My claim is that most of today's science can be personally used, by you, to manipulate the world. You can build the device. And you can use it to formulate a test for these theories. And I claimed this in order to push home my point that theories are not scientific unless they are accompanied by the science of a _test_. -- glen =><= Hail Eris! ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
