Glen says to Nick: > I have no idea why you used the word "duality".
I am very afraid that Nick's use (is metaphorical and) can probably be traced back to having read/heard someone writing about "the wave/particle duality" or the like. I'm not sure what *you* mean by duality: the rest of your post, which I excised without thinking, makes it clear you have a definite, and precise, and *not* metaphorical meaning for it, but I don't think it's a meaning I know; and I'm doubtful that Nick, even if he's seen/heard you using it and has had it explained to him, can explain it to *me* so that I'd understand it...would you mind doing so (you can point me towards a reference instead of rehashing it yourself!)? ============================================================ 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 archives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
