Duncan, I'm not following every detail here, but it's clear that you
have some clear mental infrastructure in your head that informs and

"principles", and "is clearly partitioned internally".
These things are clear to you, but my sense it that they are *not*
clear even to other well-informed people. (I exclude myself from
this group.) It's like the Loch Ness monster: the bits above the
waves make sense only when you get an underwater picture that shows
you the monster underneath that explains why the humps surface in
the way they do.
FWIW, I fully agree with this (although I'm not especially well-
informed in this particular area). It would be immensely helpful if
Cabal's "philosophy" was described somewhere.
