Folks -- As one who has been puzzling about the "relations between the

Dear Stan & Joseph,
Many thanks for your responses and for your interest in my naive
comments. My interpretation of M. Conrad views in that wonderful
abstract is that most molecular recognition events are per se isolated
or followed by some very specific pathway. Then in many cases an
accessor

causation', large scale signals impact simultaneously many small scale
processes, while in upward causation, small scale signals need to accumulate
into some kind of ensemble message. But Conrad 'fluctuons' seem to be
trying
