Salaam to all!
Well, looks like we have lost Tim. [He unsubscribed "via web" << * ]
(Can't say I blame him.)
Even though I believe his posts delved far too deeply at the
'fundamental' issues -- which inform a significant aspect of the
topic of this NG; even though sympathetic as I may be to his
aspiration, I shun overly optimistic and elastic formulations;
nonetheless I very much respect Tim: for the considered reflection
indicated by his posts, here and in his site [1]; and the generosity
of his soul as evident in his giving of that which he has come to
posses, by HIS Grace.
(I say lets invite him back.)
Even generous souls require a little pat on the back once in a while,
don't they?
(And lets see some appreciative 'engagement' of the content provided,
for a change.)
Besides that, I like to assert the following:
___________________________________________________________________
The Uruborous Hypothesis:
~Alpha [Top>>Down] Spatial Order is reflective of Social Order
~Omega [Top<<Down] Social Order is affected by Spatial Order
___________________________________________________________________
[ * >> This is of course directly related to the topic at hand :)]
Now, where the candle power is strongly self-evident, there, I'd
venture, is also the capacity to see the current 'emerging social
climate' in as an ideal laboratory for a timely consideration of the
above hypothesis, which is asserted. [For what is written on 'the
parchment' but 'words'? And whose eyes read, and whose mouths say
'it is meant so and so'? A question, well worth pondering, for the
subjects of Caesar.]
(& Perhaps it is not too late.)
Peace, Rooz Khosh, Bon Fete, & Joyeaux Noel!
