I don't. I just proposed to use a different WORD for complexity,
not to change the system. And I have no idea or proposal, this is why I
asked for the collective brainsearch for a better WORD.
My "wholeness" (from D. Bohm) is trasitional, until we find a better one. I
just want to stay away from the endogenous-impredicative-like
common and quotidien everyday's wording, no Greek in it and short.
And no reference within the word to other words with different meaning with
which it could be confused, like by your specifyiers.

John
