Re: MR as ontological, Fechner

["Dan Fiscus" <***>]

Mike,

Looks good on first scan. I'll read it. Reminds me of "teleomechanist"
school in Germany, de Chardin's "Heart of Matter", Bateson's "Mind
and Nature" and his "pattern that connects", plus the history and
ideas help for what I am into. Not to mention Rosen...

Thanks for the article...

Dan
