Re: Promoting Rosennean concepts

Someone once wrote that to reach a general audience, each equation in the
book cuts the audience in half. The challenge in promoting Rosen's ideas
is to explain them in common (everyday) language. Of course our common
(everyday) language comes form a reductionist world-view. Sometimes there
simply are not the words to explain the concepts.... thats why Rosen went
to the math.
The other challenge is that since Rosen's ideas will probably not lead to a
new predictive theory (like solving differential equations), there needs to
be an identifiable "effect". My hunch is that the "effect" will be in the
creation of some kind of "self-organizing" system that will turn out to
do "something" useful for us. Something like we put the ingredients in
a "soup", let it sit a while, and it "self-organizes" and starts making
some "useful" by-product like a hydro-carbon (that we can burn).
