The goal on this list is: the discussion and advancement of the concepts and
work of theoretical biologist Robert Rosen.

I remind everyone that this forum is not intended as a general complexity or
systems discussion list. Hence it will have a significant prima facie
philosophical bias toward Rosen's views of science, epistemology, life and
biology. If anyone considers that focus and bias to be unacceptable, then
their time is not well-spent on this list.

I think some of this recent discussion has shown that perhaps there is the
need for a more broadly-based complexity-and-biology discussion list on the
internet. It is not my intention nor my interest to host such a list. If
some wants to start one, I'll offer them what help I can.

Tim
