Re: Topic Reminder, collaborative consciousness

[Ayten Aydin <***>]

Dan,

The paper you refer to is not online. It is soon to appear in the conference
proceedings. It was a joint paper prepared with three ingredients
(european-american-canadian). We have surrendered the copy-right. So I can
not make it public, especially now before its publication. I did make that
quoting in our list without permission, seeing no harm to the whole and
thinking that it may support the present argument.

By the way, we now intend to organize a follow-up symposium with an extended
group within the same framework. It is now expriencing teething problems to
establish an agreed ground to grow. Once it is free to move I let you know,
you may wish to participate. I am sure you can make a valuable contribution.
Could you give me your personal e-mail address for future private
communication in case  you are interested in one way or another?

Ayten
