Ayten,

The entire dialog between you and JohnM is rich (for me, at least). The 
passage above, in particular, slapped me in the face directly 
(metaphorically speaking). The QP program I wrote deal with expanding on 
initial conditions, but does nothing, afik, to explore the boundary 
conditions except to the extent that it runs out of entailments and 
expands its model no further. If one were to surmise that a cookbook, at 
least some recipe in a cookbook would grow out of the methodology 
necessary to setup my QP program, then, it seems clear to me that the 
program needs a world-view change that facilitates its ability to 
explore (whatever that means) the boundary conditions entailed in those 
initial conditions. Right now, I don't have a clue where to start on 
such an inquiry.

Thanks
Jack
