Judith,

Thanks a lot for the list and link. Very interesting. They
could add the origin of life to the list I think.

Also thanks for your other post with info about your
daughter and parenting. I can relate to those challenges
and soul/mind searching for new approaches, though on
different issues. Our 3 year old is doing some wild acting
out, some of it really violent and dangerous, that seems
related to sibling rivalry and jealousy about our 4 month
old who recently joined the family. One friend who tried
to help us see how hard this could be - relationally - for a
kid said to think how I'd feel if my wife brought home a
new husband. :-) That helps with both paradigm shifting
and empathy, but neither internal resource is easy to get
to match up with external actions that make matters
better rather than worse. So I too often ponder how R.
Rosen, relational systems and modeling relations can be
sources of principles in such entangled and complex
relationships. The stakes are very high and I find myself
drawing on what my gut and mind both say are the most
likely "formal systems" able to aid these challenges.

Thanks again,

Dan
