Re: Description of evolution

[James N Rose <***>]

Thanks John, for your remarks  (they were more than chatty) :-)

I've got to admit that I'm a modeler.  Can't avoid
it or break away from it .. since my nature is: to 
see patterns and relations, and act out behaviors
in time sequence to those patterns. I'm an inate
'entailer' you might say.  cognitively or not, I
move information and relations through the ecology
I'm part and parcel with, and pattern recognition
is what my soma does best.

you see, what I am  - is a natural concept - in the
highest sense that you mentioned it, but where you
would exclude 'modelling'.

so the lairs paradox rises again ...  modeling
is a natural thing inside the whole of the natural
universe, but some minds want to apply a cartesian
type cut to natural v artificial constructs.

If I denounced and gave up modelling, I'd have to
go running into a forest wildeness and let nature
have its way with me .. to be one-with-the-universe 
in its purest least adulterated/contrived sense;
no artiface .. pure communing with nature.

(you'll excuse me if I don't choose that option, ok?)

:-)

best regards, my friend,
Jamie
