Excellent presentation, TR. Thanks. It printed out like garbage
on my screen, but it was worth my effort to clean it up and save.

Your references to chaos theory have always piqued my interest,
but this is the first one that linked chaos with a science I
already understand and respect, thus giving me an entry point.

It's also the first theoretical explication of a "post-modernism"
in which I have found anything potentially practical other than
a critique of modernism. In fact, what you outline strikes me not so
much as a post-modernism, but as an improved or extended
modernism. I don't understand why you consider it post-modern.
