...your forest view of all my trees

But you can't have a forest without trees in the first place, dear Alamo-Girl!

But then you do know how very intrigued I am with the problem of "the evolution of a population of one" -- as Rod Swenson so felicitously terms it in his article, "Thermodynamics, Evolution, and Behavior."

BTW, the crickets do not seem to be doing much chirping right about now. :^) It must be Winter.

Also BTW, I thought the "Hypercube T-T-T" article was truly extraordinary, A-G. On first reading, I think I have only scratched the surface of its meaning. I'll be consulting it again. Thank you ever so much!

Thank you so much for your reply! I'm tickled you enjoyed the hyperspace tic-tac-toe. I agree with you there is more there than meets the eye, especially when one considers the possible structure of space/time.

It's all crickets all the time here - hopefully the conversation will pick up on the new thread when the article is finished.

Since we seem to always top off a long thread with a benediction, perhaps this will be appropriate for the final conversation here:

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard...

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. – Psalms 19

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. - Isaiah 6:9-10
