Complexity is, well, complex.

Chinese medicine is also complex.

I think it's a little premature to

be touting similarities before we

have achieved a higher level of

research and discourse on the

subject. I was responding to's remark.

Maybe. May well be.

What is energy?

 

For example, why are there 5

Darn good question. I've been doing

research on this, at least in terms

of Chinese traditions of metaphorical

mathematics (or mathematical metaphysics)

for several years now. Could make an

interesting book.

Have you read Syngergetics by

Dear Attilio and Zev,

 

I can't believe that in complaining about this persons auto reply, Zev

attached the whole 25 message digest and then Attilio attached the whole of

Zevs message! For those who get the digest its such a waste of time

scrolling through to find any other messages.

Please have a thought when attaching unnecessary stuff and use the delete

key.

Thanks

Susie
