As a reminder of the complexities here, note that going from physical -> chemical -> biological is going BOTH up AND down in scale. (The physical is both the biggest and the smallest.) This is important because QM could be said to be a science of contextuality that might be parlayed to subjects at any scale. The sequence is an increase in intensional complexity, not in extensivity. It is a focusing in on the mesoscopic scales. STAN _______________________________________________ fis mailing list fis@listas.unizar.es http://webmail.unizar.es/mailman/listinfo/fis
