Brad, I'm just a simple economist, and I'm not sure I get it. I don't understand the "totality" and how I might be a perspective on it. What little cosmology I've read tells me that we haven't the faintest idea of what the totality really is and where we are within it. Did it ever begin and will it ever end? Is it finite or infinite? Is there a single universe or, as some cosmologists propose, are there an infinite number? I sometimes long for pre-Copernican times when we knew we were halfway between heaven and hell! At least then we had a sense of direction!
