Interesting examples of what he is talking about.
Thanks, that makes what you are proposing much clearer. I'm not sure how
the essential facts are selected from the universe of facts, but making
that
distinction is probably part of the process. I'm not very familiar with
most
of the models you are probably intending to integrate so I can't hazard
a guess
about whether their integration is possible (due to inconsistencies) or
whether
the result would have broad enough coverage, but I think your approach has
a lot of merit.
Any time you'd like to throw the list more references, I'm sure I'm not
the only
one interested in broadening my horizons to include new material.
I'll do that, of course, to the best of my ability.
The biggest problem is the size of the project. Those snippets were 2
out of a roughly a thousand, all of which have to be couched in terms of
a coherent framework (it would not make anyone happy if I simply listed
them all).
The book that all this stuff is going into has about fifty projected
chapters (roughly 10,000-word sized chunks of related information).
Plus there is the software development tool that integrates all of it
and makes experimental tests of teh ideas possible.
My current strategy is to try to get an outside sponsor interested in
putting together a team to do it: very hard for me to do this alone.
Plus I also work better when interacting with others (extrovert
characteristic, apparently).
