A connected article from this one, about the 'holographic universe' [on page 2], reports that "information capacity depends on surface area." While just contemplating the math/formulas makes my brain hurt, the image of our convoluted neocortical surfaces contrasted to a fish's nearly smooth one, and the leap in complexity not merely in the _amount_ of information but in _the way those bits can be connected and re-arranged_ seems 'elegantly intuitive.' :) Visual Thinker Maru __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
