As I stuff my head with the bird menagerie, and try to see if I need to breed a new bird, I find that EC is best thought of as a form of combinatorics (as you thought, Bruno!).
Is there anyone out there who has any intuitions as to which bird(s) would correspond to 'coherence' or 'symmetry breaking'? I find that I must have some sort of 'adjacency' or 'proximity' applicator. Perhaps, with the bird metaphor, I need birds that have selective hearing and hear better those birds that are closer, where 'closer' means 'I can hear you'. Also... is there a 'Nothing' or a 'Vanishing' bird? If a 'normal form' completely dissappears to 'Nothing', then its normal form is 'Nothing'. Trying to axiomatise 'Nothing' seems a tad tricky, but I'm getting an idea of what it might be. Kestrelling to a Konstant 'nothing' seems useful but I'm not sure how to formalise it or whether that is the right way to think of it. The confusing difference is between 'doing nothing' and 'being nothing'. I can't believe what I just wrote, but they are serious questions from a newbie combinatoricist. Patience is required. :-) Colin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
