Well yes, it was Bruno's theory that I originally commented on. I said that it had originally troubled me that it seemed as vulnerable to the reduction/elimination impasse as any other "ism" based on purportedly fundamental entities but, on further reflection, I thought it might be able to escape that impasse, essentially for the reasons encapsulated in my remark above. It seemed to me that this was, at least, an important conceptual distinction. Wasn't that what we were discussing? Anyway, I think I've said my piece for now. I'm sure there will be other occasions ;-) David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
