So in effect, you are claiming it is possible for an environment to exist that doesn't have any patterns, under any transformation of variables, whatsoever. A corrolory of which is that one cannot implement a program computing the value of Pi by an appropriate transformation of the microstate variables describing a rock. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Senior Research Fellow [email protected] Economics, Kingston University http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
