Dear All, 

AllI am trying to keep track, over a VERY slow modem, of all the arguments and 
counter arguments that have come my way as a result of my attempts to find out 
from you all what is essentially mathematical, what is essentially 
computational, and what is essentially just plain good old fashioned LOGIC.  

One point that slipped by in the hail of ">>>>>'s" was a distinction that 
somebody made between simulation and mathematics.   While I am asking REALLY 
dumb questions,  I wanted somebody to explain to me how ALGEBRA is not a kind 
of simulation?  

I promise that these questions arent endless, and that your answers have been  
very helpful to me--for what THAT is worth.
