Don, Thanks, "an age in which designers and architects are drawing their inspiration from hidden patterns in nature " is wonderful to see in the Times, but still missing one of the most obvious of the 'hidden patterns', that growth systems are self-organizing eruptions of change, that *always* loose their independence when running into other things. It's the key observation needed for understanding the natural development of systems, and changes everything.
