As a human being, and as an anthropologist, I can make predictions and create predictive models based on a largely non-conscious understanding of culture. Such predictions are not based on mathematics (a mathematics of culture is pragmatically impossible at the moment). Predictive models do not a science make. davew ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
