Russel -
I only recently realized that *you* were the author of "Theory of
Nothing"... my wife brought home a copy (she is the consummate
hunter-gatherer of books) and I saw your name on it. I must have read
it when it was first published (6 years ago or so?) but lost track of
the copy...
When you posted here, it made me think to follow up and surely enough!
Very interesting work! Your use of the concepts of Syntactic and
Semantic languages applied to physics models and it's relevance to
emergence was worth the price of entry (free to me, but you get the
point) by itself! I don't remember you weighing in when Nick was
holding his weekly discussion group on Emergence, but this would have
been helpful IMO!
