Dave,

 

In the natural design perspectives, clothing styles are examples of “fads”, 
structures or behaviors that are matched to the preferences of fellow species 
members, not to the environment of the species.  The display structures in 
courtship are examples of such “fads.”  

 

Off to FRIAM.  Hoping to see you there, even tho I know that hope is forlorn.  

 

Still struggling with heterarchy.  What think you on that, Dave?

Nick's work on Natural Design would be an obvious possibility. Less in the 
paper he recently shared to the list than in the rest of the work (five papers 
I think). Some evil genius has coopted his ideas and learned to manipulate them.

seekers...for a bit cheeper than Nike.
