Hi David M, Hadn't quite thought of it that way but I think you're onto something. Electrons need to know what's going on in their world to know what to do. Their behavior, like all behavior up and down the line, is moral. That's Pirig's break-from-culture Dynamic-inspired intellectual pattern, and its a powerful explanatory pattern indeed -- much better than science's "oops" or "don't ask."
