Robin—
I appreciate the usefulness of approximations. Natural approximations in genetics allows me to continue as a rational being at times. However, subtle influences on my stable, approximately closed systems are limiting that condition noted above. I am afraid the neutrinos and other subtle influences are changing my almost closed systems such that their resonance coupling Is changing MY total entropy to an undesirable (from my standpoint) level and at too fast a rate. Nevertheless, warm regards.

They are only a virtual construct like quarks IMHO. [snip] There may not be any truly closed systems, but there are plenty of systems that are closed enough to make treating them as closed give answers that are accurate enough to work with. As an engineer, I'm sure you appreciate this. ;) Regards, Robin van Spaandonk local asymmetry = temporary success
