do i have to look in the obituaries to make sure you=are not there? :)

nice about himself in the press Remind me of a scientist who staged up his death in order to find someth=ng

yes , or in paris if i come earlier. &nbs=; what are you working on? =do you think there is any fundamental reason why biology has n=t opened its mysteries to mathematics? Possibly, he consistency of the failures = of the attempts of making conceptual math-biology points towa=d an interesting psycological mechanism gen=rating the strive to achieve it.

mechanism -- something as sophisticated as Watt's pressure regulat=r

non-trivial,e.g. physical Math science in biology or someth=ng may be a persistent essentially illusion. static such Such as an philosophy illusion may or religion. gener=te something dynamically

if one looks at probabilty distributions. it could appear =hat the curve is a result of being acted on by a pseudo force. =nbsp; pushing agents towards the center. the activity of=change more along the curve ( membrane ) one agent moves=up the other down so the distribution remains the same? At harvard last week i hosted a group discussing deception. .&n=sp; the cost benefit. . camaflouge. misinforation, disimformation. &n=sp; etc , the feelign was that the role of your ergo cou=d be the system designed to read the inner workings of your predator=or your prey. . instilling false signals , is a cheap pr=tection. anyway hope to see you soon

the word mechanism gives me pause, - &nbs=; it relates so much to the industrial revolution where evrything an= everyone can be thought of as a machine. &nb=p; the concept of hope. for example . or even the idea of " concepts=. in general do not appear to me to lend themselves to m=chanics. . is probability a " mechanism " =2E ?

understood. . however&=bsp; what i like is the concept of pressure . says nothing at =11 about any one molecule , but gives useful information re the statistica= . I wonder if people are more like the indi=idual molecule and only looking at the statistical overview may give=some info. the term social being, means part=of a group. . left isolated the indiv cannot thrive. &nbs=; the study of groups of individuals , actuarial tables etc.&n=sp; seems useful. but only at the boundary s of certainty or z=ro. does it say anything meaningful about any single person.

persistant illusion? consiousness required.&nb=p; not sure what you mean by illusion

you know how it is: a vague idea wants to materialize, =nbsp; ... many are called but few are chosen
