So Yves,
Let me ‘letterdrop’ a query to you here where it’s out of the way. I read the extended and interesting discussion on stability and non-linear processes re: liquidity of yesterday; I was otherwise engaged, and didn’t join in. I’ve kicked around the idea of doing write up on some of the issues raised there. It would be longish for a comment post, though, and would take the better part of an evening if I put it together so I wouldn’t invest the time unless I was going to put it up somewhere. Would you have an interest in eyeballing it to see if you wanted to give it space if it so merited? I could do it and drop you a .pdf for a yes/no if you are inclined and have an email. I’m not fishing for a spotlight; the issues involved regarding dynamical systemicity in socially mediated parameter spaces have interested me deeply for many years so I’d like to push that discussion to the extent that I can. Post up and let me know; I probably won’t check back here until late in the afternoon. Thanks for all your efforts and enterprise, BTW.
