Efficiency and Emergence LO24990

Replying to LO22426 --

Today was another day of reflection. I consulted some of the archives and
some private correspondence with At de Lange and Andrew Campbell. And so I
was rereading a contribution of At from nearly a year ago. It surprised me
that this contribution generated so little reactions (only Thomas Struck
and a reply of At).

"Efficiency and emergence" is maybe the most important contribution on
this list. It contains most of the clues for the subjects we are dealing
with.

Please, consult the LO archives.

I wonder why there were so little reactions. Was it like the nuclear bomb
- too much energy released to cope with? Was it too long to digest? Was it
too complex? Was is as hard as diamond, not physically possible to enter,
no fruitfull connection? Was is clear and transparent as diamond, no
questions. Was it so reflective as diamond, making us blind?

At, may I ask you your own insights in this matter: why so little
response? And if you know, what could be a way to stimulate responses?
