Howard,
It occurs to me that daily life is in itself an abstraction, especially
when seen in the context of our dealing with life only as far as we may
know it (or think we know it). As such, it is no better and surely no
worse than Senge's argument or postulate. Shall we recall the Allegory of
the Cave...?
Sincerely,
John Constantine
