Dear At,

thank you very much for your reply. Now I feel free to work on my own
through many of those question to which the digestor model points.

And I think, this is the general characteristic of the digestive learning
process. The challenge for a sustainable process of digestion is, to
ballance it in a win-win situation for predator and prey as in nature ("it
happens harmoniously with the rest of nature") also for the system of
humankind's culture.

Win-win for predator and prey! No, I am not joking. It must be just like
this. (Nice entropic force, isn't it?)

Liebe Gruesse,

Winfried
