Dear LO'ers,

At de Lange referred in the above mentioned contribution to Winfried D.
and my response on 'Guts' and 'Entropy'. Thank you At, for the extra kind
words you spent.

And then a bifurcation.

I will snip the main part of the contribution of At and go immediately to
the near end:

Well, first I have to thank you, At for creating some extra chaos with
your challenge of the 'Guts', and for combining and comparing Winfrieds
and my contributions.

In answering the above question:
No, our minds acted independently, as usually minds do.
At, our different emergences are a fine demonstration that the concept of
bifurcations is too simple. Several emergences on different levels of
order and in different dimensions could evolve from chaos.
How should we call this: "polifurcations"?, or 'just' ONE to MANY?

If you don't mind At, I want to put my name under these words too.

[Host's Note: You are very welcome! ..Rick]
