Folks: odd to see ferernces to *causes* in CAS (complex and Adaptive
Systems) discussion. Ussually we see attractors as referents where
causes* were used in linear systems. At those boundary phases where order
slips to chaos, order emerges from chaos (chaordic theory), causes are not
at all relevant, conditions are more so.
Am I missing something, here? Even if it is the analogy that underlies the
metaphor seeking to unite these two diagramatics... ;-} rap.
