from literary ... to scientific ... and back again

Glad to provide something to think about. And glad to have something to think about in return. Very interesting extension and questions about what causes entities of different sorts to group/cohere. Betcha the answer is that there are some significant similarities between what binds molecules together and what binds people together but also some significant differences (molecules don't construct stories). For more along these lines, see /complexity/course/emergence07/ (offered again this spring).

Happy to get together "to further explore the ways we interpret our world," as per /sci_cult/TwoCultures.html
