Maggie,

My reply email butchered the graph so i wont reproduce it.

Im very confused by your graph: Where did it come from (where did you get
those points and how did you decide they were particularly important,
usually only asmptopes, apexes and inflection points are of particular
intrest)? you say it's a 2-d slice of a tornado, whats the thrid dimension?
  can someone rationally decided to immitate?

The asymptote (i cant spell at all, forgive me) at the top is particularly
puzzling. at a certain level of immitation there is infinite choice? flip
the tornado upsidedown and it makes more sense to me, but even that graph is
flawed because with no immitation there can be no choice (not even any
language with which to think or decide). Although, Many mysitcs claim
freewill is just an illusion (or rather real, but caused by illusion), and
that when one reaches enlightenement Quality determines ones actions
(immitation of Quality?).

The only point i can descern is where the graph breaks off from the
immitation axis. When there was an individual choice, the intellectual was
born (when purposive rational action yielded to symbolic interaction in the
terms of jurgen habermas).

But, what do you see as the Quality of this graph (i unfortunately see
little, but thats my fault and not yours)? what are your answers to your
question?

Elliot
