Thanks for the reply Bodvar. I realize I'm getting in on dialogues that
went on before...as a new subscriber. I agree with you. I believe what
stimulated my "concern" in the first place was the language I was reading

the lower levels (soc, bio, inorg) vis-a-vis the ideational plane. Sorry
for working an old idea; thanks for the reply. Don
