    Recently I've noticed some rather bizzare expressions being recirculated in this
    thread which make no sense to me... [snip]... I don't know what such terms as
    "redescription" (a favorite of Matt now altered to "reconceptualization") and
    "semiosis" have to do with the Primary Difference.

    Semiosis is no more a "bizarre expression" than "Primary Difference". And I'm
    not sure I was responding to anything other than Case's statement that semiosis
    doesn't factor in much of human behavior. My contention is the anything that is
    "out of the moment" of pure experience is, in fact, necessarily semiotically
    mediated. Value relationist judgement, for example. And that many signs that
    are culturally used to generate pre-intellectual experience must be recognized
    as signs first, prior to their effect (looking at a painting by Rembrandt, was
    one example).

    As for the intelligence of trees, you're on your own with that.
