    Yale,

    can I add my plea to these.
    Perhaps a summary / teaser of the key messages in your paper would help us.

    Not having yet read your paper, I for one have some thoughts about the
    chaotic (pseudo-cyclic, pseudo-trending) nature of "memetics" (the way
    thought and knowledge evolve), and consequently I have an interest in
    fractals beyond the pretty images they can create - somewhere close to
    Dawkins "generators" and Wolfram's "cellular automata" I guess. I also live
    in hope that such mechanisms may lie behind the evolution of / between
    levels in Pirsig's MoQ and similar hierarchical views about how the world is
    arranged.

    I may just have to read it anyway :-)

    Andy, Yale and all

    Andy said to Yale:
    I have read your paper. Or more honestly skimmed it. You seem to want
    someone on the list to confirm your belief that there is a connection
    between Pirsig and your paper (fractal philosophy). Why don't you just tell
    us about the
    connection instead of making us needlessly wait in suspense.

    dmb adds:
    Yea. Why not dish up some kind of summary? Why not make us curious? Who
    wants a homework assignment? Make it fun.
