bo, marco and focii,
to bo:
I have nothing but the deepest respect for your analysis of my use of the
word 'just'. The problem is that folowing the MOQ almost anything is
'created' by the observing mind, but I refuse to conclude that anything thus
finds his place on the intellectuel level - why should the MOQ then need at
the other three for ? ZAMM says Newton created gravity by defining it, I
would say that what makes Newton one of the great scientists is, that he
created a new pattern on(/in) the anorganic level ! Dynamical influence
flows from the intellectual to the inorganic level.

Is the word "angst" the internationaly used term in existentialism ? Because
in my dutch translations "angst" reads as the dutch word for "fear" and so
is not a special term.)
Should there be a new concept of language and communication in order to
avoid SOM in the discussing of MOQ ?

The changing is thus ordered - why should changing submit itself to a 'one
way stream' of time?

Which problem ? The system does in no way violate the idea of time, nor the
ordening. The "paradox" isn't even a real paradox (it *is* logically
consistent), it only violates a outdated "common sense".

You only reverse my statement: I just stated that the (time/)entropy vs.
evolution conflict is based on the understanding of order and chaos.
greetings, Jaap
