[Sigia-l] What is in a definition?

[Ed Housman]

Oh yeah, I started an analysis of this conversation on information
as a sort of fantasy, or the beginning of a Alice-in-Wonderland
kind of piece, with gremlins dissecting our conversation.

The first stubject that came up was CONTEXT, and then I got
distracted.  I'll look for it and put it on my web page.

go to www.nathanmayhew.org/archie/context.htm tomorrow.  Hope I
can find it..  I liked it.  It was a Word document, but I
think that slips right into HTML.  Oh, shoot! I can't find it,
but I did find the first distillation, which I will load into
that URL above right now.
