For Diana: <br>As said I launched this my
"change-over-time" idea at another site but was informed that a
science-writer, Robert A. Wilson, had anticipated it by many
years. I searched for RAW on the Net and must see if it
matches mine - at least I doubt if any Pirsig/Quality
connection is to be found - and will suspend "the end of the
world" for a while :). Thanks for the interest and stand
by.<br><br>For Sara.<br>Welcome back from the Waddensee on the
"Yansa". So you did not know about Chris Pirsig? The said
afterword (written in Sweden in 1984) is to be found in the

editions. The afterword is too long to be copied (I have no
scanner), but your comments about crime and punishment are
very apt and explains a long way why LILA got such a
tepid/hostile reception by "intellectuals". <br><br>For
Joao<br>Regarding the bird and monkey examples I couldn't find the
source(s), but they are not important for the synchronicity
of ideas phenomenon, f.ex. Darwin and Wallace
developing the Evolution Theory in parallel.<br>Bo
