I don't know if you actually know what you're talking about, but if you do you should work on being able to express it. I doubt ANYONE can follow those ramblings. I don't mean to be harsh, but please understand that's no way to put forth an argument. It's like talking to an ELIZA-like program.
I must agree. Very technical jargon, poor punctuation, with abysmal organization of thoughts (and perhaps incorrect usage of nontehcnical words in many cases) make it entirely incomprehensible. When I read a random scientific article, I often don't know many of the field-specific technical terms, but one still gets a general sense for the argument being put forth and the reasoning supporting it. Here, it feels like a disaster.
"perhaps you will be the first to displace this sustained attention"
"your good big statistical mechanical heart desires but this will not guarenttee in biology that you have a an electron DISTRIBUTION"
"you can have any letter I wrote as I do not require the last word"
"Because cellular automata are about fungi not lichens which you or I could engineer in some future ecosystem and besides I DID THINK of something substative in Wolfram's classifications of automata but as his own company distanced himself from it I will only now write about that under the issue of Why Weyl never got biology just left."
"if it matters which way the dripping water flows but I guess you simply have a materialistic bent that is the majority here but not one I arouse nor try to awake"
Is English your third language? Jesus, work on your communication skills. I don't care if you're ten times the genius Einstein was, none of it will be worth a damn if you can't communicate effectively with others.
