for ehud. last week of july would be good .he's in or around new york we could fly to meet you. anywhere 2.
he will also come to my ranch with his wife. ( valeria i think will truly like ) in new mexico during some period
in august, of course you and valeria would be most welcome . I can arrange everything- private flights/ all
costs of course. fyi If you want some co when valeria is gone Im happy to buy you lunch.
try this argument on . I have been trying to describe things to you as shapes. the reason is that I find that most of
the proposed minimal computing modules are in the main inherently linear. that cant be right. they follow a
machine computing mathematical model I would ask you to think more of music, where there is both a
horizontal melody ,prosody ,and its harmony ie vertical information at every point. This simple version would
describe a two dimensional map. the fluctuations in shape if the horizontal and vertical were mapped would be
like a flag in the wind. now imagine writing on the flag. . though the patterns are infinite , all words would
still fall only along the flag , no matter what the shape. the flag is grammar. like a handkerchief it can fold
back on itself. ( recursive ) ( limited int he real world to 8 or less folds by the way ) . the sentences either fall on
the flag or they don't . it represents a coherent map. 1 these maps should be similar in all sense making
modules vision etc. .
I very much appreciate the dichotomy of your science- taking disjointed rough thinking and making them
smooth , elegant and inspiring, while your role in politics seems exactly the opposite, taking the intellectual
smooth and lazy and sticking a disjoint in their thinking .

Would early August work? Valeria's off to Brazil in a few days, and she'd very much like to take part.
