I made the mistake of attempting to cross wits with Brad Mcfall once and ended up with crossed eyes.

7) If not, shouldn't it be about time we tell him once and for all that you have to make sense on this forum?
Mmmmm.......well then Lam, quite often imo, you need to go and iyo, I need to go.

Leave Ol' Brad alone, he's a twinkling star of serene counter-sensality in the overly unrippled sea of thoughts that is EvC forum.

reviewing hope and help on the way.
Looks like you needed before a history of mole bio something from "Everything and More - A compact history of "&(potential infinity) by Wallace in 2003 with a jacket read of "Wallace+infinity: wonderful pairing! This is most exquistely (and hilariously) original science writing. Wallace embraces the incompatibility of mathematics and prose and makes art from it. And it's a great story, too." Commented by James Glieck whom I guess you must know. The story can be read from Russel's perspective with the word COMPACT set in bold etc etc. But I would have started without the repdem slogan for you with 5 paragraphs on page 8 @1b.-
"Chesterton above is wrong in one re...trying to talk about is one of logic's main characteristics-and mathematics'. Abstractness. Abstraction.
It is worth getting straight...
Here...Something they can touch and hold. Are asked to count them...
Sometimes a kind will have trouble....
The point:The basic def. of 'abstract' for our purposes is going to be somewhat concatenated 'removed from or transcending concrete particularity, senous experience.' Used in this way, 'abstract' is a term from metaphysics. Implicit in all mathematical theories, in fact, is some sort of metaphysical position. The father of abstraction in mathematicsythagoras. The father of abstraction in metaphysicslato."
I am guilty of this abstraction but note in this book FYI becam IFI "for" then was IF YOUR ARE INTERESTED!! The spelling errors are allmine not a bot about it. I am not comma happy or rather I am as Mark saw. I need to slow down and explain myself now that the REST is not longer resting. I find a need to ABSTRACT FROM genetic KNOWLEDGE you may not, hence my need to explain or the um(p)teenth time but this time for the cardinal good.

the dong show
It might be possible to geneticize macrothermodyanmics at
the Fisher-Wright correspondence (see Provine p270 "I think Fisher had in fact changed his mind as a result of thinking about "fission" while writing THE GENTETICAL THEORY OF NATURAL SELECTION...") when analogy to the 2nd law of themo croped up in their letters. If one could find a way to relate both recurrent mutations and reverse information flow by strong macrothermodynamic time scaled inequalities abstracted TO a selectED (artificial) environment it would be possible to advance biological change beyond Gould's Rooselvelt or Franklin. So, if Gibbs' (need to distinguish two voices here) minimization were itself selected the empirical experimental philosophy would exist to motivate further math on these lines. Gladyshev doubts such is possible but he also knows that there is not a number of correlations between entropy and order but if as I write that thermal currents are the environment IS THE TRUTH (if) IN the difference of Wright and Fisher (major factors in adaptive modification(s)) formalizations to quantitative cases the existence of a Darwininan individual might suggest IT****SELF without contributing to creationist criticism by ding of DIFFERNT KINDS OF DISNTANCES as to an ADVANCE BOTH SIDES GAVE (thus if) to science.
It would be very interesting to correlate meiosis, inbreeding, state folding (no matter the orientation to gravity) and Gladyshev's rejuvenation Kant's judgement provided. Russel did not try to DITCH Deedikind. Futher floushies might arrive tecnicaly as torision free groups show that inbreeding and meiosis are both rejuvenated by the principle of substance stability and the end of the discussion of graph theory in biogoegraphy.
This is alot of ground to cover but Ihave.
This seems to be the missing point that Wright simply mis read in Fisher but becuse of different numerical approaches the differences morphologically of geometry --> algebra and algebra-->geometry remained for only Wolfram to properly critcize. I disagree with that philosophy of math even if I might add a little stochasticism in my own idea of Pascal math induction determinisms.

If Brad really made no sense at all then it would be easy to ignore him and little loss to ban him. The thing is that sometimes he does make sense or at least there are tantalising hints of sense peaking through the stream of consciousness style of his posts. I have seen him hold up a several posts long dialogue, but I couldn't vouch for anyone being any the wiser after it of course.
TTFN,

Re: the dong show
Anyone else find it funny that even though Brad's posts make little to no sense his grammar and punctuation is a lot better than several sensible people on this board?

Re: the dong show
i think the problem lies in that his grammar and punctuation is TOO good, combined with complex sentance structure and wandering logic.
i mean, the guy's not stupid. his posts make ME feel stupid.

The State offers the above as evidence. It is labelled "Prosecution A".
It is the contention of the prosecution that Brad can tie the worlds of mathematics, biology, and chemistry into one universal theory of everything. However, in doing so, only he is able to untangle the deceptively coherent web that he has constructed. For us mere mortals, it will take five to six years to understand the background information that Mr. McFall bandies about like a kitten with yarn. It is the finding of our investigation that Mr. McFall should have been burned at the stake during the Inquisition for being in possession of the Black Arts. But given our place in time, we will humbly request that his writings continue unabated on certain websites to be named later. However, all will feign disintrest and pretend that Mr. McFall is indeed mad while knowing that he is in fact the Reincarnation of Leonardo Di Vinci.
Keep on keepin on, little buddy. Your posts will always be welcome.

You're a bit rude with Brad. I have not finished to read one of his old post concerning baraminology just because the style is hmm hmm... complicate. Anyways, it makes sense after a looooong moment.
Thank you Brad, you opened my eyes on some dark side of science.

Re: the dong show
Dont feel any the lessOR. Your avatar reminds of the platypus skull I saw in the Smithsonian and gave me much room to anatomical draw out a diagram in Faraday. I think that by trying to understand the simple physics behind macrothermodynamics I have been able to read a difference between the USE of the 1932 meeting in ITHACA where Wright was able to step beyond the dominance of Fisher once and for good and goodness sake we can ask Mammuthus in Germany if this is any larger but I will have to relate the difference of teaching genetics in the eary 60s (due to my memory from the early 70s of my gradfather) WITHIN A DIFFERENCE of Muller and Plunkett without getting into NEwNGLAND. But his even strips all the caffine off the blackness that is but a Catherdral in New Orleans.
