[MD] The origin of spin(murdering MOQ?)

[Ron Kulp]

     Stephen Jay Gould, a well-known scientist came up with a
hierarchical evolutionary level paradigm, but Gould explains in detail
that their are more bacteria than human beings, so, who is surviving
better.  Gould also explains how hierarchical doesn't imply the kings
and peasants of old it is one of complexity and geological time.  This
is the persective I had when I read Pirsig's levels.  The meaning of
hierarchical, as Gould explains, has baggage, and why its' use I can't
remember, and don't find the why to be very important to look it up
right now.  I do know Gould uses the hierarchical levels in an
unorthodox way, which isn't surprising since Gould spoke a lot about
unorthodox views that are to be perceived to understand the new data
science has to offer.  The meanings of words change throughout time by
the way.

Meanings of words change over time and change by location in fact
language can be so esoteric, factors like body language
And inflection, subtleties of gesture, the possibility of
mis-interpretation is so great,it's a wonder we communicate 
as well as we do. geologic time....magnetic north, the reason for a
"true" north and magnetic north is because of earths "wobble" on it's
axis which is the reason for the change in seasons annually not so much
solar winds as I believe someone
Mentioned, there are other "norths" as accepted here in the states as
the North American Datum or NAD a unifying standard.
Even mathmatics has esoteric exceptions, example, philadelphia has what
is known as the "philly foot" it varies by street
And by block, you have to go through a city regulator so he can give you
the factor (which can be anywhere from 1.3 to 9.7)
Which makes a huge difference when planning a design. So, when someone
says a "foot is a 12 inches anywhere in the universe",
 it Is'nt in philadelphia. I must look up Stephen Jay Gould, thank you
