[MD] Quantum Enigma

[MarshaV]

Hi Dave,

It is ALL very interesting, but in the end, they are intellectual static 
patterns of value.  They may represent the best struggling against
the best, but still they are intellectual static patterns of value and have 
limitations, changeability, incompleteness and impermanence.   

The book defines the 'hard' and 'easy' problems, but I look forward to 
reading your's and Adrie's articles.  

Thank you.
