[Fis] Fis Digest, Vol 126, Issue 4

[Katherine Peil]

Dear friends,
I am shocked and saddened to hear that we have lost the wonderful Karl. May we honor him by understanding and applying what he has given us. I had hoped for more in-depth communication and interaction to get there myself, but if his job here is done, the ball is in our court. Feel free to contact me with any insights you may have gained that can illuminate the “computational” paradigm. To my mind, he was describing something akin to the NAND logic gate, and it was a quite profound missing piece.
With reverent gratitude and a bit of heartbreak,
Kate Kauffman

Dear Pedro and all
I too join in the embrace, using an economy whose capital is prayer:
Lord, mercy,
forgiveness and mercy, may your will be done.

Francis
