Dear Gordana, the message you forwarded to me included this:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite"> I am pleased to invite you to an upcoming
lecture that builds upon our<br>
exploration of the boundaries of scientific knowledge which
started with<br>
Stuart Kauffman's New Year lecture.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I have added a brief reference to Kauffman's work (of which I've
been aware for<br>
many years, though not the most recent work) in my massive messy
document,<br>
referenced below[*], on various aspects of biological evolution,
reproduction<br>
and development, and connections with ancient mathematical and
engineering<br>
discoveries by humans including many apparently independent
discoveries of<br>
geometric (i.e. not logic-based) proofs of Pythagoras' theorem in
several<br>
different countries centuries before Pythagoras was born.<br>
<br>
Much deep spatial reasoning must have been involved in
construction of ancient<br>
pyramids and temples (including processes transporting massive
chunks of rock by<br>
water and land).<br>
<br>
There also seem to be many biological processes that at least
implicitly make<br>
use of deep geometric and topological aspects of space-time some
of which may<br>
also challenge current fundamental theories in physics, e.g. the
processes of<br>
insect metamorphosis discussed in this document<br>

I am sorry to be a nuisance.<br>
