Hi everyone, Although still quite rattled over misleading and
abuse of trust events, I venture to share with you my favorite
"summ is greater than the parts example" and leave it up to you to
do the extrapolations. The example is from Vygostsky, found in
Moll's Vygotsky and Education. It is the water molecule methaphor
whereby hydrogen and oxygen taken separately function as
combustors, together (in specific combination) function as water
Extrapolating through levels is a sort of neat envisionment
whether it is xmca or in another domain.

Bambuzzlements, bambuzzlementsPLEASE (enough already)

PS. The 41rst International Film FEstival is on in San Francisco
and I saw two Russian movies. A short and "A Friend of the
deceased" by Viatcheslav Krichtofovich. Thought of you all, and
saw scrumptious looking Russian white loaves of bread!
