  Hi, Andy,

Jacques Carpey was always referring to Pierce in the context of
sign-mediation. I would appreciate the copy.
Thanks,

I have on my table a violin string. It is free. I twist one end of
it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a
violin string is supposed to do - to produce music. So I take it,
fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then it
is free to be a violin string.
