Thanks to Robert & Jim for SFL references. Can I ask for
a definition of "cline" as well? I have just guessed at the
meaning and would like a check on the definition I've
inferred - which is: the type of relationship that pertains
between processes at different levels of a system (i.e., not
causal/correlational etc. but....) AND/OR: the tendency or
bias of a system towards some direction of change due to
patterns of events happening subsystemically.
I know the above is at least close. Thanks.
- Judy
