Hi Paul,
The Brown passage does relate to some things on the back burner with regard to experimental approaches. Don't know if Brown is a physicist, but the 1935 paper by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen eventually led to deep discussions about including the observer into quantum mechanical theory, via some thought experiments including cats. If Schrödinger had only had a bunny...
Your reminder of Phil Graham's description was certainly in my life-space when we observed new actions of the bunny, and most likely contributed to the playful post, with a little medi(c)ation by some chardonnay, following a rousing day of physical labor, talking with the earth and with Barker, though the latter may not have been listening.
BTW, my son, a dual philosophy/legal studies major, is interested in Marx related writings -- do you have any suggestions appropriate for a 4th year undergrad?
