From: Jim Russell <J.A.Russell@exeter.ac.uk> Subject: (urth) A walk on the wild side Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 16:14:54 +0100 (GMT Daylight Time) This is completely irrelevant to the current field of discussion, but I'm writing up my piece for the symposium at the moment, and have just realised that there is a question that I would be interested to hear anyone's opinion on. Its fairly straightforward, so... In Sword Cyriaca tells the story of the lost archive, and states that at some point in the distant past the starfaring dudes left their wild half behind, which was then sold to the thinking machines who incorporated it into their designs for cities etc, etc. Im sure you are all fairly familiar with the passage. What interests me is: What do you interpret this to mean? - or more precisely - what do you think actually happened for these forms of behaviour to be seperated? Like I said, pretty straightforward, but I'd be really interested to hear what anyone has to say. ---------------------- Jim Russell University of Exeter *More Wolfe info & archive of this list at http://www.urth.net/urth/
