It's in the Preface of the paper describing the work to which I've given my
life. I've got a self-contained hypertext doc that runs under DOS/Windows, "On
the Automation of Knowing within Central Nervous Systems" (AoK). If you want a
copy, post a note or send me an email, and I'll send it to you... then read
the Preface.

This particular "challenge" was from someone with an online persona not-unlike
yours. I just didn't take it seriously because when I got the paper out of the
stacks, it was obvious that the "challenger" had sought out the
most-meaningless paper he could find... it fairly broke my "Heart" to see such
a paper published when what's in AoK would not be published... and that's how
I "dealt" with that particular "challenge"... what does one do when confronted
with meanspiritedness? I just "lick my wounds", and move on... Free Will
Exists on both "sides" of every Q. If folks say, "Well, see there... he didn't
take that challenge seriously. He must be a B. S. artist.", and shove my work
into that "pigeon hole", that's their Choice. The article that the
"challenger" Chose was his Choice.
My Choice is to spend my energy doing work, not "dancing" to the tune of
meanspiritedness.

It was something akin to a neural "appendix"... vestigial, and to reach the
"level" at which anything I'd say with respect to it would be at-all
meaningful within NDT's synthesis, I'd've had to've written a Neuroanatomy
text in the online forum where I was then discussing things... and folks were,
then, already saying that I was posting "too many msgs"... how could I have
fit a Neuroanatomy text into that?
The whole circumstance is preserved in the archives I keep, and will, I
expect, one day become Public. I'd give it to you here, but because my home
was being broken into, I moved my personal copies of the archives off-site. I
won't access them in this matter. Think what you will.

My work either integrates, and Unifies, everything within them, or shows how
it's in error.

Not unless someone else has done such... I've been thinking of takeing the
CDROM route.

I've thought about it. Always seems too self-agrandizing.
Eric, all my papers have been out-there for at least a decade. AoK and Why
circulate freely in their electronic forms. The papers I self-published
earlier are either out-there, or tossed... I spent everything I had in
producing them. I've control only over what I Choose to do. Beyond that, I
Guard Free Will, most-often with Enormous-Sorrow.

Well, just speaking with respect to your interaction, I've done an analysis,
and it shows that you're not being Forthright with me... and I Choose not to
co-operate with such.
Look, the stuff of all the personal Qs your asking doesn't matter. I
fully-disclosed myself two decades ago, in order to Protect the folks with
whom I was interacting. Doing such is Agonizing. If you're "curious" about
only "me", take out an ad searching-out those folks, and ask them to let you
satisfy your "curiosity". I've fulfilled my Obligation to Truth with respect
to the stuff of your "curiosity". I don't "owe" anyone anything in that way.

I'm mostly self-educated... Physical Science was my "First Love"... it's easy
to Embrace that which you Love... "The books are the same in all places."

All my work is "published". Find it and read it... these days, I'm moving-on
with what needs to be done.
Forgive me, but your "demands" are just real-laugher-stuff to me, Eric. K. P.
