Thanks for your effort. Your description of the two poles,
_emergent_ and _implicit_, do not appear to describe an opposition or
contrast, and thus, for me at least, are of little help in
distinguishing the two posts, especially at a very superordinate
level of abstraction as opposed to the level of simple social
convention. We might say that they are the same pole and in contrast
to one of my posts. That seems fair. If thoughtful persons reach a
little, however, they may find some construct that would make a
relevant distintion between the two that some might regard as more
superordinate, and thus more regnant. I know I can. What about
anyone else?

I would rather construe my correspondence as UNguided as opposed to
misguided, but, of course, you have your own personal way of
construing events. JW

The greatest empiricists among us are only empiricists on reflection:
when left to their instincts, they dogmatize like infallible popes.
