Dear Lois-

Thanks for the post. Very thoughtful of you to keep in touch. Glad to
hear you are investigating new arenas. I read "The Dancing Wu Li
Masters" a few years ago, so I may have some appreciation for a little of
what you're into. Maybe you could give us another report or two here,
especially as you see it has implications for our interests.

Incidenally, do the quantum folks still hold that Heisenberg was
correct when he observed that 'the act of observation tends to alter that
which is observed'? Does that Principle of Uncertainty mark, also, some
sort of conscious beginning of Postmodernism?

Best wishes, Gary
