The thesis being that unless we act, the pattern would be of little use and therefore one should be concerned less concerned about how the pattern would be produced. Your comment regarding producing the pattern warrants further treatment. More thought is also required about patterns that we don't easily recognize. Interesting stuff, this. Sophisticated mathematical models and high-speed computers are not required to produce meaningful patterns. Your mention of "...image that BLSCI has incorporated into the invitation for the Symposium this Spring." is an example of this. The symbol for last year's symposium is a pattern that I, despite Mikhail's best attempts at explanation, have never been able to recognize (in the sense of finding the meaning). I very much buy into the notion that new rules for communication are not only required, but need to be accommodated. The younger generation never asked the older generation if SMS was within the rules. Perhaps our views of communication are too tethered by tradition and bias.
