interlude

yeah, it's been awhile since i last posted, and the main reason has been that the scope of my ideas has been too large to do justice to in blog form, and even too extensive in a non-blog form since the amount of reading and research required to elaborate my ideas would be beyond my present capabilities. however, thinking about some of these new ideas has caused me to reevaluate some of my earlier ideas on this blog, and i've realized that some of these ideas were incorrect or did not quite hit the mark. so, the next few entries will be devoted to clarifying and cleaning up these old ideas, and then from there we'll see what direction the blog takes.
