Clusterf**k ?
Oops, sorry, I was thinking of Trump. Also it’s after 5 on a Friday
here on the east coast.

Bah! If you are, as I am, a post-modernist, explanatory power reduces
to evocative power. Whatever I can do to evoke a predictable response
in the audience is adequate. Although I count myself a fan of
Wittgenstein's STFU approach, I can't deny the power of those who just
never STFU. (Witness the interminable chants at the various pro-this,
anti-that rallies.) It's a kind of hypnosis ... a droning on and on
until you win over your audience with tone and rhythm more so than
content.
But w.r.t. Zweigneiderlassung, I'm currently enthralled with McShea
and Brandon's concept of the ZFEL and "pure complexity", which (in my
ignorance) disallows reliance on "branching" as a core concept.
Simple counting seems more appropriate, especially since that makes
sense to most people. I admit that McShea and Brandon seem to be
relying fundamentally on some implicit spatial sense. But perhaps
that's OK in this context?
