That's fine. But it doesn't directly address the point. Is experience-being-with-other-people really an "attractor" in the sense we usually use that term? I don't think so. I think the normal (complexity fanboi) sense of "attractor" is at least somewhat reductionist/thin/flat and not commensurate with phrases like "experience being with other people".
If we simply decided these things are not attractors, then I think my problem dissolves. On 1/16/19 2:45 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote: > Some people participate in intramural sports or sing in a choir.
