[-empyre-] whose "our systems"

[John Hopkins]

Hei folks --

As a gadfly, I'd point you to a short text excerpted from my dissertation that 
proposes a novel definition of the 'virtual' or 'virtuality'. It may be 
demonstrated as directly connected with last months sonic (energy!) explorations.

That might however require more of a discussion than I can afford to engage in 
in the moment, unfortunately -- I'm rebuilding a small house in the mountains of 
central Arizona with the aim of reducing the GHG energy footprint...

The discussions so far are going far too fast for me to make cogent 
contributions. I was on empyre years ago but left after a couple years, then a 
colleague told me about last months discussion which was right down my area of 
work, so I re-subscribed, but wasn't able to contribute much to a dialogue.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw it out there ... The definition (model) addresses a 
number of the problematic issues around the use of the word -- formost in my 
mind, virtuality's indelible link to the digital, and because of this, the vague 
historical sourcing/usage of the term.
