<confession>I haven't read Minsky</confession>, but a number of great minds
have extended this model to great effect, from the General Semanticists to
Leary and R.A. Wilson. I don't recall any of them applying anything like
an economic model to the interaction between "parts." If Minsky does that,
it sounds hella kewl to me.

great undertaking of the Enlightenment complete;
but the Beyond *inside* us has become a new heaven
and calls us to renewed heaven-storming.
