Thanks, Amara, sounds like something I'd enjoy reading. The
personality-integration part sounds especially fascinating.

Actually, Prigogine is in a different "group" in the physics dep't at
UT--The Center for Statistical Mechanics. The field of nonlinear
dynamics seems to be very much interdisciplinary--I believe graduate
students can even choose the members of their committees from different
departments.
They're very generous about sharing their publications. Some are
available to download from the web, or they'll even mail printed copies
within the US. Much of the research is beyond my present level of
understanding , but some of it I can follow well enough to use the ideas
for my own purposes.
