Dear Michael,
 
Indeed; as Alice would have remarked  :"Curiouser, and curiouser",  perhaps 
intuitively. It seems that where time and form (in the broad sense)  
relationships were explored, space and form relationships have been noted;  
serendipity, illusion or noise? 
 
I appreciate Richard's comments on our strange dialogue. Can it be  
otherwise than strange? I can also appreciate Richard's goal of ultimate  and final 
mathematical knowledge, a dream of reason for thousands of  years. But 
rather than the quantities of nature perhaps often we are still  exploring and 
exposing the qualities of nature; time, space, time-space,  organism, etc. 
The history of exploration of formal logic in the last  century should perhaps 
serve as a caution against the hubris of arithmetic, as  indeed should our 
current banking crisis. But these are just intuitive  observations.
 
Croizat placed his works within the frame of an exploration of  substance 
beyond appearance, another dream of reason with deep  roots. Should we only 
allow humankind one dream?
 
Robin
