(After vthe earthquake and the blAst in the nuclear plant)
“Luckily, the wind still points out over the Ocean. I sincerely hope that the winds will continue this direction and Tokyo and other human settlings will be spared.But in the long run, fish will bring back radiation to Japan.”

If a word can be used for an individual as well as a group of those individuals (a class) you have the problem of ambiguity not in the sense of plural and singular, which can be specified by other syntax means, but in th sense of existing or non-existing. We can think of discrete units, finite elements, something to be defined, identified and then counted in terms of its constituents derived either from physical analysis or mental operations. In the first case you get components (other objects) that are in additive relation. In the second case through abstraction you get properties that are in productive relation with each other. In the later case properties do not exist on their own, but in relation to the object only, and when they are multiplied together they as a product are identical with the original object that exists. With an other mental operation however, you can turn such properties into objects that again will have properties through abstraction. So as a result of physical analysis you get objects that exist, and as a result of mental analysis you get properties that do not exist outside that relation (verb, mental operation, abstraction) including the person performing such a mental operation, but who does exist, despite the fact that this is not made explicit in the statement used to expose and share the outcome of such mental operation.

It is written by the EIFFEL consortium in a report recommending that a phased approach in the research must be adopted. Well, I think I am going to post a separate entry with the title:

Reflections on the Hub
