Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. Ah no, it is formed by isolating two or more instances of the appropriate psychological process, then retaining its distinguishing characteristics (an emotion proceeding from the evaluation of an existent as a positive value and as a source of pleasure) and omitting the object and the measurements of the process's intensity; Whose worth's known, as measurement is the identification of a relationship in numerical terms--and the complexity of the science of measurement indicates the complexity of the relationships which exist in the universe and which exist in the universe and which man has barely begun to investigate. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. With thanks to Michael Ellis and apologies to a certain old-fashioned mystic who proclaimed that you cannot measure love in pounds, inches, or dollars. ucbvax!brahms!weemba Matthew P Wiener/UCB Math Dept/Berkeley CA 94720
