Dan: I hope that when you say the matrix concept is about reasoning by analogy, that you don't mean it's only about reasoning by analogy. For example, my these work involves using knowledge in what I might call a micro-matrix to formulate hypotheses about gene regulation. My work has nothing to do with reasoning by analogy, but I believe it has something to do with what the matrix is about. I believe the matrix will provide the core knowledge for many different forms of scientific reasoning. Some of this reasoning will be performed by people, and some of it will be performed by computers. Nice to see some nonadministrative content on this mailing list for a change... Peter

> Nice to see some nonadministrative content on this mailing list for a > change... Glad to oblige in geting the ball rolling. Peter, I recall your attempt of some time back to talk about your research and commend you for it. Unfortunately few others followed your lead. You, of course, are a computer scientist doing biological applications. Can't some of the biologists on the lists join in the discussions too? -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIONET Resource Manager kristoff@net.bio.net or kristofferson@bionet-20.bio.net
