I am interested to see how tools developed there are utilized and how<br>
such analyses can provide insight into questions of boundary, object,<br>
and identity. I am not sure of many other fields of study where there<br>
is such an explicit emphasis on developing a rich theory of mereology,<br>
and it does not take too much imagination to see that creating such<br>
generalized tools and techniques can be of value to complexity science.<br>
Glen's Wikipedia reference to Barad's agential realism summarizes some<br>
of what I am finding interesting and applicable to the philosophy of<br>
science. There is a distinct deconstructional component to the writing.<br>
I appreciate that the author's approach is not purely deconstruction for<br>
its own sake, but part of a larger project of reconstruction. Discovery<br>
versus construction appears, to me, a difference between science and<br>
engineering. The article appears to offer more to the former. Maybe<br>
amoeba's are altruists.<br>
