    It might be worth considering the items that work in memory in terms of
    evolutionary history--i.e., the fact that the olfactory sense is
    supposed to be the most "ancient" (exploited by Proust as a metaphor for
    deep memory); surely in our history as barely bipedal hunters color and
    spatiality were important long before words were...

    Dear Colleagues:

    There are so many ideas involved in your writings that I can only refer to
one of them, Willard's comments.

    I find books in the UCLA Engineering-Math Library by some sort of sixth
sense or by semi-semi-ordinary methods, depending on how hard it is to find
the book and how important it is to me to find it.  I would include color
under the semi-ordinary methods.

    I'll have to think about how to describe the sixth sense.  More later, I
hope.

    Cheers

    Osher
