In William Calvin's book The Cereberal Code one gets the impression that
thoughts (memes) communicate by Darwinian evolution and could conclude that
there is little value in building gates that represent an individual
mentality and that neither of the foregoing arguments is broad enough to
explain outcomes of communication.
My question remains: "Does the term 'existing complements' cover all the
time domain in which the development of finite differences takes place?"
