At what point can we speak of "the superorganism" as an entity? The crucial boundary is called a "metasystem transition" which is a transition from one order of organization to a higher order of organization. ...

Only geniuses can understand rdf. Even the cool brains at PyCON 2004 said this stuff is too hard! |
