Good Afternoon, TP

re: "Perhaps you'll offer a critique: That is often a dangerous request."

I'm not sure why it should be dangerous. The worst that can happen is that someone will describe, with incontestable logic, the error in my reasoning ... and that would be a boon, for it would open corridors of thought I've missed. Objective criticism (as opposed to mindless argument) is a blessing. It's just hard to find.

I've copied The Tragedy of the Commons essay by Garrett Hardin and will read it. I can't comment now because I think complex ideas require digestion.

Thanks for your comments on electronics. That I can't find a direct relationship between them and The Citizenship Tax is undoubtedly a manifestation of my limited grasp. I do think, though, that the field of psychology is also familiar with the phenomenon of feedback. In any case, I've copied the four elements of Feedback Loop Control System. They may be helpful.
