<<<I suspect I'm posting ideas that I am deriving from a benign and vibrant model pained by Greg Bear - >>> I don't know his work. I can't help but think, though, that it's easy to make a benign and vibrant "model." The people who created the Soviet Union, as a matter of fact, had, in their heads, benign and vibrant models.
