Summer hibernation

This blog was a device to help a sabbatical study along. That study is now more or less over and enters a stage where anybody and everybody is free to comment on its modest results. I would be grateful if any passing bloggers felt they wanted to add their bit.
You will find the short paper by clicking the Concept link on the right, but please place any comments back on this site.
After the summer, perhaps there may be enough of a mood out there for someone to take this thing further.
