Rick,

I'm in, too.  Special request: Don't skimp on the definitions.  My math
background has made me used to a definitions/axioms/theorem ordering.  And =
I
find that with good semantic grounding, I can usually climb Mount Esoterica=
.
You might start with "Freedom."  No one has mentioned whether it's a
concept, a practice, a book, or a product.

Rick,

I'll certainly pick up your gauntlet. I'm sure I'm not alone in this group
in my experience that during my career I've been required to pickup some
pretty esoteric subjects simply from reading. There is often a training
budget but it is always limited and if the money isn't the limit then the
time away from productive work is the limitation. So fire away. I'll try to=

wrap my mind around it.
