Re: is SIP an Emergent Property

Nice work, Mittie. Did I ever think to point out that double entry 
bookkeeping tends toward the artform?

Where science focuses natural phenomenon, bookkeeping focuses intellectual 
phenomenon, which the Chines name "dao." Science versus art is typical of 
yin versus yang: science, as yin, tests its truth objectively, as a measure 
of phenomenon; art, as yang, tests its truth subjectively, as an expression 
of knowledge.

Art is their for individual's willing to pay the price; it is not 
vicariously learned. Thanks again, Mittie, you have enabled a reply to 
Dossy's message that better reflects my experience.
