Errata and Comments
2013-02-01 ~ Theo: page 5: regarding autopoesis, I find Deacons's dismissal of the theory to be so curt, that I fail to grasp its meaning.
2013-01-13 ~ Theo: Wikipedia seems to have a slightly different version about Lucretius being the original source for ex nihilo nihil fit.
2013-01-13 ~ Theo: Among the many well-known golems that Deacon does not mention, one of my favorites is the Sorcerer's Apprentice. There are many tellings of this tale: Goethe's being the canonical version but the episode in [Fantasia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorcerer%27s_Apprentice_(Dukas\)) is perhaps the most loved.
2013-01-21 ~ Theo ~ Page 108: There's a bit of jump in the thought process that I don't really follow: From paragraph ending on the Second law being a tendency but not a necessity. First sentence next paragraph jumps to time reversal appearing implicit, also Aristotle's 'final cause'.
2013-01-13 ~ Theo: Contraints is a difficult topic. It moght be a good thing to draw up a list of example constraints...
2013-01-13 ~ Theo: page 185 ~ Why is the word 'Scholastic' capitalized? Ditto page 375 and 550?
Interpretation
2013-01-13 ~ Theo: in my Kindle version the final 't' is missing in the word 'thought' in the title of this section.
