another. Do you see what I mean? (George) This flowchart
called
a perfect biological cure for this application
Not
that its interests are necessarily going to be relegated to the preparatory
application. So let's put it in the applications for just a while. Say that we
to in column II and come out and get over into column I and come out and get
back over into column III and end up in our phylogical box. We can still get
out of this same exit back over to column I, cycle around like use the machine
results that we find
interesting to us, returning these results back into the machine
and so forth and cycling it this way. Use this process
to develop a phylogy if that is what you are interested in. Without ever
assuming to know anything more about phylogy than when you do at the time mf the
computer machine is actually operating. I think this is sort of the attitude
that this flowchart is trying to put forth, rather than relegating

(Dave)
Is that understandable?/ Well it is to me, but it may not be so in the case of
the rest of them. Does that answer your question, Craig? (Craig)Pretty much.
My main interest here is that for a year now it has been sort of pounded into
me that what we are interested in in taxonomy is figuring out evolutionary
development of the flora of the world, from starting from the most primitive
thing along up through the ages figured how plant a is
related to plant b and judging from this isn't
necessarily that important. The main thing we are interested in is figuring
out a scheme pf identifying plants or arranging plants for whatever purpose you

want, economic purposes, etc./ It is usually pointed out that there is no
uniquely determined classification. The classification should serve the purpose
of the individual who is doing it, primarily. And all that you would be
