This could also be attributed to the potential of the second law, rather than its action which is to find equilibrium as having the generalists being in compliance, while the specialists standPhil Warnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671311338712852659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-37881370342529406732010-03-12T07:32:24.065-05:002010-03-12T07:32:24.065-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil Warnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671311338712852659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-42793474185572930122010-03-11T13:50:32.895-05:002010-03-11T13:50:32.895-05:00You could try specializing in generalizing ;-)
