This is highly compatable with my emphasis on ecology.  I think that we do
well to look at any organism (including human organism and human self) in
terms of ecological relationships among manifold perceptual control systems
that are in simultaneous operation.

Eventually it would be appropriate for me to explore what such an
ecological examination leads to, but today I can only point vaguely in that
direction.
