Holland's new book (was Re: Category theory)

[Theodore C. Belding]

Sorry, Glen, I haven't read Rosen. :)

Regarding the original topic of "Formalization of the Artificial Life
Systems", I thought I'd mention that John Holland has a book coming out on
a related topic:

Holland, J. H. (forthcoming, January, 1998). Emergence: From Chaos to
Order. Addison-Wesley. ISBN 0-201-14943-5
http://www.awl.com/gb/authors/holland/emergence.html

In this book, Holland proposes "constrained generating procedures" (CGPs)
as a formal framework for studying emergence.
