An Old mystery ...

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Thank you Brunians. I look forward to reading the Hamlet's Mill book you linked to.  I find this territory fascinating.  And problematic, because of the flattening out to a mechanistic cosmos reading that most people take from this sort of speculation/research, which is of course why I brought it up.
