Not that I like to admit it, but I thought Cheney won it last night. On gay marriage and Iraq, the Democrats look like they are talking out of both sides of their mouth (or some other body part). Cheney handled the questions calmly, while Edwards looked like a neophyte boxer swinging wild punches.

===== The real world gives the subset of what is; the product space represents the uncertainty of the observer. The product space may therefore change if the observer changes; and two observers may legitimately use different product spaces within which to record the same subset of actual events in some actual thing. The "constraint" is thus a relation between observer and thing; the properties of any particular constraint will depend on both the real thing and on the observer. It follows that a substantial part of the theory of organization will be concerned with properties that are not intrinsice to the thing but are relational between observer and thing.
