no, I'll actually overlap and end up working for both for abut 1 week... still not sure how that'll work...how can an open system under certain physical conditions (far from equilibrium and fluctuating non-linearly: that is, highly unstable and unpredictable in its changes) spontaneously organize itself at a higher level of complexity, leaping across a statistical bifurcation from apparent chaos into order. These systems "dissipative structures" because they survive in an open exchange of energy with the generally entropic universe in order to dissipate or work off the products of their instabilities. While dissipative structures are bound to take this leap into self-organization (the description of these systems and their changes is deterministic), no one can tell what shape that change will take after the leap (it is unpredictable)...
you know?
