    Bob,

    Something about a loop I love... maybe it's just that nothing ends.



    Lanny,

    Well...

    Are we talking here about the author Ethem who is a computer engineer and an expert on Machine Learning?

    Simulated mammalian neural networks?

    Vegetation affected by mammalian-induced climate change? Destruction and chaos on your island of Rota in the Northern Marianas after Supertyphoon Pongsana ?

    Interesting reflection. It is a give and take, although some are much more pleasant than others.

    Take care Tom

    It's actually an old word for breath:

    [Com. WGermanic: OE. \ðm, éðm, cogn. w. OFris. êthma, OS. áðom (Du. adem), OHG. âtam (MHG. âtem, Ger. athem), f. Teut. root *%þ-, OAryan *Ut- to breathe.]

    Vapour, breath.

    Beowulf 2593 (Gr.) Hreðer æðme weoll. a1000 Cædmon's Christ & Satan (Gr.) 704 Hu sid se swarta eðm [swol-] seo. c1175 Lamb. Hom. 43 Heore eþem scean swa deð þe leit a-monge þunre.

    Lanny,

    There lingers breath yet then in this ethereal thing Author?

    Thou hast put me in mind of the tale of the ninja thane Agon in a dustup with a Sea of Lava.

    The thought vegetation thinks Agency when it clamps its glims upon that action.

    I quote from the Orthodoxy.

    The O'Dazzle
    Deh azzle meh wazzle yeh hazzle cuz et the beh deh weh!!!!!

    By gob's breath then I would wish to author many a further ethem with thee. Ethernet willing.
