Re: L.F.London - "trying to get my cats to work out an equitable new world
order for themselves so they will share the food bowl and not fight over it"


Isn't that the nature of pattern analysis? Patterning exists at all levels
from the microcosmic to the existentialist. We can decide to try to forcibly
impose one's own chosen pattern upon existing ones. Usually at a high
resource cost, with unexpected consequences, and more often than not,
systemic failure.

Or you can explore and define the nature of existing prevailing patterns. Get
inside of them, walk around them, and then begin tweaking the system to steer
it in the direction you would like it to go. Look for and nurture the
surrounding parasympathetic patternings that will symbioticly support your
tweaked system.

The patterning for your cats reaches far back to ancestral prides stalking
the Serengeti plains, Barbary coast etc. Other parasympathetic patternings
extend back to kittenhood and the conditioning experiences (+ & -) of each
individual cat. Democracy isn't that well thought of in feline politics.

Applying UN sanctions may not bring about peace at the food bowl. Perhaps you
need to reassess the prevailing patterns and restructure the infrastructure
of supply and methodology of food distribution?

Respectfully,

Gaiden
