I did a paper in college about two children, the boy lived 6 years with a wolf pack. Yes, really, I've seen the research and a girl who was raised in a chicken coop with chickens by two spinster women that didn't want anyone to know about the girl. That one still haunts my dreams. One of my friends has done research into the theory that if a child is not given love and affection before 3 YEARS OLD they are lost forever. No way to find a sense of fairplay or empathy for another human. The wolf boy and chicken girl could not progress thru language and eventually reverted to mostly gestures and sounds. They lived in institutions until their deaths. Biscuit,

And maybe because of that, though cause and effect might be blurred here, a connection with taoism. From there it is a short step to Winnie the Pooh, opf course. :-) I’m more knowledgeable about Navajo thinking processes, but I find a lot of quantum mechanical thought.

I'm not sure what I have on this computer, but I have stacks of it here in boxes and in other hard drives. And, yes, there is nothing like a physicist or a student of physics who discovers a Native American language. :) I have tons on it, but it will take me a while.

I read about a discussion some very well know physicists of the modern age where having about how the Native American mind perceives reality as a continuum of interconnected processes whereas the European mind is obsessed with the speed mass and trajectory of objects. Would that have anything to do with a culture engrossed in perpetual warfare over thousands of years? In you have any other resources you could relate on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. rohaan@mac.com Extremely important knowledge about how our language defines our reality.
