Hi Jacky, I think you asked this before, but it just popped into my mind again, so I thought I'd take another look. Monz, John de Laubenfels, Joseph, Margo and...

That looks intriguing, Paul. I obviously missed the introduction, but I will certainly have a closer look at this issue. By the way: I finally got to add ...

Thanks a lot. I think my idea of the triadic diagram is clear enough now. And yes, the diagram for the dyads also looks quite plausible. Then my "plausibility"...
