Well, it would help to know what it is that travels. :) I can imagine

the outcome of the effect it has than describing what it actually is.)
I'm going to have to think about this, Tina. Clearly you have a real
problem with /abstract/ -- that is, with things that don't have a solid,
concrete "thing" that they refer to. Most of this stuff is like that.
There isn't anything at the core that's solid, so I'll have to explain
it to you by analogy, and analogy always has problems. If you take the
analogy too seriously you can come to wildly wrong conclusions, because
it's only "like" rather than an exact explanation.
Right now I have bookkeeping to catch up on. Sorry. Maybe I'll have some
time this evening to work through it.
Regards,
Ric
