what the sig means

[phil henshaw]

It occurs to me some of you may have wondered but not thought to ask
what ????.?? ? `?.???? means.    
 
It means growth curves show you where and when natural systems are
emerging and connect with the behavioral loops inside that act as a
whole and extend throughout, which are much harder to identify
otherwise.   They're an observer's an entry point.    With close
attention these exposed instrumental mechanisms can be appreciated and
found to usefully differ from many our our ideas of abstract causation
applied to them so far.    In two words, 'look inside'.
