RE: Patton - A Little Help Here?

What is widely known but always ignored is the fact that William Ashbee Tritton was an doodler, around his preliminary drawing of the Tritton Track can be found drawings of a front page and detail description of what he called 'an encyclopedia for all'. In 1943 he visited Alan Turing at Bletchley Park, Hollywood, to discuse how his idea could be integrated with the Bombe computer. He was somewhat miffed that Patton was also visiting Alan Turing at the same time, to polish Turins Colt .45. This has caused a��deal of� argument amongst historians�about the originator of Wikipedia, Tritton or Patton.�

No room for doubt, is there? Individually and collectively, "as mad as cut snakes," as my dear old Nanny would say.

Fancy that. The Wikipedia article on Estienne gives as a reference the article on him on a site called Histoire du Monde. Histoire du Monde gives its reference as Wikipedia.

That would be the pared-to-the-minimum, closed cycle version of the citation model. It follows inexorably that the information must always have existed by divine decree, so there is nothing more to be thought about it. Certainly no "chicken and egg" type paradox is suggested since paradox is merely an artifact of imperfect human understanding/intellect. I'm glad that's sorted out.

If only there were more cases like this then restless minds would find their repose at last, in the perfect predestination of a well-ordered and compliant universe. Mind you, I feel a niggling discomfort somehow. Must be that imperfect human understanding/intellect kicking in again. Oh, to be as a God, all certainty and free from such torments.
