ANNOTATION:
Uncessary 'rather'

Citation Yours: "We believe that the fundamental
stuff of being, the essence of the universe, 
consists of elementary processes or actions, rather
than matter, energy or ideas". 'rather'?? Why must
 only *one* conceptualisation be correct? Isn't that
an alltoo human conclusional shortcut similar to
the Light-as-Waves vs. Light-as-particle
interpretations, who both became valid. That's a
kind of mental oversimplification that sometimes
waste a lot of our time by us quarreling the obvious.
Isn't it clear that Universe is both objects and
interactions and of course the fundamental global
effects as described by Cybernetics?
