Wade,
I don 't quite see where any performance originates !?
I see where it gets its info once established, but I don 't
see where it all began.....
Where does an original performance orginates if, like I
understand your sheme, ' nature ' has no ' performance ' !?
Nature is/ has to be just there as the origin for the ran-
domizing Darwinian agents out of which eventually culture
results !?
I see that errors and drifts and humans can cause shifts in
the performance its outcome, but I don 't see where a new
performance begins....I don 't have it here about a rehearsel
the second time around or about a replication but about
new ' new ' ones.....
Kenneth
