Now I can't find this phrase on the Web, or even Usenet, please tell me where this term is used. Perhaps it is a new scientific term? Please provice cites.
Apologies: typo. The term is homeorheic - will fix
Good use of sources, 24. Thank you. Ed Poor
Perhaps you meant to say homeorhetic? The Anome ---
Yup, I had a typo of a typo. Whee. OK, this is almost right now. Thanks for hte patience.
as far as I understood, "Gaia Theory" is Margulis's version among several Gaia theories. Hence "Margulis's version of Gaia Theory" is redundant. user:anthere
- Since general "Gaia theories"/"Gaia theory" (note lowercase t) are already mentioned earlier (i.e. non-Margulis "Gaia theories", I don't think that it is necessarily clear that to a reader (since it's easy to miss noticing the capital "T") that it's Margulis' version that we are talking about. In fact, I think the whole article would be better renamed to "Gaia Theory (Lynn Margulis)" so that it is immediately clear from the article title that we are talking about her "Gaia Theory" as opposed to somebody else's "Gaia theory", or rename "Gaia theory" to something else. Having two pages with only a capitalization difference can easily lead to confusion. Lexor 21:32 Apr 25, 2003 (UTC)
