Try to find a single real world object and model it. That kind of analysis is not useful. Here is the logical argument. Nothing in the world can be completely logically identified. The rational is very simple. Everything is connected. If I want to completely describe a drop of water, I need to go all the way down to particle physics - you cannot say it is not essential, can you? - and I can go all the way up to cosmology - you cannot say it is not essential either. There is no mathematical and logical boundary for anything. The boundary is set by our cognition and or a machine agent's capability, again set by its designer. But David, please let's not go to that direction, can we? It doesn't help us do anything at all. You can insist on that direction. Nobody prevent you to do that. My re-interpretation of the web architecture, in fact, doesn't deny the possible *existence* of such complete set. So, if you think you can do it. Do it by your means, but it is your burden to educate others, not mime. Really, I don't want to argue for you. I have found this pattern many times through the debate. My model and interpretation is very simple and relaxed and does not exclusive other model. But it seems that I am always asked to debate for others - to ask me to find a perhaps a contradicting evidence. I tried many times to reduce my arguments into a set of multiple choice is that my position is very clear and precise. If you want to establish a different position, it is YOUR burden not MIME to convince it. In your case, use your model to show what is a document, image, a song, a gene, etc. That would be more meaningful. Xiaoshu
