title consideration continues

recent thoughts on titles has brought on a change in thesis title. a small change. the actual head title remains system synthesis and seems to be more and more accurately reflective of my ideas as more work is produced.

fortunately, i've got a colon descriptor option in my thesis title, the second part, which acts as a second explanatory option in the meaning of the work. 

i have been thinking for some time that perhaps a focus on the way in which elements are joined in systems and organisations is required. the way in which nodes are connected is the actual architecture of the organism. 

in greek mythology, hermes is the god that is the messenger. the information flow. the connecting bridge between nodes. metaphorically, hermes is information. he is the electrical charge between firing synapses, the water in rivers and the waves of sub-sonic sound that vibrates when elephants talk across plains.
