A bifurcation point is an attractor... like a node or event that looks (on a graph of its mathematics) like a hole in the bottom of a basin.
A dissipative structure (imagine the butterfly effect) tends toward an attractor, which in turn acts like a precipitant or irritant around which crystals begin to form in a supersaturated solution.
Once the crystallization process begins, it will continue as long as the system remains open to more input.

What 'meme' do you suppose fits these descriptions?
And given that variable, is there a benefit to the crystallization?
If not, how do we eradicate the crystallization? (metaphorically speaking of course).

The Senate voted 51-46 to reject a proposal by Sen. John Cornyn (news, bio, voting record), R-Texas, to bar criminals — including those ordered by judges to be deported — from gaining legal status. Democrats siphoned support from Cornyn's proposal by winning adoption, 66-32, of a rival version that would bar a more limited set of criminals, including certain gang members and sex offenders, from gaining legalization.

Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., alone among his party's presidential aspirants in backing the immigration measure, opposed Cornyn's bid and backed the Democratic alternative offered by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.

if you are like that normally and naturally then trying to act extroverted is'nt that ultimately being something that you are not?I mean fair enough an introvert should socialise and be friendly but at the end of the day you can only be you, and nobody can be you but you.

Our neighborhood association (the social entity, not the governing association) is looking to gain recognition as a non-profit organization in Wisconsin. Do you know what is required? We often try to get donations for door prizes and drawings, but find it's difficult when we don't have a tax-exempt donation letter to provide to the businesses. Any assistance is appreciated!

I stay at home now, but before I had my son I worked as a graphic artist for a printing company. I left on good terms and have hoped that I could work for them again on a free-lance basis. Well, they contacted me about doing a job about two months ago. I got the job on friday and turned it in on Monday. They said it looked great and never contacted me about revisions. A few weeks went by and I didn't hear from them, so I called to touch base. They said it had already printed and the customer loved it. I talked to the owner, and he said he didn't have the cash on him to pay me, but that he would get ahold of me the next week and settle up with me. That was a month ago! I know that they have money trouble from time to time, but I did work for them and I know they were paid extra for hiring me. How do i get them to pay me without being rude?

to maintain the religous freedom of ALL faiths (or lack thereof) that we enjoy in the US (and other countries)?

Are you willing to sacrifice having your religious agenda promoted in government so that we may all enjoy religious freedom? How free would even the majority be to practice their religion if laws were enacted to promote it, regulate it, and/or limit it?
