Bill, I am trying to work my way through LCS-I now and have a few questions  
as I progress. I realize that possibly some of these questions may have  
been answered in other reading or even here on the net since I started  
following same... however, if not too involved I would appreciate your  
addressing these (or at least steering me in the right direction).

In Part-II/Conflict Theory:

You mention "virtual-reference" level. Is there a known mechanism for  
this? I am having trouble visualizing how two references can be applied to  
the same control loop.

Has any experimental work been possible with the idea of multiple control  
systems for the same function (ie: The "older" control loop mentioned in  
Part-II/Conflict Theory).

I think I am missing something here or at least this makes me think that I  
am missing something somewhere... I presumed that the N-system is the  
reorganizing function. If so, then are you saying the reorganizing system  
is susceptable to volitional activation?

Probably more later... thanks,
