Hi Pieter,

Your message was just forwarded to me. Actually, the paper was
published in FOP. It was initially rejected, and then accepted by
another journal. Due to a long wait before publication (over a year)
and paper charges I hadn't been aware of beforehand though, I withdrew
it and resubmitted to FOP. It was subsequently accepted and published
in August last year. Looking at your e-mail address, one of the
referees actually came from your institution.

In respect to the paper, I actually just got back this morning from a
conference at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where I
presented a summary of it, and then others presented papers on its
implications for mathematical modelling and quantum mechanics. It was
particularly pleasing for me, as I feel that the paper has been crying
out for just that (further application to QM etc). I was also very
happy with what came out of it.

Best wishes

Peter

PS: I just had a look at some old posts on this newsgroup about the
paper and I, and some of them are very ill informed. It's a bit
disappointing, as just a little bit of research or a little more
thought was all that was required.
