Thinking about it. Keep realizing that I'm =ot Hilbert, and linguistics isn't 20th century math. The excitin= problems I can think of are either too far from current understanding, or=too theory-internal for the general significance to be easily perceived.

Meanwhile, ran across a nice definition of "power," t=inking about an earlier letter that you may have forgotten. From Han= Morgenthau: Power in the international context is "that untamed and =arbaric force which finds its laws in nothing but its own strength and its=sole justifi cation in its own aggrandizement."
