Dear Marco, thank you very much for the link to that excellent interview at http://people.ucalgary.ca... .
Plain prose for all that must be interested and understand. After all, it is about the ecosystem, the web, that supports all life.
Irrespective of the definition or degree of "harm" our presence and activities might impose on the ecosystem, I now understand how the engineering model might "weight" our presence most heavily, and with the rapid approach of quantum computing, we could account for most variables in survival (actuarial) analysis of a chaotic (mathematical) ecosystem.
