I note at this get-go that I am writing to those who are participating in the scramble for new controls of meaning that is to be this volume. Perhaps it, and its pressures towards the effective engineering, will reach others. Indeed, slowly it, and its companion volumes, may seed the new culture of the positive Anthropocene age. But the modest aim here is to seed a shift of competence in this volume of the Duffy Exercise.
