Dear Pedro,

completely agree. The locality question concerns the context of discovery as
well as the context of justification and their mutual relationship. What
emerges as new paradigm is not deterministically predictable (Greek
mathematics and metaphysics + Lull + Pascal + Leibniz + G�del + Turing +
Quantum Physics +.... and then (!?) you get today's digital-informational
view of reality. Amazing, isn't it?
