lattices/complexity

Thanks, Paul Erlich, for some very clear replies
to my questions.

OK, that partly explains why I'm so lost in this.
I missed a whole lot of TDs around that time.

I'll have to go back and look them up, because I
certainly want to know why you're saying that attributing
importance to the prime-limit of a chord is an 'illusion',
and 'incorrect, albeit a common error'.

Also, your explanation of your use of 'wormholes'
was excellent, but it still left my question partly
unanswered: is 'wormholes' viable as a characterization for
the effect of 'bridges' in the lattice, or would your
use of 'wormholes' rule that out and demand that I use
a different terminology?

The two concepts should have different terminology. I don't know if _my_ use
of wormholes to mean one thing should rule out your using it for something
completely different (i.e., bridges). In fact, maybe we should switch, as
the connections I'm talking about are more like bridges and the things you
call bridges are more like wormholes!
