To Theodora Hodges, Patrick Wilson, M.E. Maron, William Cooper, and Bertrand Augst, I offer my thanks for instilling a concern for fundamental problems and for firing passion for the multifaceted entity of human representation and discourse. To the many researchers in mathematics, management, philosophy, computer science, and art upon whom I have drawn quite liberally, I say thank you. To my mentors and the researchers both known and unmet I offer apologies for drawing bits and pieces and cobbling them together in sometimes rather rough ways. I can only hope that the final product will speak well to your influences. I am honored to stand on your shoulders and gladly acknowledge that mistakes and misrepresentations are my own doing.

The fine people at Libraries Unlimited were most gracious in their accommodation of my idiosyncrasies and extraordinarily capable in their tasks. I give my special thanks to Kim Dority and Steve Haenel. References Rezendes, Paul. How to Read Animal Tracks and Signs. Camden House Publishing, 1992.
