Excellent!  The elab and illus are from chapter 3 of Bruce Mazlish's _The
Fourth Discontinuity: The Co-Evolution of Humans and Machines_ (New Haven:
Yale UP, 1993).  http://shr.stanford.edu/shreview/4-2/text/mazlish.html  It
even has King Mu. Thanks!

For a little more on the Koan question mentioned on MD 22, with an answer
usually attributed to Chao-Chou (Joshu, 778-897CE) but at least once to the
dog, see this site on theology, by a dog,
http://www.giveme.com/mandoa/theology.html and these sites, by some people:

Does "mu" (Japanese pronunciation of Chinese "wu"?) mean "no" or "nothing"
("without," "lacking"?), or is it a kind of negation sign ("not," "nay,"
"Moo!"?) applied to the very question?
