  my impression is that in all three - gr, v & m&d - the upcoming wind is 
  related to the rise of modernity.

  maybe the missing link is here the "digital storm", trp names in the intro to 
  "stone junction" (p. xii). 

  though this seem to refer directly only to the consequences of the 
  "microelectronic revolution", the fact of digitalization is relevant for 
  modernity as such. its generalized communication media, most prominent and 
  effective: money, but also power, truth and maybe some more, are all based on 
  binary codes. either you pay or you pay not. tertium non datur. 

  this can easily be connected to the 'cognitive' quality of the element air. 
  the ill wind is full of evil sylphs ...

  just freestylin': kai /: ps: yes terrance, it was the wind that brought 
  mondaugen from v to gr.
