MarshalPlan 5.5

I have created - with the critical but now long-past inspirational and technical contribution of David A. Schum - a prototype, or an interactive sketch, of an evidence marshaling app for evidential discovery and proof in legal settings.

I call the current iteration of this app "MarshalPlan 5.5" You can download this app for use on a Windows computer by  going to http://tillers.net/MarshalPlan.5.5/ and opening the subfolder "Windows" and then clicking on MarshalPlan 5.5exe (NOT MarshalPlan.5.5exe).

• Apple Corporation seems to strip this exe file of its ability to run on Apple computers. Sorry!

 I think that one of of my most interesting MarshalPlan stacks (files) is "Legal Argument."

The following "cards" in the Legal Argument "stack" (file) illustrate how a traditional legal treatise writer might think (in part) about legal interpretation:

fMRI & Neurobabble

Steven Poole, Your brain on pseudoscience: the rise of popular neurobollocks, New Statesman (Sept. 6, 2012):
The human brain, it is said, is the most complex object in the known universe. That a part of it “lights up” on an fMRI scan does not mean the rest is inactive; nor is it obvious what any such lighting-up indicates; nor is it straightforward to infer general lessons about life from experiments conducted under highly artificial conditions. Nor do we have the faintest clue about the biggest mystery of all – how does a lump of wet grey matter produce the conscious experience you are having right now, reading this paragraph? How come the brain gives rise to the mind? No one knows.
