- A more important point lurks here that I shall have cause to return to later: there is a tension in Minsky's accounts of these matters between an emphasis on hierarchical organization (the supreme organizer, or Simon's modular watchmaker would be paradigms of that), and another on heterarchical organization.
- The error is well-ingrained, however: in chapter 5 we look at another famous image of the world's relation to God coined by William Paley, that of a watch to a watchmaker.
- They've fixed it so it's impossible to tamper with it unless you're a ruddy watchmaker or something.

- I have hesitated about including a small section on this sort of material in a volume on book-collecting, since the ephemera umbrella seems to cover an extraordinary variety of objects; including music hall songs, palm prints, cigarette packets, orange wrappers, "peep" eggs, bridge score cards, menus, embroidery patterns, watchmaker's labels, tram tickets and commemorative tins; to say nothing of posters proclaiming the merits of various soaps, female herbal pills, bilious and liver medicaments.
