True, but isn't the model that an environment (or probably more appropriately, an environment group) is invariant? Saying that it has an initial state gives the impression that this state may change, whereas the model is to create a whole new environment group to reflect any evolution in the environment group. In that case, it would be better to say that there is an initial environment group. 4890 1 simeon 2005-07-19 17:19:31 +0000 I believe this is editorial. - Jerome 9251 2 simeon 2006-04-15 22:52:54 +0000 Removed the confusing usage of 'initial state' to rely on 'initial environment, as suggested. - Jerome
