Cool!!  Does that mean that the non-possesive article now makes sense as 
well?  I did not quite have a handle on that until this little exercise came 
to me to do.  THEN, of course, its presence is perfectly and obviously 
correct.

>But it does not necessarily support your claim that

It does, but that is another topic.  I am just glad that I have gotten as 
far as this for now!!  The key to centers seems to be the tension produced 
by the unidentified descriptive words, and you much they integrate, and how 
the thought process moves from center to center.  There is much yet to look 
at in this regard.
