Now in answer to your specific questions, Yes Walker read Jaynes, I think at
my recommendation. His reaction was essentially the same with me and the book
group as marcus has indicated.
To the best of my knowledge, his reading of Jaynes antedated his deep
interest in CSP which of course culminated in the Jefferson Lecture and the published
Ketner correspondence. I had forgotten that Jaynes mentions CSP, but it is
possible that even a slight mention may have been the thing that drew Walker's
interest in that direction; his mind worked that way and he would frequently
wander down rabbit tracks for no apparent reason only to be turned on to
something of major interest to him. I do the same thing and our shared willingness to
take such rabbit safaris was one of the bonds we shared. I think Ken Ketner
would have further stories to share on the same point.
