Scott, anyone who knows what the word "paradigm" means can surely
understand what I am saying. The model is a standard decay curve found
everywhere in nature from a plot of nuclear half lifes to the number of
balls left on a pool table to the ratio of principle and interest in
your mortgage payment over time to the shape of a conch shell spiral,
etc. It is coincidence in this case , but serves quite well as a
skeletal shape from which we can work to improve the decompression via
some of the tricks we are disucsing here.

 Let's work that way, and forget trying to pidgeonhole decompression
into a neat litle package. I can do it, but it is not going to teach you
a damm thing. Let's keep is flowing here and work on it some more.
