• Flow (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)is being described
  as being completely involved in an activity for
  its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies.
  Every action, movement, and thought follows

  jazz.Jazz improvisation as flow...the music
  will work itself...goes into
  autopilot...stream of consciousnessB..J.

• A Collaboratory is a 'center without walls' in
  which the nation's researchers can perform their
  research

• sharing data and computational resources,
• and accessing information in digital libraries.
