Nice discussion.  I have two small points.  Firstly, Paul, unless I've
missed some of the thrust, 'structure' is set up as one of the two straw
pads to launch the discussion of the anomalous in the Becoming plateau. 
Levi-Strauss is mentioned explicitly (my books are elsewhere so I can't
provide a page reference).  I think you are right about the number of
structures but wonder if they haven't been 'structuring' on their way to
Nomadology.  Secondly, Ron, the problematic-question thing is not simply
dyadic but is posed as a problematic-question-solution triad.  I take it
that problematics are virtual, and solutions actual, although I've never
made much sense of a lot of DR; either it or myself are too dense in
differing ways.  Questions then, would be what pass between the series and
enable a dynamic relating.  Not that this explains anything about the
virtual and the actual except their (a?) point of contact.
