Yes you are. You've been a bad boy, Dave, and you must be spanked.
And you're right, too. But I would offer that by bumping the system every
time it jells (autocatalyzes), sending it into another basin of
attraction, then another and another and so on, it may be possible, over
time, to autocatalyze a meta-system emerged from the set of autocatalytic
basins.
