Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Marc, Is there a see-er, a hear-er, a listen-er, a feel-er, a smell-er, a thinker ? Or is there just seeing, hearing, listening, feeling, smelling, thinking etc ? The idea of a witness is to install a separate entity doing all this.
