Interesting theorems and postulations you have there, but I think that the progression of human reasoning has only complicated the overall equation into becoming the most destructive living species in this solar system. The BF way of life is much simpler and to the point, they've obviously been able to maintain an established social structure that's enabled them to survive amongst mankind for thousands of years. The BF are able to provide for themselves based on necessity, they've learned to become one with the forest, these "masters of their environment" leave minimal traces of their existence. Perhaps through observation and interaction with the Early Americans, did they develop a knowledge for constructing temporary shelters in the "hut style" when seasonal conditions depleted the natural camouflaging foliage. We already know that they have systems of communication through vocals and other objects such as wood and rocks, a familial hierarchy, and a territorial respect for each other that doesn't require fences. Perhaps it's man that needs to lighten up with all of his categorizing and continuous revisions with the "rules of engagement" in regards to societary functioning, how will we end up saving us from ourselves?... Through our allegedly superior deductive reasoning and cognitive aptitude, we're stagnating our development as a world community with redundant bureaucracy. I think that the best rule for now is to keep it simple, and someday we all may get a clue... Enough for now, take it easy and talk to you all later.
