The Very Idea: Variations of the Trait Ladder

I have decided, for the first time, to post articles in Fudgerylog that were previously posted in Fudgery.net proper, which is fitting since I plan to post articles in Fudgery.net proper that were previously posted in Fudgerylog. Eventually, it may become the routine to post articles first on the Web log before archiving them on the main site for posterity. At any rate, the first article to make the migration from main site to Web log is The Very Idea: Variations of the Trait Ladder.
