Just a suggestion (not that it necessarily applies to this thread), but recall 
that we are intending to supply metadata in the Subject line as to Track 
addressed by the message.    (01)

In this case, it is multiple tracks, but perhaps the metadata could be 
[engineered-systems], i.e.,

I question the presumption of 'larger system' of which the caterpillar is 
supposedly part.
If the caterpillars doesn't know about it then exactly where did that "larger 
system" come from?
As near as I have been able to discover such 'systems' are 'fignewtons of 
someone's igmentary'
Accordingly, all 'systems' are man-made.    (05)
