Comments
In early Spring 1985 the first comprehensive paper on RFT was presented at ABA. This is a version of that paper. The basic bones were drafted before the convention in 1985 (it even refers to plans to present the paper above in a footnote) but this version though must have been reworked in late 1985 or early 1986 because I went to Nevada in Fall of 1986 and I already knew I was going before producing this print out.
It never saw the light of day in this form. It is being posted for historical reasons.

Many of the ideas in modern RFT are in this paper, but those knowledgeable in RFT can easily see that the ideas are somewhat undeveloped or slightly off.
