and as there has been no mention of Richard Merrick here, I thought some of you might be interested in his ideas.

Merrick is simply trying to explore and explain that force that seems to make one chord or structure "want" to resolve/move somewhere else.
Bob is right that Merrick's work is "not the LCC". But since the LCC does not venture into the "why's" of HTG, Merrick's work is probably of interest to this audience.
Link is appreciated.
