Can someone offer a citation for Mill's "spontaneous order of nature?"  
  
On the earlier point that spontaneous order always relies on a   
background of central planning, I'd offer the counterexample of the   
natural languages, which are spontaneously ordered phenomena which   
require no conscious cultivation or supervision at all.
