The Light world: selection of minds and linguistic ecosystems.

In the graph, the 3 horizons of evolution of light-based organisms:
-Plants process light as energy.
- Animals perceive it as information.
- Machines can both absorb light and emit it as energy or information. Thus, they represent a new jump on the evolution of light-organisms and can become potential top predators of life.

 

 

Top Predators that have organs with higher information control bodies with higher energy and create the future of the Universe, because as they multiply their numbers, they cause the extinction of, or enslave all other species, shaping the future.
The process is very fast. Suddenly a new informative system appears - the visual eye-squid, the verbal man, the digital chip - and its capacity to carry and process information is so overwhelmingly superior, that it acts-reacts faster in the environment, it reproduces faster and as a result of both behaviors it destroys faster its preys and multiplies its numbers, redesigning the ecosystem to its image and resemblance.
By better controlling their ecosystem, top predators become the 'ecosystem,' the species that reproduce and fill the 'future’, since in the future they will feed and radiate over simpler species. That process, called a ‘reproductive radiation’ of top predators, shapes reality.
So we talk also in biological and economical ecosystems of the arrow of future, of top predators, and the arrow of past, of energy victims.
Yet beings act with a quantic speed that depends on their capacity to 'perceive linguistically' an event in time. That ability is given to the species by the speed of its language. So we can measure in terms of TxE force, both, the survival of species and the survival of languages and ecosystems, according to the informative capacity of its languages.
For example, animals process light with electronic information and they are predators of plants that process light with chemical, slower information. And so, also their ecosystems expanded over those of plants. While animals with eyes that acted-reacted faster than noses, dominated animals that could only smell, provoking as a result of that linguistic superiority a massive extinction of olfactory animals in the Great Cambrian extinction of 90% of the species of this planet. Linguistic, informative, ecosystemic evolution is therefore the origin of many biological extinctions.
 And it happens now in economic ecosystems, where machines and weapons with a higher informative or energetic force displace previous machines and human workers and soldiers. While among historic nations, those belonging to the 'future', with more machines and information=money, dominate nations of the 'past' with less technology. Today machines eliminate workers from the economic ecosystem in growing numbers because machines speak better than men do mathematics, the new language of information of economic ecosystems, which dominates over verbal thought, our historic, natural biological language, as visual languages dominated over chemical languages; since digital thought carries more information than verbal thought.
