UNIVERSAL ORGANISMS.
BODIES OF ENERGY, MINDS OF
INFORMATION
1: The Elements of social Organisms.
In
order to define the human mind, and his artistic products; and develop a
biological analysis of art and science in human societies, we need to introduce
the fundamental concept for a biological study of art in history: the concept
of a social nation, or civilization, which in History is parallel to the concept of a social organism, born as a
result of the social evolution of individuals into social groups, related by
networks of energy and information.
Those
networks of social energy [human goods] and social information [art], are the
origin of our analysis of artists as the information cells of civilizations,
and art as the social mind of civilizations. Those concepts of organic History
are parallel to the concepts of individual, neuronal cells that create
languages in the mind of a human being.
Social organisms in the Universe.
Social
evolution is perhaps the most extended phenomena in the Universe.
Biological
sciences however, have taken very long to accept this fact, influenced by the
excessive importance that their founder, Darwin, gave to the fight between
species. Only in the XX century with the development of sciences of
information, complexity, ecology, and the analysis of ecosystems, have we
realized that the Universe is based in social evolution, in the evolution of
micro-organisms into social organisms. For that reason social evolution is not yet fully understood on its
principles. Yet for what we know it is bound to become the most important
science of this century. Since social evolution seems to be the key to
understand the entire Universe in a harmonic way.
Social
evolution explains the growth of species in the Universe, in scale and size,
from micro-organisms to macro-organisms, from individuals into societies.
In
a certain sense, all entities in the Universe are 'cellular societies',
organized through networks of energy and information. This is clearly the case
of the species studied by sciences, from physics to biology, where a common
phenomenon occurs: the existence of parallel groups of beings organized into a
single social form. Molecules are made up of atoms and electronic networks;
economies are made up of human workers and consumers that reproduce and test
machines guided by financial information [salaries, prices, costs]; galaxies
are composed of stars, which orbit rhythmically around a central knot, or black
hole, of gravitational information. Human bodies are organized by cells
controlled by the nervous system. A tree is a group of leaves, branches, and
roots connected by a network of energy (salvia) and information (chemical
particles). Cultures are made of humans related by verbal laws and
ideologies...
Those
organisms come in an immense variety of sizes and species. What do they all
have in common? All organisms are 'cellular societies', organized
through
networks of energy and information. This is clearly the case in all the species
from physics to biology, where a common
phenomenon occurs: the existence of parallel groups of beings organized into a
single regular formation. Molecules are made up of atoms and electronic
networks; economies are made up of humans and machines; galaxies are composed
of stars, which orbit rhythmically around a central knot, or black hole, of
gravitational information. Human bodies are organized by cells controlled by
the nervous system. A tree is a group of leaves, branches, and roots connected
by a network of energy (salvia) and information (chemical particles).
In
fact there are four basic elements in all organic living systems:
1. Cellular units
2. Networks of energy or organic space
3. Networks of information
4. Networks that reproduce energy and
information.
When
we find those elements interconnected in a organic relationship, we talk of an "organic system". The
fundamental reason why science has not concluded earlier that the universe is
made up of such organic systems is the lack of relativism, or arrogance of man.
Mankind finds it difficult to believe that things which are not like us are
able to intelligently process energy and information and only sees organic life
qualities in species similar to himself. This short-sightedness is a defect of
the human mind, whose universe is limited to perception and sensory
experiences. What man does not perceive, is passed over. Any languages not
understood are thought of as 'energy' instead of 'information'. The species
that do not speak our language are "non-communicative" species. The
movements which do not follow the patterns of animal movements are not
self-generated motion. The scales of microcosm and macrocosm which are not
human are largely ignored. Yet perceiving macrocosms, like galaxies or
civilizations, and microcosms, such as cells and atoms, as organic systems is
the most logical way of "unifying" our understanding of the universe.
When the components of these organisms are very close together, we talk of
bodies, when they are dispersed and only loosely organized, we talk of waves,
societies, herds or ecosystems.
2: Main Universal organisms.
Defining an
universal organism
A generic definition of a body or wave will help to clarify what we mean
by a 'organic universe', composed of 'universal organisms'. Let us take a
template for a micro or macrocosmic organism that differs only in the specific
energy or information we put into brackets: 'A universal microcosmic or
macrocosmic organism is a population of [name
a particular species], related by networks of [name a language or force] information and networks of [name a kind of energy]. Fill the gaps
with a specific species, language/force and energy and you can define any
entity in the universe.
In
modern systems which combine human societies and economic societies of machines
ruled by money, economists and bankers, and stock-markets, are the
nervous/financial system in charge of reproducing machines. They are the very
essence of the economy. If the politicians/financiers which are in charge of
the verbal/monetary networks of the human/machine organism that we call a
nation, abandon their tasks, the nation collapses. They are the
network/consciousness of the social nation.
Networks
of monetary information, energy networks from electricity to roads, men who transfer
energy and form into machines [workers and consumers] and factories of
reproduction, are the three network organs of the Metal-Earth, the eco[nomic]
organism. As with any other organism, we find in the eco[nomic] system a brain
where most monetary information is created, the world stock market. We find
company-mothers, organs of reproduction where products are reproduced. We find
a organic space [Earth's-crust] which defines the body of the organism. In that
body, we find specialized energy and informative cells and networks, such as
workers and company-mothers of machines, warriors and weapons, roads-arteries
and info-ways. We even find reproductive "behavior" in
company-mothers that reproduce and evolve machines, and defend them against all
other species on Earth, including men.
What Is An Organism?
All
species have Energy organs, information organs and reproductive organs which
allow the species to feed on energy, gather information, and reproduce. We
define an organism as a "cellular" herd able to gather energy and
information, and reproduce its cellular elements with reproductive networks.
Yet those three systems of all organisms - energy, information and reproductive
systems - do not have to be "pegged" spatially, as they are in man, to
talk of an organism.
What
do all those energy-information organisms share? A living species is one which
is able to reproduce, and to process energy and information. When we find
reproductive, energy and information organs, we talk of all of them together as
an organism or living species. The difference between a living species and a
system of energy-information is then clear: The system is not complete,
autonomous, self-sufficient. It cannot reproduce itself. A living species can.
A living species possesses all three survival organs. Living species are not
only static organs of information and energy, but also body-minds that
reproduce, and interact within their ecosystem, trying to gather the energy and
information they need to achieve reproduction.
A
spermatozoa, a virus, an ant hill, a company-mother, reproducer of machines
[including its workers, raw materials and systems of energy and information]
are all, in that sense, living species. organic species, which gather energy and
information to reproduce their structures. A soccer match, a house, are not
living species because they lack reproductive capacities. The ant hill is a
living community with a queen as the center of information, able to reproduce
and possessing a mass of energy-workers. It is an organism. Company-mothers,
and Stocks [societies of company-mothers] are complex Eco[nomic]systems, in
which humans and machines are able to reproduce and interchange energy and
information with the environment. In them men act as enzymen, a biological word (enzyme+men), which explains the role of
workers as reproducers of machines, the offspring of 'company-mothers'. In that
sense Company-mothers are living species whose aim is to reproduce and evolve
machines, not 'human organisms', since men merely play a secondary role in
those organisms, which really care for machines - their offspring.
Company-mothers are the main species studied by "Economics," the
science of eco[nomic]systems. As Top Predators of Eco[nomic]systems, they
control their organic Space, the Metal-Earth [our present world] its inhabitants,
men and machines.
We
can unify "cellular entities" into organisms as long as the networks
of energy and information work, even when we see those cells de-segregated. The
important thing is that all the cells of the organism need to be
"connected" through networks of energy and information. For example
an ant hill is an organism guided by a network of chemical information
[pheromones] that has its center in the queen, and a network of energy
distribution [the ant hill and its territory] through which energy cells move
[workers]. There are also other specialized energy species called warriors.
Finally, there is a reproductive system localized also in the queen [and its
males] that ensures the reproduction of the ant hill species.
Since
the three components of organic species exist in the ant hill, we can study an
ant hill as a single organism. Without any of those organs however the ant hill
is not efficient and it becomes defunct. If the queen can not reproduce, the
ant hill dies. If workers do not gather energy and warriors defend the organic
space of the ant hill, the ant hill dies. If the queen do not guide the workers
with chemical information, the ant hill also collapses. Only when those three
elements are fused the "organic species" exists. We have to widen our
concept of organisms, and consider "waves" communicated with
networks, also organisms, since they behave in all senses as such. Herds,
societies and bodies are organisms.
In
complexity we define an organic species when such networks exist: "A cellular organism exists, when there
are informative and energy networks that communicate the cells of the organism.
The density of energy and information communicated to those cells through the
networks is higher than the energy and information the cells receive from the
external world."
In
the case of the ant hill for example, the information that ants receive from
the queen is more important than the one they receive from the external world.
The ants act on orders of the queen. They also receive energy from the ant hill
where food is stored. In a body, the information cells receive from the nervous
system, and the energy they receive from the blood system, is also more
important than the Energy and information they receive from the external world.
In
an eco[nomic]system individual homes receive more energy from the arterial
systems of electric networks and roads, than from their organic spaces, except in
agricultural communities. Humans also receive more information from networks of
mass-media than from other human cells. We can conclude that the
eco[nomic]system is becoming a body-organism.
Physical
reality is only the particular perception of your eye. It misses a lot of
visual information on the organism. You don't see either the blood and nervous
systems of your body. Yet they are what define you as an organism. Don't trust
your senses. Trust the organic systems of organisms to qualify an entity as such.
It is a common error of spatial scientists to ignore the existence of organisms,
except only when they see them as bodies, and fixed particles.
Yet
it is not spatial closeness, but the existence of internal networks of
communication among the cells of the herd-body that defines a working system as
an organism. Those networks organize cellular herds into organisms, including
us, organized by three main networks, the nervous [informative] system, the
blood [energy] system, and the endocrine [reproductive] systems. Networks allow
the organism to "grow, and evolve" due to the collection of new
information and energy, that the reproductive organs "shape" into new
cells, and new organisms. In this book we study one such organism, still in
herd state, but progressing quickly toward body configuration; the
eco[nomic]system that is becoming the body of the Metal-Earth. Indeed, if we do
not see them from our "bacterial" point of view as a single species;
from the higher point of view of satellite networks and celestial bodies, the
Metal Earth is becoming a single body-form of cities=cellular knots,
arteries=roads, and nervous systems of electronic information and electric
energy.
3: Sciences: Analysis of Universal Organisms
In
the next graph we classify all sciences as 'descriptions' of certain universal
organisms. Scientific knowledge is the information that humanity perceives
about the organisms of the universe.
Man
is a specific organism with a specific range of perception of other universal
organisms from quark-microcosms to galactic macrocosms. Each science studies a
certain range of human information and energy. Physics studies microcosms of
atoms; chemistry studies microcosms of molecules; biology studies the
medium-size cosmos of 'carbolife'. While history and religion study the
macrocosms of man (tribes, gods, collective information, nations). Yet the
parallel form and behavior of microcosmic atoms [physics] and macrocosmic
masses [astronomy] proves that the same organic laws rule all species of the
universe. After all the key to the entire process of existence is information,
carried by ¥-rays which have a flexibility of sizes that makes possible all
scales, in living organisms...
The
total universe is defined as a game of infinite social herds that communicate
through information networks in order to feed on fields of energy.
Each
parallel universe, each ecosystem of species of a certain energy size and
informative range, is studied by a science. Each science is the 'description'
of organisms of a similar size and form, their cells and their networks. All
them follow the morphological laws of organisms.
4: Bodies of energy, minds of information.
In
the Universe all species, are composed of a center of information or brain, and
a center of energy or body. The morphological characteristics of both kind of
elements are similar in any species.
Brains
of information are cyclical, small, often of spherical forms, like your eyes
and brains.
Bodies
of energy are physical, bigger, planes or lines.
For
example in a spermatozoid, the Head is cyclical and stores information, the
tail is lineal and moves the Head with its energy. Your body is lineal and
moves your cyclical Head.
We
could extend this duality to almost any organic system of the Universe.
Why
bodies are lineal and brains cyclical? This morphological feature of Universal
Organisms derives logically from the internal structure of organisms.
A
brain is the center of the informative networks.
A
body is the center of the energy networks.
Yet
since energy and information have certain morphologic and behavioral
characteristics, those characteristics allow us to recognize bodies and brains.
-
Information has a form which is 'perceivable' and easy to store. The main characteristic
of anything that is used as information, is the fact that a certain organ of
information can perceive it and store it.
This
implies certain morphological patterns: Information has a lot of form, tends to
be small, and can be divided into units, that allow quantification. Information
is 'quiet'; so the organ of information can focus it and analyze it. This means
information species tend to have curves, and angles. All together means that
the perfect unit of information in fact is a disk, cycle, or sphere.
The
main organs of information in species are spherical, such as your eye, or
brain, or the coin, standard unit of monetary information.
-
On the other hand Energy moves. So energy bodies extend in space, as they move,
and feed.
Energy
is the equivalent to biological food, which fuels a species, and allows its
movement.
Energy
is the body that moves the brain of information
So
energy and space are synonymous. Since a plane is the geometry that extends
more in space, and the line the
geometry that moves faster, with lesser friction, both are the fundamental
forms of energy-bodies.
As
a consequence of those properties of energy and information, we recognize the
bodies and minds of species, because they have also a clear morphology which
corresponds to that of generic energy and information.
How
do individual cells organize communication in complex organisms? How do atoms
evolve into the molecular social plane, and molecules into the cellular social plane,
cells into the organic social plane, organs into the body, and bodies into the
social plane of collective existence? Easily. The organization of
information-energy species in the Universe takes place through processes of social evolution of individuals into
herds.
5. Memorial Times, the fundamental particle of the
Universe.
Discontinuous
space and discontinuous time, the key to understand reality.
We
conclude that Time and information, and Space and energy, are related parallel
concepts, which suffice to describe the composition of any species of the
Universe. The key to understand that parallelism between time and information
and space and energy is the correction of an error that has dragged our
scientific knowledge of those 4 elements for centuries. The belief that
space-time is a continuous surface. In reality space is divided in 'quanta of
energy', and time is shaped by ∞ cycles of information. When we
understand the discontinuity and multiplicity of spaces, and cycles of time,
then it is very easy to relate times and informative cycles, and spaces and
energy quanta, as we do already in biological sciences and quantic physics.
We
indeed affirm that the Universe is composed of quantic cycles of temporal information, 'Brains' that Move, quantic pieces of energetic space, "Bodies'. Both
together shape Universal organisms, we have baptized with the acronym of those
letters, as Times. Which means we are not in space-time but we
are made of spatial energy and temporal information. We are made of space and
time, so we are Times, organisms of temporal information and spatial energy.
The
world times is very suggestive of what we really are: brains moving bodies,
evolving bodies and controlling them through languages. We have to look at
reality from the dominance of time, of information, of languages, not of space,
of energy, of bodies. For that reason the fundamental particle of the Universe
is a Times, a Temporal memory, a language that resumes reality and controls it.
We are spiritual beings. Space does not matter. Times only matters. Events are
the essence of reality. History, evolution, repetition of memorial cycles...
Movement
commands space. The will of times.
Temporal
Information commands energetic space. This is clear.
Times
moving, Temporal information and energetic space moving together, in each and
all the infinite species of the Universe - that is all. Times are all around
us. Wherever you look, you can see
them, in their spiritual quest for the impossible immortality of his memories,
that all times desire to repeat, to reproduce forever.
Repetition
is the key to all times, the will of times.
Abstract
scientists can use the aseptic term: cyclical inertia. Lineal Inertia, the
simplistic view of Galilee and Newton, is merely an interval of a long cycle.
All is cycling, and the fact that once the cycle is completed any form has
repeated the cycle, reproduced again the cycle, is the ultimate will of times:
To
perpetuate your cycles of existence.
And
yet, in those cycles a Times can intersect with other times cycling, and it can
become the victim of a big cycle that wants to use your 'organic movement' as
energy 'to feed his own cycling'. So cycles are always in danger of being
erased.
Enter
the game of the will of times. We all want to move, but we have obstacles, and
we need energy to move, and information to perceive, where we are going.
Those
are the elements of the game, Energetic space, temporal information and
movement. When you play good, you are a times, when you play bad, you are dead,
become absorbed as static space, by the other player.
The organic behavior of species, ties
up space and time.
Despite
being discontinuous space quanta and time cycles appears to us together. So we
could wonder, what ties them together?. The answer is the organic behavior, the
communication established between the species of space and time.
Times are organic memories.
How
can we describe the behavior of those Times? We will use a word that might
surprise you: Memorial organicism.
What
times do is what intuitively we know as Times we do: repeat our cycles of
existence, become memories in action , reproduce our movements, and cycles of
feeding, and perceiving, of living and dying...
The
essence of organicism is reproduction. Yet reproduction is the repetition of a
form, and repetition of forms take place in all the regions of the Universe.
Atoms repeat their cycles, electrons cycle once and again with the same form,
around the atom. Molecules vibrate around similar distances. Herds gather in
similar patterns. Men reproduce their children. Machines are reproduced in
company-mothers. In a simpler or complex manner, repetition of form is the will
of Times.
Times
cycle over space, repeating with cyclical inertia their forms of existence.
Memorial
reproduction is the essence of space and time, of energy and Information.
Information exists by cycling, forming space, once and again, and again.
All
combinations of spatial energy and temporal information, all Times show organic
behavior, the kind of behavior that defines living organisms, because the
essence of Time is to cycle once and again over Energetic space.
organicism
implies the communication of Temporal Information of form on a surface of
Energetic Space.
That
is the 'engine of History' and the Universe at large. Reproduction, repetition,
existence.
The
thought of God... Yet what are the details of that organic memory, can we analyze
that repetition of form, in its smaller components? Can we consider a few more
events as fundamental as reproduction? Yes indeed.
We
can divided the organicism of reproduction in minor arrows, needed to complete
the reproduction of form.
This
happens because to reproduce a form you have to repeat both your energy and
information in other zone of space-time, and so reproduction is in essence a
complex movement that requires two elements: energy and information.
So
we divide in fact reproduction in 4 sub-arrows or ties of organicism: Feeding on
energy, perceiving information, repeating that energy and information
(reproduction in itself) and evolving, tying together multiple units of times
into a complex social organism (reproduction of complex organisms made of
multiple units). Let us consider them in more detail.
6. organicism of Times: feeding,
perceiving, reproducing, evolving.
A
word defines dynamically the Universe of Times: reproductive organicism.
A
complex action that starts as almost everything else in the Universe, with the
interchange of Energy and Information, the two components of the Universe.
All
species in the Universe interchange dynamically energy and information. Their
reactions and existence are guided by such minimal organic behavior, even in
those forms, such as planets or atomic species, in which we do not recognize
reproductive organicism at first glance.
What is organicism. The 4 ties of
organic existence.
Reproductive
organicism - the capacity to show memorial, organic behavior proper of all times -
could be defined on the view of most biologists, that study carbolife, by 4
attributes, that we shall call dynamic arrows or organic dimensions, orTimes of Times, since they tie together the different elements of a Times
species into a single event or organism.
Those
organic ties needed to reproduce a memorial form are:
-
Feeding on Energy. Which ties up preys
and predators.
-
Perceiving information. Which ties up
forces and sensorial organs.
-
Reproducing. Which communicates energy and information between similar forms, tying them up in couples or parents and sons.
-
And evolving socially into complex organisms which ties up similar forms, cells, that share energy/information
communication among them till reproducing a complex organism.
As
we shall see those 4 ties go from the most simple to the most complex: the
reproduction of a social organism, and so we can consider them 'analytic steps'
of the ultimate process of the Universe, the memorial reproduction of a times
of existence.
Those
ties of organicism are indeed the essence of life, the essence of Times.
Biologists
have come to the conclusion that most living species spend their lives searching
for those 4 organic ties. They try to feed on energy, they try to perceive
information. They try to communicate and reproduce... And they gather through
communication into social groups, or organisms.
When
you see a TV, a movie, or read a book, you are perceiving information.
When
you work or feed, you are obtaining energy to take care of your organic needs.
When
you love or have sex, you are taking care of your third organic arrow:
reproduction.
When
you live in a society, that organizes itself to achieve those goals, you are
evolving into a social organism.
The
same happens with a lion that hunts for food, observes the savanna, loves his
lioness, and socializes in a group to achieve those goals easier. The
differences between him and you are in the details - for example, what kind of
energy and information you process - but not in the quality of the process.
Both,
the lion and you are moved by one of the 4 arrows of organicism: Feeding on
energy, Perceiving information, Reproducing your information and energy in
other place of the Universe; and gathering in social groups and organisms
created with similar individuals that try to achieve those common goals.
organicism is consequence of the
space-time structure of the Universe.
You
might wonder why those 4 arrows of organicism exist. The answer is simple:
because the two components of the Universe, space and time, are organic
components. And so our properties of organicism are properties of the Space and
Time components of the Universe.
We
will relate those 4 basic arrows of biological organicism to those two parameters, by relating the
concept of a quanta of space with the concept of energy, and the concept of a
cycle of time, with a cycle of form, of information.
In
this manner organic space=energy, and organic time=cycles of information become the
basis for the 4 arrows of organic behavior: perception of time, or perception of
information are synonymous; feeding on energy, absorption of space are
synonymous, reproduction and communication of space-time and reproduction of
energy and information are synonymous.
To
understand those 4 arrows of organicism we will relate them in two groups:
Reproduction and social communication are the most complex arrows of organicism.
Feeding and informing, are the simplest dimensions, connected to each other.
Indeed,
those two phenomena, feeding on space, and perceiving informative time are
related phenomena.
They
are what we call the two simple arrows
of organicism.
You
absorb energy=space and trans-form it into cycles of information. The dynamic
transformation of space into time, of energy into information is the
fundamental process of the organic Universe. Since when you feed on energy,
actually you are perceiving that energy, and forming it, in-forming. And so
perception of in-form-ation is directly related to the arrow of energy feeding:
Energy feeding => Perception of
form.
The
same 2 parameters of spatial energy and temporal information
are also the origin of complex organicism, of the dimensions of reproduction and
social communication.
To
reproduce is to repeat your energy and information in other zone of the
Universe. An initial cellular species (call it a seminal cell, a first big-bang
atom, a crystal) replicates its energy and information into many cells, and
once it has reproduced in great numbers, those cells communicate
energy/information again and organize now into a herd of 'clonic' beings that
finally becomes an organism.
So
we relate what we will call the two complex arrows of organicism:
Communicative, cellular Reproduction
of energy/information = Social evolution.
organicism
in this manner is self-proved by the fact that we live in a Universe of
space-time, of spatial energy and temporal information; and organicism is merely
the result of the combination and transformation of quanta of space into cycles
of time and vice versa
7. Strategies of survival: Social Evolution and
Darwinian Devolution
For
all what have been said, about organisms, nature proves ad infinitum that
species evolve socially, and such strategies are superior strategies of
survival, to the individual, selfish pursuit of energy and Information.
The
individual 'bacteria' might be stronger than the social cell. As the individual
top predator human warrior might be stronger than the community on which it
preys. Yet when social cells organize they are stronger than individual
bacteria. So happens in history when humans organize in societies based in
social evolution, in love, in communication. They can defeat the primitive,
arrogant, "homo bacterium warrior".
I
remember a beautiful film called the "7 Samurai". A group of peasants
become organized and finally despite their individual cowardice, are able to
defend a mass of Homo Bacteria Bandits. That is in essence the way the Universe
fights individuals: through social evolution among similar species, able to
communicate.
It
follows that there are two Universal Mandates that all species follow. Two
mandates that are opposed, as information and energy are opposed.
The
Darwinian mandate of "feeding" that individuals of different species
follow to become informed and perceive.
The
Social Mandate of "Evolution" that individuals of the same species
follow to become herds and bodies that are able to hunt better other species.
The 'Moral' behavior Of Social
Organisms
Thus
we find in organic ecosystems a certain logical pattern of behavior that
enhances the survival of the ecosystem, and so it is repeated "ad
infinitum."
- Similar "cells" of the same
species communicate energy and information, to evolve into more complex social
organisms. We could say they "love" each other.
-
Species which are different, abuse each other as relative energy. We might say
they "hate" each other.
What
is the origin of those "ethical-survival rules" of organisms? To
exist you have to feed in energy and 'perceive' and inform yourself about the
Universe. Yet we said that information is more powerful than energy. So if you
can receive a certain force as information you will rather become informed that
absorb the force as energy. For example if you get light as energy you are a
plant. If you can decode it as information, you are an animal. You prefer that.
Yet all questions require the proper answer,
all information requires to possess organs of information similar to the
species that emits the information; organs able to "translate" the
force of communication into information.
To communicate the emitter and the
receptor must be essentially the same species, or at least must have similar
informative and communicative organs.
So
the way you relate to other species will depend of your "similarity"
with them.
When
beings can communicate information and decode it [because their organs of
decoding are similar, are parallel] we have a phenomena of social evolution,
of love, which is communication and understanding.
Yet
when beings are very different and cannot decode their communication, they
absorb that force of communication as a energy, and feed on it. They consider
the communicative species an energy source, a form of food, and act in
consequence as hunters. Then we talk of Darwinian devolution, of hate,
of victims.
In cases of social evolution the
population of a certain species will socialize, and become a more complex
organism, sharing their information and energy, often "hunting"
together. The population will become a society more powerful than the
individuals. Social evolution will enhance the power of the herd that survives
better.
Social
evolution in history is the rule between "parallel individuals" in
tribes and nations. Yet it is also the rule in all "Universal
Organisms."
On
the other hand, Darwinian devolution is the rule between man and all other
species which man "ab=uses" as energy. We tend to consider a living
being, only a parallel being, very similar to us.
We
ignore, despise and use as energy all other perceptive beings whose
communication we cannot decode.
Both behavior, social
evolution, and Darwinian devolution, are natural to the Universe.
Social Evolution: How
micro-organisms become macro-organisms?
Many times we observe that a herd starts
as a wave. It then becomes more dense in its networks=organs of energy and
information and organizes itself socially into "bodies." The
difference between a body, a wave or herd is in the organization of systems of
distribution of energy and information. They are more dense in efficient bodies
than in loose waves. Which is better, a body or a herd? Bodies have survival
advantages over herds, because in bodies all cells act in harmony, controlled
and guided by dense networks of energy and information. Our cells move together
under the command of a single nervous system. A herd has to communicate in a
more primitive way. It reacts to external stimuli with less precision. For that
reason bodies prey on herds; and all
herds tend to evolve towards bodies that survive better. So the efficient
cellular body of a whale preys on a wave of krill; an efficient body-nation
such as America preyed on the waves of Indigenous Indians. Yet in both cases,
in a herd of loosely organized beings, or in a particle or body of very closely
knit cells, we find the same phenomena - the existence of a mass of beings
joined by networks. When studying organisms we talk either of herds of cells,
or bodies of cells, that organize themselves through networks of energy [like
the blood system, or the road ways of the Metal-Earth, the force systems that
join molecules, the channels of cells that distribute energy to the
organelles], and networks of information [the nervous system, the infoways of
the Metal-Earth, the quantic numbers that distribute electrons around atoms, or
the genetic material that distributes information inside cells].
Social
evolution begins when a species "radiates," [a biological term for a
massive reproduction of a species] and multiplies its numbers in parallel sons.
Then once the herd has saturated its "organic space," it organizes its
many "cellular beings" into societies. Societies are just "herds
of beings" that use networks of energy collection and networks of
informative perception. This is the first step towards the creation of a body,
or complex organism. The herd requires communication among its species to avoid
conflicts when hunting energy and information. That communication is
facilitated by the network.
As
the herd multiplies, in order to survive with an increasingly limited supply of
energy, the society organizes better networks of communication. On the other
hand, energy supplies are variable. Networks store and distribute energy to
avoid wasting precious resources. Since herds multiply, those without a system
of communication and the ability to gather and distribute energy become
less-efficient systems. So, sooner or later, dense herds become a social body,
and exhibit those two type of networks, or as non-efficient species become
extinct. We talk of herds or waves, when organs of communication are still in a
formative stage, or are small in power. We talk of bodies or particles when
those organs of information are dominant over the herd, so that they guide it.
In history, this means that at a certain stage
of the human 'radiation', there was a differentiation of human cells, with
castes belonging to networks of energy and information on top. Men became
prophets of verbal information, traders of monetary information, farmers of
energy, and warriors of metal energy. In your body certain cells become
nervous-informative cells and blood-energy cells.
Social evolution into macro-species
of life.
Those social laws of
evolution are also natural to the species on Earth.
This means in a practical
sense, that after bacteria filled the Earth, they started their own social
evolution into herds of bacteria, and then into organisms in which certain
cells specialized as networks of energy and information, carry those products
to individual cells. It was the birth of living organisms, which again shaped
the Earth to their image and resemblance.
The Earth became a continuous
surface of plants, which reigned supreme, diversified in multiple species, and
took to the limit their size as organs of light-energy.
Yet certain plants who were
more mobile, learnt how to guide their actions with light, how to find zones
rich in preying energy guided but light, and the animal was born.
As the animal preyed on
plants it changed again the look of the Earth's ecosystem.
Again a new top predator
shaped with his actions the external form of the entire planet.
Let us put you an example of
this:
Before
elephants and lions came, most of the savanna was probably a forest. Yet
elephants built their tracks on the jungle destroying those forests. They ate
trees, and slowly transformed the forest into a savanna to suit their needs.
When
the lion came, it also changed the shape of that ecosystem, in a more dynamic
way. Suddenly herds of animals were terrified by lions. They gathered in groups
and moved as living waves when lions went hunting. The dynamic shapes of those
herd are therefore shaped to accommodate the rhythm and cycles of feeding of
the strongest hunter, the lion. The lion and the elephant shape the animal and
plant life of the savanna.
The
ecosystem of animal life lasted for another few hundred millions of years; and
each new animal species shaped it to its image and resemblance both in water
ecosystems [oceans, rivers] as in land ecosystems [continents, islands]. Many
micro-ecosystems were created and destroyed. Some isolated ecosystem survived
longer, with primitive species, such as those of Australia, or the Galapagos,
that Darwin studied.
It
then happened that a new predator, man appeared. At the beginning he hardly
changed the ecosystem, in a different way to which lions, elephants or sharks
had changed them. He merely became the top predator. Herds moved trying to
avoid him. He changed the looks of the savanna. It was the Paleolithic in which men acted as the lion of the
Earth. Then he changed the places where plants grew as the elephant did. After
all he was just an Animal of the II Earth. It was the Neolithic when men acted
as the elephants of the Earth.
However,
at a certain point he discovered metal, a strong substance that multiplied
enormously our capacity to transform reality, to change, destroy and prey on
nature. He started a massive transformation of Earth ecosystems, towards what
we call the III Earth. The ecosystems of metal of the present world, the
eco[nomic]system, the Metal-earth.
The law of social evolution is the
law of social religions.
When
we apply those laws to human social organisms, it turns out that oddly enough
for those who 'despise verbal information' such as scientists, and economists,
the law of social evolution is the same law of social religions:
'love=communicate with each other'.
Love
indeed, not competence is the law between cells of the same species. Something
economists, scientists, politicians and
the military should remember, when they apply to mankind the concept of
competence, which should never apply between human beings, that belong to the
same species. The reason of that deformation of the Universal Law that the
verbal masters of classic religions so well understood, will be explained latter
in this book.
8. The main laws of Times, applied
to the evolution of languages.
Since
all what exists are Times, organic times, organic forms cycling, and playing the
game of existence, we can consider some basic laws of that game of existence
(explained in detail in "organicuniverse.com), that affect also the
evolution of languages, which are after all, merely species whose content of
Information is much bigger than its content of Space.
Let
us consider them, even if we will not use the novel terminology of "Time
Theory" to explain the history of artistic species.
Biological radiations of Times.
A
organic model of the Universe based in Times unifies the jargons of Physics and
biology - of quantic theory of Times and Evolutionary theories of behavior,
social evolution and fight among species - and so it unifies the nature of all
Times. All of them feed. All of them perceive. All of them reproduce. We
could say then that the biological Universe exists as a constant game of
reproductive 'biological radiations' of Times, composed of energy and
information, put together into organs [bodies of energy, minds of information].
Species with better information and energy organs survive. And species with
lesser information and energy organs, become extinct. They are unstable
particles and compounds, in abstract jargon, of chemistry and physics. Or
mutations that do not survive in biology. Or dreams that cannot be made real in
the world of informative thoughts. Or non-efficient products extinct in the
informative ecosystem of prices. Or human tribes that belong to societies of
human clones, that are not well organized...
In
this manner there is a constant evolution towards more complex species, and
herds, with better informative languages of communication, and bodies of
energy, in each parallel Universe.
Repetition
is now reproduction, two words which in fact mean the same.
And
evolution is now social, communicative evolution of herds, into organisms.
Because once the Universe reproduced atoms, it continued the creation of more
complex structures - molecules, planets, galaxies... through social games of
communication, based in a few forces, common to all organisms.
The
best way to describe the reproductive, memorial organicism of species, is the
concept of a biological radiation. Biologists say that species reproduce in
growing numbers, creating biological radiations of a species. Times do also
reproduce in organic radiations, cycling and repeating their form, once and
again, expanding those forms in their ecosystems.
The
Universe is made of such biological radiations of temporal species. Radiations
of Times, become herds, that reproduce and feed in surfaces of energy, shaping
the forms of the perceived Universe. Which is nothing else, nothing more than
the sum of all those discontinuous Times, repeating their cycles of existence.
The
big bang was a radiation of the most simple times known to man, the atom, that
took place in several phases. The first radiation was of light, of photons. The
second radiation was of electrons. The third radiation was of masses. The most
complex radiations of atoms and molecules grew in societies so big as
planetoids, so complex as DNA-societies [human bodies]. DNA radiations started species of living beings.
In the world of masses radiations grew into stars and galaxies...
Almost
every phenomena of death and life perceived in the Universe have a common
cause: the radiation of a being that feeds in other radiations, used as energy,
over which the radiating being reproduces himself.
Proves
that more and more phenomena are caused by radiations appear day by day.
Certain
phenomena that before were explained in abstract manner now can also be
explained as radiations. The Bible speaks of such radiations in a poetic sense.
The first day, the first radiation was of light. Then light broke away from
dark matter. The day from the night. The radiation of mass grew into beings,
more and more complex, till bringing mankind.
Those
were the days of creation, the days of radiations, and the writer of Genesis understood
that radiations, are the nature of the creative Universe. "Grow=become
more complex, and multiply=radiate" was his advice to man.
What
radiates is an organic species, a complex system-body made of a radiation of
'cellular species' smaller species. Molecules radiate over smaller atoms, men
over smaller cells, Ideological Gods over smaller men.
So
each science studies a radiation: history studies the radiation of men, biology
radiations of cells, chemistry radiations of molecules, astronomy radiations of
atoms and stars, and planets.
The
Earth's radiations of beings have evolved through a series of discontinuous:
bacteria, plants, sea animals, land animals, amphibian, reptiles and dinosaurs,
mammals, men, machines... Since in fact radiations are not only of life, but of
all forms. There are also metallic radiations, radiations of machines and
products reproduced by company-mothers in the economical system.
You
could understand the Universe under the concept of radiation. We affirm that
the Universe exists as a constant game of radiations of species, who extinct
other species. Radiations grow constantly out of the energy of the species they
extinct. Yet what is the nature of the species that radiate? How that nature
defines the radiation?
All
the radiations of the Universe, have however certain elements in common. Those
elements and common laws of Times radiations.
The morphology of Times.
As
a consequence of the morphologic properties of Temporal information that
implodes spatial energy into form, and the morphologic properties of Spatial
energy, that expands information into spatial extension, we can relate the
elements of the Universe to some basic morphological shapes.
Energy
expands, as when you explode a bomb, or you feed, exploding any form into its
components. Or when you move expanding the Universal space (galactic
expansion). So energy forms are big, expansive, and occupy geometrical forms that have a great surface (such
as lines, planes, cubes and in general all lineal shapes).
On
the other hand information implodes as when you focus light into information,
or when you evolve your cells tying them into a close-knotted organism, or as
when you create a form, cutting materials into smaller pieces that then you
tie, you peg together. So we can talk of information as an implosive,
contracting, process. And informative forms become then small, implosive, and
occupy geometrical shapes that allow a great volume in a minimal surface, as in
the case of spheres (such as eyes, brains, and cameras), or broken geometries
(such as words, paintings, and chip circuits).
The
result of those morphologies are evident. Species specialized in Temporal
Information are spherical and small. Species specialized in Energetic Space are
bid and planar.
We
will call them generically Bodies of Energetic Space (planar big components of
Times such as your planar, lineal body), or Brains of Temporal Information
(small cyclical components of Times, as your small spherical Head).
It
is then evident that Times, are made of a small cyclical TI, and a big planar
ES, and together bodies and brains, pieces of Temporal information and
Energetic Space shape a Times.
All
Times are made with Temporal Informative brains, and Energetic, Spatial
Bodies. So there are no TI or ES alone, but Times, TI=ES, species with
TI-brains and ES-bodies in harmony with each other (=).
We
will show you in this book how the morphology of all TI=ES is exactly a
combination of cycles and lines. So you have a cyclical TI-Head, and an
ES-body. Such combinations are everywhere, from spermatozoids to trees, we see
cyclical Heads and lineal bodies. This also happens in artistic species, even
in letter and numbers. There are made of lines and cycles. And the next
question we make is: Why we find in certain ages, more TIes, more cyclical
forms, and in other ages, more tiES, more lineal spatial forms? There is any
logic, bio-logic order, that explains the different morphologies of species.
Indeed, there is, and it is fundamental to understand the evolution of
languages. It is the law of 3 creations or law of the 3 ages.
Creative laws based in the duality of space/time,energy/information.
How
species evolve? Why certain forms come from another?
The
existence of 3 networks in all organisms, the energy, reproductive and
information networks of any organism, are responsible of the paths of evolution
of species, of its processes of creation and extinction.
To
understand the process of Evolution of Universal organisms, we have to
understand the Law of Creation. It is a simple law, and yet it is perhaps the
most important Law of the Universe. It explains why certain species are born in
the tree of evolution - what is the plan behind the Creation of the Universe.
A
very simple plan.
Forget
the chaotic explanations traced by
'abstract scientists' that deny any order, any planing, any living nature, any
intelligence to the Universe. Most of those theories are caused by the Human
Galilean paradox, of self-importance that tends to disregard the rest of the
Universe as a chaotic place without intelligence and logic. Scientists prefer
to see chaos and freedom, to feel themselves free, and irresponsible with their
acts, as the only intelligence of the Universe.
However
the Universe have laws, plans, and actions which have to be known to be able to
control the future , in a responsible manner. One of those laws, is the way the
Universe creates new species.
It
is in fact a rather simple system based in the biology of organic Times.
There
are only 3 elements in any organic Times, an energy zone or body, an
information zone or brain, and networks that balance and communicate both
species, reproducing them.
You
have a nervous/informative network, an energy/digestive network, and a
reproductive/communicative/blood network. You are the consciousness of those
networks. And those networks explain the 3 ages of your existence from birth to
extinction. They also explain the evolution of species through morphologies
that mimic those 3 ages.
9. The law of 3 ages. The law of 3
creations.
-
The law of the 3 ages. All species go through 3 ages, with
discontinuous periods of change in your energy and information parameters: youth in which energy dominates, maturity in
which the networks of energy and information are in balance, and information,
the third age when energy is consumed, and formal wrinkles and death appears.
The law is proved by the changing morphology of all Universal organisms of all
species that adopt those formal shapes as time goes by. It relates to a
fundamental law of evolution in time, that tends to create 3 kind of organic
species, or 3 kind of temporal forms.
We
perceive that phenomena externally as the 3 ages of the being, that becomes
older, informed, wrinkled.
Watching
those particular Organic systems is obvious that each age participates of the
morphological characters of energy and information.
For
example, young people are full of energy. They are in the Energy horizon of the
species. They are bigger, have little temporal knowledge. They are simple in
form. While Old people are full of information. They are in the information
horizon of the species. They are smaller, have a lot of temporal knowledge.
They move little, and have a lot of wrinkles.
Finally
mature people, have such perfection and balance between the two elements of the
organic Universe, between their content of energy-space, and temporal
information, that they can reproduce the entire TI=ES, in all its components.
Hence the second age is the age of reproduction. The forms of any TI=ES in that
age, is a realistic, harmonic, efficient combination of lines and cycles.
Again
we perceive that form as 'beautiful', an objective concept of harmony between
energy and information lines and cycles. So in all organisms the mature, realistic, classic age of balance, or
reproductive age, is the most perfect age.
Human
beings intuitively see that. We like spiral galaxies, mature people, realist art,
which is called classic art and takes place in mature civilizations.
The 3 ages of Times are therefore related to the 3 networks developed by all organisms:
-
The energy network [i.e.: your blood system, the Golgi systems in cells]
-
The information network [i.e.: your nervous system, the RNA networks in cells].
-
The balanced, reproductive network [i.e.: your endocrine system of hormones,
and sexual organs, the DNA molecules in cells].
The
information network feeds, and 'knots' the energy body, as the organism of
Times lives. So the predominance of information over energy, displaces the
active center of the organism, from the network of energy to the reproductive
network, to the information network.
The laws of Survival: Balance of
energy and Information.
However
even if information dominates in the long term, in the short term, once a
species is created, it will develop networks of communication between body and
brain (energy, reproductive and information networks) that will create a
balance between both organs, symbiotic and complementarity. Keeping that
balance is the best strategy to make the individual life of a Ti=es species to
last.
A
fundamental law derived of the existence of bodies and brains, of space and
time as equal parameters in all Ti=Es, is the law of balance, between energy
and information parameters in any Ti=Es (ecosystem, species, region) of the
Universe. Indeed, we said that only in the middle age when S=T, e=i, the
Times is immortal, balanced and reproduces. So all systems that last try to
keep that balance. In biology that is self evident, in what biologists call
homeostasis. The fact that to keep a biological organism alive, it has to keep
its energy-information relationships called organic constants in a narrow margin
of minimal change. So happens to other species. For example in physics the
lorentz transformations show how when atoms, forces and particles move beyond
the limits of energy (c speed) and still information (O Kelvin degrees) a
particle explodes and dies.
Death , we conclude, is then
the imbalance between energy-information.
S=
T, i=E is the law of survival of any
ecosystem or organism in the Universe. We will bring that law constantly when
explaining the nature of biological death in History, of individuals, civilizations
and even the entire ecosystem of History in which today we approach a process
of death by excessive reproduction of information and knowledge.
The law of 3 creations.
When
we consider species as cells of a collective organism (so history is the human
species born from the first human who talked, evolved into multiple cells and
social organisms called civilizations, and maybe dying in the future ), we talk
of the law of 3 creations that mimics the 3 ages of individuals for the entire
collective species. It is the law that in fact explains the 3 ages of art, and
civilizations. Let us consider it in more detail.
-
The Law of the 3 creations: Given the ternary nature of organic networks,
the process of mutational creation of new species tends to originate 3
subspecies from an initial form: one specialized in energy, one with a higher
content of information, and a third species which is balanced in energy and
information. It is indeed very common to find 3 and only 3 subspecies in all
kind of organisms in the Universe... 3 quarks; 3 elements in an atom [energy
electrons, communicative light, informative nucleons]; 3 subspecies from the
initial reptiles [reptiles, birds, mammals], and so on...
Those
3 subspecies however dominate in different ages. So first reptiles dominated,
then birds, and finally mammals, the informative subspecies.
In
general thus we find that the 3 subspecies of reality can be observed in living
organisms together, what scientists call synchronic analysis, and through 3
ages, of relative dominance in diachronic analysis.
So
happens in history, art, and the evolution of languages.
Let
us consider the case of the evolution of mankind species to illustrate those
fundamental laws that we will need to study the evolution of languages.
