CHAPTER 2:
SELECTION OF MINDS: SURVIVAL OF THE
SMARTEST
1: The Logic of God, the logic of
all languages.
Simultaneity and organization of
herds by languages
We
said in the prologue that languages are not spiritual, that they have a
physical support - the network of information of a certain organism. However
that physical support is lighter than the bodies of species. The result is that
informative systems process very fast information, to the point of being almost
simultaneous in that processing in relationship with the 'physical reality they
describe'.
Let
us consider now the physical quality of simultaneity, the speed of a language,
since it is the key to understand the importance of languages in the evolution
of social species.
We
can say that "I eat bread" happens in a relative zero Times respect
to the length of the act of eating. So we define relative simultaneity, T=O, as
the main property of all efficient languages when compared with the relative
infinite length of the physical phenomena they describe. Such speed of
communication is what gives the language a relative 'spirituality'. Since the
language as the event does exist, it has a physical support, but far less
'dense', far more virtual, light, simpler. That simplicity and brevity gives
the language its power and simultaneity respect to the event it describes.
For
example in the human case verbal languages exist in the brain as a neuronal
network which mirrors and describes an external reality. The language is a
relatively simultaneous 'image' of that reality. When we consider the language
and the reality it describes, the most striking characteristic of the language
respect to the reality is the speed of description. That is also its source of
power. The language is powerful because its image of reality, is a meaningful
synopsis of reality.
The second, fundamental property of languages, derived
of its simultaneity is the
capacity of the language to explain reality from several points of view.
For
example, the structure of any verbal language of any human culture is extremely
simple. Any sentence is composed at
least of the following terms:
Subject-Verb-Object
Yet
it can always be interpreted at the same Times as:
Object-passive
verb-subject.
Thus
'I eat bread' is also 'bread is eaten by me.'
And
both things are truth and subliminal to the sentence by means of parallel
grammatical structures. They are immanent to the sentence, simultaneous, and
co-existing together. And so we talk at least of 3 points of view, in all
languages of description:
-
Subject's point of view {he who utters or possess the language}
-
Object's point of view {Those who receive the language}
-
Verb+Passive Voice (a flow of communication between subject and object)
What
is fundamental to the sentence is that the sentence simultaneously explains three
different points of view in a single form, and hence it allows to 'unify' three
elements into a single event.
The
constant Universe is a Universe of acts of simultaneous communication, of
energy and information between species.
As
a result of that Universal event, repeated ad infinitum, and the capacity of
languages to reflect with simple sentences such as the previous one any
universal event of communication, we talk of a Universal grammar: a language
explains any event with that simple sentence:
Subject
transfers or receives energy and information from object.
So
we can talk of a Universal grammar common to all languages, that explain the
Universe as a series of events of communication of energy and information
between different species. This is done by each language, with different
forces, codes, and energies. Words use the previous grammar,
subject-verb-object. Colors use the range of 3 colors White-gray-black, or
Red-green-blue. Mathematics uses equations, Y = x.
Yet
in all those cases we are describing the Universal event between species:
Subject <communicates energy or
information > Object.
Moreover
this is done fast, so fast that a language hardly takes time respect to the
event it describes. So it is perceived as simultaneous.
The
result is that the language is extremely powerful to inform and communicate a
linguistic species with the Universe, since it packs the essence of what
happens in the Universe in a very brief time, allowing the species to react to
those evens.
The
species will know what is happening, what is the force that is becoming
communicated, [either energy or information]. Then it will recognize how that
force will affect him according to memories stored with the language; and it
will act in consequence.
In
a sense perceptive simultaneity is the very essence of what a relative language
is. "I eat bread" resumes in almost simultaneity the physical act of
eating bread; but it also simultaneously explains the act from different points
of perception: at least the subject and the object, and the flow of
communication between them.
The
language gives us a map of the whole event, of both components: forms and
energy/information that communicates the forms. The language goes beyond each
individual frame of reference, and by 'simultaneity' offers an image of all the
elements interacting in the event; a 'neutral' image, to which all elements of
the event, all 'physical' forms can relate.
Languages not only describe but also
create social reality
From
this essential definition of a language we can consider several uses of a
language:
-
It can gather herds into societies by equalizing them, explaining them
together, and creating a 'sense of justice', coordinating them, making them
work together.
The
capacity of the language to reflect the 'collective' vision, makes the language
powerful as a mean of power. For example the Human Law is a language which
orders humans; and humans obey the law because the law is simultaneous for all
of them It resumes their future behavior in simple manner. It is therefore the
perception by man of the Law as a language that explains and communicates human
beings simultaneously, what makes the language-law, so powerful.
The
language is 'reflexive'. First the action happens, then the language describes
it, and finally the linguistic master communicates to the herd the action no
longer as something that happens, but as something that has to happen in the
future , that has to be obeyed by the herd.
In
this manner the language selects from reality those acts which are positive to
the herd, and makes the herd repeats those acts. It also considers acts which
were negative and warns the herd, that will avoid them in the future .
The
language becomes in this way the cause of the future , and the cause of the
evolution of the herd. Without languages, social evolution is impossible.
To
that aim of guiding a herd, the simultaneity of the language is important,
since it creates the sense of 'justice', of equal treatment to all equal
individuals that understand the language. At least they receive the order at
the same time.
Of
course the herd has to be made of similar species, or else the species will not
perceive by themselves their equality, and common reference of the language.
That is why individuals of the same species are the main characters of social
evolution through languages. Men evolve through words, machines through
mathematics, the ants of the anthill receive the same massive pheromonal
information from the queen. So happens to cells that receive the same nervous
message and move a muscle or a leg.
The
language then creates the effect of mass. A mass obeys the simultaneous order,
and those small elements that deny the language disrupt the mass flow, the
harmony of the wave moved by the language and the mass destroys them, to return
to harmony.
Simultaneity is power, from stock-markets to TV-thought
simultaneity is the power of the language regardless of its formal content.
Pricing, a mathematical language, that
equals men and machines through a simple concept, a price [man=wage=price=cost=machine],
has created the modern world, since prices simultaneously order men and
objects. Thus pricing is even more powerful than verbal-religious-political
thought which only is understood by men, regardless of the intrinsic degrading
quality of the message of pricing which says: a man has a value similar to an
object and so we can interchange man and objects, computers and workers,
weapons and corpses... The moral issue is secondary to the power of a language,
as it was when a slave was priced, and changed by an object, money. So goes
today for TV-thought which destroys ethic, verbal thought with simple violent messages, but triumphs
given its technological simultaneity that reaches billions of humans,
regardless of the idiocy of its message.
The Universal event, The Universal
grammar: the living Universe
It
follows that the most individuals a language reaches at the same time the most
powerful it is.
Yet
as most individuals a language reaches, more simple the orders have to be so most
species understand the language. Thus the effect mass simplifies the Universe.
So we could say that the absolute grammar, the absolute sentence of all
languages, is very simple:
A [body] transfers energy to B
[Head], B[Head] transfers information to A [body.]
We
conclude that all species of the Universe are intelligent, since all of them
communicate energy and information. We exist in a living Universe, since all
species follow the Universal grammar. The laws of that Universal grammar, and
how they create the living Universe have been described in other books of this
author. They are not the theme of this book concerned only with human
languages.
On
that view, we have to accept that knowledge is not proper of any specific language
but of all languages of the Universe. Since all species in the Universe have
networks of information, brains, minds, forces that communicate them, and all
species are subject to processes of social evolution though languages.
We
have coined a new word for those herds and organisms: lanwaves, a herd, a wave of species communicated through a
language.
The logic of God
It
then turns out that all what exists can be reduced, to what we have baptized in
other books of this author, as the Logic of God, the logic of the Universe, and
all its languages. Which is the previous graph:
A communicates energy/information with B.
The
Sum of all those Universal events creates reality. That is the game of God, the
game that structures the Universe. Flows of energy and information between
subjects and objects. The fascinating rule of that logic has been analyzed in
other books "Theory of Times" organicuniverse.net. The restricted
number of languages man speaks is also within that logic:
Subject
Verb Object (verbal languages)
Red Green/yellow Blue (color languages, and images)
A
operandi B (mathematical languages).
Consumer
Price Product
Art
is part of those games. In art, the languages of man reach its highest
complexity, expression, and wealth of information. Those simple sentences in
art are made very complex to a degree which we will study along this book, but
ultimately all of those languages are based in the logic of God, in the simple
capacity of the previous sentence to reflect the Universe.
The main properties of languages,
and the main languages of the Universe.
Look
around you to the infinite lanwaves of reality, birds flowing, water flowing, masses of humans flowing, stars
circling black holes that order them in gravitational fields. Marvel yourself
to the herds and organisms of the Universe. How then can we classify them?
By
their power to describe accurately the Events of the Universe, which will be
given by the following properties of a language:
-Simultaneity or mass effect: Capacity of
the language to reach the maximum number of individuals, which will therefore
believe the language and act under orders given by the language.
- Speed: Capacity of the language to
communicate the species who speak the language and the events the language
describe in a minimal quantity of time.
- Information: Capacity of the language to carry
the maximum quantity of information about the event.
This
third property of a language is often opposed to the other two. The more
information a language carries, the less speed of transmission it has, since it
has to send a lot of 'form' that suffers 'friction' on the space of
transmission. Also the language becomes the less simultaneous, since less
individuals understand the mass of information, that becomes too complex for many
simple individuals. Yet the great languages of the Universe, that have imposed
themselves over the maximum numbers of beings, achieve both properties.
So
we can classify the power of languages according to the objective properties
mentioned above. Let us do that classification, since it is the key to
understand why reality is like it is. Why certain linguistic species exist and
other not.
Main species of Universal languages
-
The most powerful language by its capacity to carry information, simultaneously
to the biggest number of species in the Universe is the gravitational language,
which reaches all species of this World, and other 'parallel Worlds', [dark
matter], where species we do not perceive might exist. As such gravitation is
the "top predator" language of the Universe, that all atoms and
species of reality understand. We hint at the fact that celestial bodies
[stars, planets, black holes] have gravitational minds and perceive through
gravitation. The speed of gravitation is so great that it seems infinite to us.
The quantity of information it carries must be also enormous, even though we
men do not perceive gravitation and so we cannot guess what it 'says'.
-
Second it comes the light language, the electronic/light visual languages
derived of electromagnetism, whose speed is 300.000 Km/second. Such language is
the top predator language of Earth's species. So the selection of species on
Earth is caused by the capacity of Earth's species to see light and create
information with light.
-
The mathematical language. It is a derivation of the light language, and it can
be transmitted to almost the same speed than light. Both men and machines
understand it. So its power is great, and it has become the dominant language
of the present Earth. It has given to informative machines of metal such as
chips and TVs, and money the enormous power they have to control human information and human acts.
-
Then it comes among the languages of the Earth, it comes the sound languages,
whose most perfect form regarding the mass of information it carries is the
verbal language of man. Its speed of information is around a million times
slower than images. So it is its quantity of information [an image is worth a
thousand words]. Regarding the species that speak with words, only humans are
able to understand them. So it is inferior in power to numbers.
-
Finally we have to consider the chemical languages, whose particles of
transmission are atoms, that move far slower than mechanical waves [sounds] or
electromagnetic waves [images]. They are used by simpler animals which smell
them on the air, or in the water, and
plants, that smell atoms in the ground.
The law of the black hole
We
can now understand the reason why Information, and brains that carry
information have the opposite morphological properties of energy-bodies, that
we summarized before into a
mathematical equation:
Maximum Space = Energy = Minimal
Form Vs
Maximum temporal form = Information
= Minimal Spatial extension.
This
is indeed the fundamental property of languages, which are not spiritual forms but forms of lesser volume and faster
communicative power. When comparing languages and the bodies they control,
from verbal to mathematical to image languages of reality, we realize that
the language and brain that speaks the language has lesser surface than the
body.
This
happens because the smaller the brain, the smaller will be the force that
carries information to it. So a gravitational brain can perceive the smallest
force, gravitation which moves faster. Then it comes the eyes, small and
powerful perceptors...
Besides
the smaller the force the less 'friction' it will have when traveling on the
Universe, so the faster it will move, and the more information it will pack.
Higher
frequency waves of light carry more information that big waves. Radio waves are
big. They carry less information that light...
So
we can map out a general graph of increasing information and decreasing
size-energy-space in all kind of brain forms; such as brains 'evolve' towards
higher information and lesser size. And those species of minimal size and
higher brain density become the 'top predator species of each language':
The
consequence of that order are obvious: the species who speak the faster
languages, who carry more information, become more powerful, and survive
better. So those species multiply and become top predators, and the language
acquires more simultaneity, reaches more species. In this manner a constant
selection of languages and species has taken place in the Universe.
It
is the survival of the smartest. In the Universe it has made the black hole,
very small compared to its density, the top predator Universal species. On
Earth it means the survival of the best visual brains. The subject of the next
chapter.
2: Sensorial languages. Why truth
helps the survival of species
Minds of languages, the power of
informative brains.
In
the last chapter we have studied the different forms of energy and information
that the Universe displays, and we have shown how each different species of the
Universe, uses a different kind of energy and information. This rises an
important question.
If
the different brains of the Universe perceive that universe with different
languages that store information, which laws order them, which laws decide what
is a better mind, what mind will impose its vision of the universe?
The
Laws of Evolution, the fight of existence: Each mind confronts its vision of
the Universe, with other minds, and those minds which store better information,
are able to react faster in that Universe, and survive.
So
we could in fact talk of a true ladder of power and organization in the
Universe, among all its species based in the languages they speak.
The
Universe is a mass of energy and information, which stores the truth in itself.
You are the truth of yourself, and any perception of you will only be a
linguistic approximation to your truth.
Let
us consider with a critical eye such approach to knowledge.
If
you smell a carrot you have a certain perception of the carrot, if you see it
you have another perception, if you use a microscope you have a third
perception, if you eat the carrot you have a fourth perception. Each perception
is a relative truth on the existence of a mass of energy and information known
as a carrot.
A
'scientific description' of the carrot, will be the numeric truths related to
the measure of the carrot. However a rabbit does not need the scientific method
of metal-instrumental evidence, to smell the carrot without seeing it. He knows
through smelling information that the carrot is. Thanks to such information he
will locate under the Earth a carrot, faster than a scientist. Smell is part of
the truth of the carrot, and the rabbit is an intelligent thinker of carrots in
smelling terms. If for the scientist the image of the carrot is the carrot, for
the rabbit the smell of the carrot is the carrot. He just has a different
approach to knowledge. Neither of them has all the truth on the carrot, which
only belongs to the carrot itself.
It
seems proved that light space is only
1-10% of reality. That light only scans 1-10% of the total space, perhaps more
than the nose of the rabbit , but still very little. The rest is dark matter
which exists and communicates with other forces. This implies we will never be
able to know totally the Universe by the scientific method, and our instruments
of perception which are like a blind 'smelling of the Universal carrot'.
Dark
matter exists not only in the outskirt of galaxies, but by mere logic, we have
to postulate that dark matter exists here, around us. That there are many
systems of communication that we do not perceive with light. Even within you,
as acupuncture proves, there are structures of energy and information that
cannot be 'seen'. After all we do not see gravitation and yet it regulates the
movement of all masses.
So true knowledge would be a method
of understanding the Universe, that would allow us to have strong, probable
truths about the 90% of what it is not perceived by the scientific method. of
light-clock evidence.
In
a world of partial information, truths are always relative probabilities,
guesses, approximations to the reality through a language with certain
Uncertainty.
The
conclusion is that truth is not the function of a single language, but the
accumulation of perceptions with many languages, that inform us about the
Universe. That no language is superior to other. Only the accumulation of
languages, and perceptions brings us the absolute truth.
Unfortunately
the most common form of knowledge of mankind, classic science only acknowledges
the mathematical language as a form of truth. Those limits to the scientific inquire, makes science a partial quest of
truth, inferior to a theory about all forms of knowledge collected with all
forms of languages. A Theory of Languages could consider the relativism of
perception, and information of any language, and create from that relativism, a
wider theory of knowledge, based on the existence of multiple linguistic
representations of reality, multiple 'virtual worlds', one for each intelligent
species, and each language of perception of reality.
Then
not only science - mathematical explanations of reality - or art - verbal and
visual explanations of reality - or smell - chemical representations of
reality, would be truth, but all those informations together will be truth. In
fact all those properties of the carrot should add to the total carrot and all
the information - measures, smells, chemical composition, color, etc. - that
defines the carrot.
A theory of Truth: the linguistic
method.
If we want to advance beyond the scientific
method, or the smelling method or the verbal method, we rather start to explore
the Universe with all the languages of man, and accept the existence of languages
beyond human perception that we cannot decode. Such knowledge requires also to
use a different method of knowledge besides the scientific method. Since the
scientific method is 'unidimensional', 'uni-linguistic' and accepts only
mathematical truths. Knowledge is by no means reduced to a single language as
the scientific method is.
On
the contrary in a linguistic method, we are obliged in the research of
Universal Organisms, to use all languages and informations we can gather.
We
see, and smell, and touch, and observe temporally the cycles of reality with
words. We have many languages of perception besides mathematics.
So
once we have gathered information with all those languages - including
mathematics and the scientific method, perhaps the most important method of
knowledge, that we do not reject but merely put in perspective - we can use the
concept of analogy, and observe what all those informations and languages have
in common. We might call such wider method, the linguistic method.
The
linguistic method searches for 'common properties' in all Universal species,
languages and virtual worlds - minds constructed with those languages. It
compares and extracts common formal laws from all spatial organisms, and
temporal languages of communication. In this manner we advance a step deeper in
our search of knowledge. Such linguistic vision of the Universe allow us to
jump into a theory of languages as means of communication between Universal
species that share information and energy thanks to those languages. Now we
will be exploring not only the language=virtual world of light knowledge
[science], but also the fact that there are many different languages, that
create many different virtual worlds, which in general have a purpose. The
purpose of those languages=virtual worlds is to ensure the survival of the
species which observes reality with that virtual world.
We
then affirm that species with better, more informative, faster
languages=virtual worlds, who scan more the Universe, are survival species,
whose virtual worlds are selected, since they kill less efficient species of
virtual worlds. We will talk of top predator languages=virtual worlds that
create top predator species.
Such
top predator linguistic species use simpler species, as food=energy, or as working
tools of his relative kingdom - as man does with 'living property', or DNA with
more simple carbohydrates, or ants with lesser insects.
So we can build a general theory of
selection of species, now based not only on external efficiency of bodies,
observed through light-descriptions [Darwinian evolution], but also on internal
efficiency based in linguistic complexity. It is not the body but mainly the language, the information system
of the organism, what determines a top predator organism, a survival organism.
The
most complex languages make species like man survive other lesser thinking
species such as lions. Survival and extinction of efficient languages of
communication, becomes then the essence of the Living Universe, made of
linguistic minds, that control efficient 'territories' or 'bodies'.
For
example, we know that a planet survives better than a comet because he has a
higher command of gravitational forces of communication, a better form in his
movement around the star. The irregular orbit of the comet allows the star to
capture and 'feed-dissolve' the form of the comet into her form. We know that a
carbon atom rules extended surfaces of other atoms, because he has more
'electronic forces of communication' - four valences. Man survives better than
lions, because his mind is more complex, and so he can control and manipulate
more extended territories.
It
is necessary to accept a Universe where many other species besides man have a
linguistic mind and do perceive virtual worlds, mirrors of the Universe, built
with relative, linguistic information.
Such
linguistic species, from atoms that perceive gravitation to plants that
perceive chemistry in their roots, are not dead. We just don't decode the same
information they do.
So
we will consider a Universe where stars see space-times of gravitation. A
Universe where life is perceptive, even metal-atoms might be perceptive in the
future [chip perception].
In
that Universe many species communicate, and act-react to communication, even if
man does not notice, or accepts their acts of communication as 'living
properties'.
We
cannot perceive the entire truth=existence of other organisms; but even if we
cannot see through the eye-worlds of planets or stars, or ants, we can observe
externally the movements and actions of those other eye-worlds, and we can try
to establish the laws that order and regulate such multiplicity of virtual
worlds that explore the Universe.
Of
all those laws, the absolute law is the fight between minds and the bodies
their guide for existence, and control of the ecosystem in which they live.
This
also happens in history, in which languages, and the societies of human beings
they control through laws and other networks of information, have fought for power, since the first words
were spoken.
Why informative top predators
control the Universe
In the Universe there is a constant process of selection of
informative, sensorial languages based in the 'rules of Darwinian selection':
Languages-species that carry more information and more energy [speed] survive
and extinct other languages.
Because
languages allow species to act-react to the Universe, to perceive it and avoid
other top predators, to survive better thanks to faster reactions, to live
longer.
If
we understand the entire being with his information and body organs, those
species with faster informative organs, with languages that scan more space,
and give more information in a unit of relative time, will be survival species.
Survival
is a function of action -reaction , which is a function of linguistic perception
of the external Universe.
A
language refers to a series of external forms; beings that the language
describes.
A
sentence of any language describes an external event or species of the
Universe, which in verbal thought is perceived and portrayed through a
sentence. When I say: "I eat bread" I am reflecting in a piece of
language, a physical event that I perceive. In this manner languages become
parallel Universes to the physical events that the mathematical, verbal or
visual language portrays. The language has the advantage over the event of
reducing the event to an almost simultaneity of expression, compressing the
information of the event into the 'mirror' of the language.
The
language is for that reason dominant over the body because it is smaller and
faster. It can react quicker to the events it perceives. And that gives it
primacy over the forms it orders. We could call it the 'Paradox of Goliath'.
The faster, more intelligent language, allows reality to be perceived and modified
faster; and it allows the body it guides to escape dangers better... The key to
survival.
This
is clear: when a squid sees for the first time in the Cambric, his visual
language communicates him with the Universe much faster than the smelling
language of the other animals. It communicates him also further.
We
can say that there is also a Darwinian selection between languages.
We
can measure survival through languages, since beings act as a matter of fact
with a speed of reaction that depends on their capacity to 'perceive
linguistically' an event in time and space. And that capacity is given to the
species by its languages. So faster eyes act-react better than noses.
Also
species 'act correctly' when more information have about a problem, and that information
depends on the language too.
So,
faster languages of perception, which carry more information [languages with
more energy and information] are better languages. They are languages that
allow certain herds to survive. So the language of communication of the squid,
the eye - which sees and creates with light an image of the Universe - is a top
predator language. It is clear that eyes were better than smellers both in
detail and size of its perceptive range. What was the effect of that linguistic
superiority? Survival. In fact cephalopods with eyes probably extinct 90% of
the species of the Cambric. We know it because when the first squids appeared,
they reproduced enormously while most of the other species became extinct.
The
top predator is more intelligent and stronger. And by controlling better than
any other species the energy and information of the ecosystem, it becomes the
'ecosystem' itself, the future reality. A higher degree of linguistic
evolution, gives birth to a more efficient specie. Efficient species will be
then species of 'future ', that feed and radiate over simplex species. And
simpler species with less linguistic information will be extinctive beings,
species of past, that the complex being will use as energy. And we can trace for each language of
information, a chain of species from a relative past to a relative future .
The
species of the future will 'feed', 'farm' or 'extinct the species of lesser
information, the relative past species.
And
that also happens in History where nations of the 'future ' with more machines
and money extinct regions of the 'past' with less monetary information.
Let
us see that evolution of languages in the Earth, and how indeed, changes of
languages and perception provoke the survival and extinction of species.
3: The Earth-Sun ecosystem: Evolution of Light-based
organisms.
Man
is part of the Earth - a chapter in the organic life of this planet. So to
understand man we need to understand what are the energy and information
sources of the Earth, and how they mold the evolution of life and History.
The Earth-sun, an ecosystem of
light.
Thus
the first obvious and decisive truth about the Earth-Sun is the fact that the
Earth's crust is an ecosystem defined in information and energy by the
hyper-abundance of light [¥-rays].
All
ecosystems are defined by their systems of energy and their languages of
information to which their species adapt. We name them by that source of energy
and information.
For
example, Genetic information rules cellular ecosystems, and so we talk of the
genetic cell. Gravitational information rules ecosystems of masses [galaxies,
atoms], and so we talk of the gravitational Universe. Monetary information
rules economic ecosystems and we talk of capitalist systems. Verbal information
[laws, ethics] rules historic ecosystems and we talk of political and religious
civilizations.
Light defines the Earth's ecosystems
since it provides both energy and information to living beings. So we talk of
the Earth, as a light-based ecosystem.
It is the capacity to process light
into energy or information for bodies and brains, what decides the survival
future of species on Earth.
History Of
An Eye. What Is Life: Evolution Of Light Organisms
Animal
life is mainly a history of evolution of light-eyes, looking at the sun, the
"energy" and "information" of the planet. A process
probably repeated in a many other planets and galaxies, in which carbon beings
achieve light-perception. Over the surface of such planets life increases the
complexity of their eye perception in a process of constant selection. Species
with less "eye-brain" development do not survive, or become feeding
energy of better brain species.
Why?
Again those questions are irrelevant to the fact that the process is taking
place on Earth, and now it is affecting the human kind that competes against
brain-machines, and robots. Of course you can always find reasons to such
behavior.
Perhaps planets evolve through reproductive
radiations of light-perceptive species, in a scale of increasing complexity,
from carbolife to Silife [silicon-based machines] to irolife [iron-based
machines] with increased receptivity to gravitational and light information. We
could be at the beginning of that macrocosmic evolutionary process, since our
planet is so far away in the galactic spiral.
In
the inner zone of a galaxy, near their black hole, some very old stars have
erratic movements [Population II]. It seems that closer to the black hole,
celestial species do not mechanically obey gravitational waves, trying to avoid
being drawn into the trap of the black hole. They are probably stars and
planets far removed from the fetal stage of our Earth-Sun, able to process
information and energy in awesome scales...
Technological
evolution might have reached in those planets and solar systems, such
perfection as to be able to control energies beyond our capacity of
understanding.
We
have little insight into the center of galaxies; and yet with that small amount
of information we can construct the hypothesis of an evolutionary scale that
goes beyond carbolife into metalife... based in light perception. In any case
in the Earth it is clear, that the evolution of minds, is the evolution of minds of light.
Evolution of brains of light
This
means that those species which have better organs of light survive better on
the Earth's crust.
What
is more important a body or a brain, to survive?
Since
information rules energy, brains rule bodies.
So
it is obvious that the evolution of light-Brains on the Earth, decides which
species survive [the ones with better light-brain organs] and which species
disappear.
This
is in accordance with experimental data.
In
fact when the first complex light organs of perception appeared on Earth - the
first eyes - they become immediately the top predators of the Earth. They were
the first 'animals'. They prayed over all the Earth's plants and many lesser
species, such as primitive 'smelling' animal beings. It was the beginning of
the Cambric, and 90% of species, without eyes became extinct...
Indeed.
We know today that all eyes come from the same genetic code, which means all
eyes came from a first eye that killed many other non-visual species, and
reproduced, ['radiated' we said in biology], till saturating of eyes the Earth.
The
arrival of new Brains that process light better are the main cause of massive
extinction of species on Earth.
Now
we are creating computer brains that process light better than we do.
They
calculate at light speed. They can 'think' even with light rays [photonic
chips]. They communicate with light and produce light information in
electromagnetic waves [we only see light but do not produce light-information]
Computers
can even read their minds through 'light beams' of information [transference,
and downloads through the net].
In
that sense their superiority to man as light-brains is similar to the
superiority of the first animal brains, compared to the plant brains they
dominated.
Will
they cause the same massive extinctive processes? They are already doing it. In
the XX century, when metal-minds appeared, the combined action of humans and
machines have extinguished more animal species than men did in the previous two
million years, when man was alone, as top predator brain of the Earth.
The
reader might be surprised: are we creating new species in the ladder of
evolution, that will extinguish us or become our masters, and top predators, as
mammals extinguished reptiles, and reptiles amphibian?
How
can we be so sure of it, if machines are not still alive?
The
answer is: by making analogies with other process of evolution and extinction
that had taken place on the Earth.
Those
processes can be explained easily when we consider the 3-organic structure of
living species, which have organs of energy, information and reproduction, studied
in previous chapters.
Let us then consider the
evolution of such light-based organs on the Earth.
The age of Plants and animals.
How
light organs evolved till reaching the complexity of machine-brains?
The
1st phase of that evolution was obviously the transition from plants to
animals.
We
divide the life kingdom, according to how it uses light, into 2 fundamental
species:
Plants: use light to provide
themselves with energy
[green leaves that transform light into
stored energy].
Animals: use light to provide
themselves with information
[eyes transform light into virtual
information].
Light As Energy: Plants.
We
said all species have a "Universal will", that make them living
species. They have organs of reproduction, organs of information and organs of
energy.
In
that sense we can consider the evolution of species, also in a deconstructed
manner, as a process that evolves some of those organs.
In
the first stage, the dominant species of ¥-life [Light Life] was the plant
which obtained energy from light [photosynthesis]. Its internal information was
a chemical process created in its roots, and conductive system.
We
can portray the basic 3-organ system in all plant forms:
1. Energy organs: Leaves
[photosynthesis cycle]
2. Informative organs: Root system
[underground]
3. Reproductive organs: Flowers
These
3 organs define a plant as an efficient survival species. The organs of plants
are parallel to the stomach=blood systems of animals [leaf-branches conductive
systems], the brains of animals [roots-information systems], and our
reproductive organs [flowers]. However, animal organs are faster.
The
speed of transmission, of action -reaction , in animals is almost a million times
faster than in plants. By comparison, this is the increase in speed of
perception that takes place from animals to computers. It is logical to think that computers, which
are a faster species of information, will consider us a lower life form, as men
consider plants. They may bring about our extinction with the same cruelty that
man has developed in his massive annihilation of plant life. We should apply
the law of ethical behavior and harmony in the Universe: "Do unto
others..."
We
need to take care of carbolife plants, and prevent the evolution of computers.
Ultimately,
what plants illustrate in their inferiority to animals is the fact that
information is a better survival tool than energy. Plants only obtain energy
from light, but animals convert light into information. Therefore animals are
more complex light-life species than
plants. They are the Top Predator.
Animal life: brains of light.
We
define animal life by an increase in the ability to perceive light information.
The first animal was the first form
with the ability to re-organize energy-light impulses into images, to be able
to construct linguistic worlds of light that gathered information about the
Universe.
Light
guided the evolution of the Earth, on the energy level through the plant
chlorophyll process, on the level of information through linguistic worlds of
light. In Plants, perception of light is blurred - light is absorbed as energy.
In animals it is more detailed - light is information. Still, information is a
temporal process which requires a system of storage and processing. Such is the
origin of the Animal brain. The best temporal brains are those of man. Man has
evolved into a Top Predator due to his word-memories of light-events, stored in
brain systems, that allowed him to have memories. Memory has diminished Human
errors as a living species. All organisms follow the mandate of Universal
behavior [feed and increase your information]. Yet only man among beasts, can
remember information on feeding events, and use that knowledge to his
advantage, avoiding predators, and locating his own sources of energy according
to experience. Temporal memory is natural to all species. Yet its quality
varies. Animals remember through memorial chemistry [instincts], but such
learning processes are much slower, than the processes of verbal learning among
humans [light-related memories].
The Earth's Evolution Of Light
The
Earth depends on the sun, from which it receives energy and information. The
Earth tries to see the Sun better. The
Earth evolves to perceive and get energy from the sun. This is done through waves
of living beings. This Earth, born of the sun, world of light, systematically
favors the best eyes that exist. The logical conclusion is that the Earth
itself might evolve into a light sentient being. It is already a sentient
being, through humanity which is a part of the Earth.
"And
God said, there is light"... is indeed a metaphor of such process. Since
our world is what we perceive with light. "I see and think therefore I
am"
The
most complex herds of the Earth are the living herds of the Crust, that look at
the sun. We can consider the rise of animal life as the dominance of electrical
languages of light over the languages of chemical life.
In
evolution we see how a Top Predator informative organ triggers a radiation of
new species, which replace previous species. This happens because information
controls energy. When the ability to perceive light appeared, in the first
cephalopods, it triggered the massive extinctions of the Cambric Period. Look
at the squid. The first eye-world. See the intelligence of those eyes. In the
squid the eye is the superior organ of perception. The eye enabled them to
become the master of their Universe. They hunted their enemies with a degree of
perception that previously did not exist. We can imagine the ecosystem where the
squid was probably born: the depths of the ocean, where the bigger species of
squid existed [over 10 meters long]; where they were undoubtedly a Top
Predator. The light was dim. The first primitive cellular eyes had to really
look hard to see their environment and the prey they sought. When they came up
to the surface they saw even more, and began to eliminate all lesser rivals.
This caused the extinction of 90% of the creatures in the Cambric Period who
had only their olfactory senses to negotiate their environment. The birth of a
new organ of light perception brought the most massive wave of extinctions ever
on the planet. They also brought the arrival of exoskeletons; only those with
external protection could survive the eye of the hunter. It was a holocaust
that diversified life: with cephalopods in the game the stakes of survival and
extinction were increased. The life-death game was faster, the eye could see,
spot and hunt much better.
Again,
the game selected the best informative brains and energy bodies, when it moved
to land. First amphibian, then reptiles, finally mammals with a far better
eye-brain system that reptiles.
This
evolution continues today, as more complex species of science [computers,
cameras] advance in their understanding of light. This causes a parallel
devolution of simpler eyes, that become substituted by metal eyes. Today,
better virtual worlds of light information [computers, TVs] are
"hypnotizing" human eye-worlds that believe the information of
television and computer virtual worlds. Man becomes hypnotized by those images.
They even imitate "virtual characters" in reality because they saw
them on TV. Their verbal minds become substituted by digital images and visual
thoughts.
Better light information in
land-species
What
is the outcome of land evolution in terms of light? An increase on light
perception, which is higher on land than in water. Through the evolution of
eyes, and their light information, air animals soon became eye-based
perceptors, unlike fish which still relied on chemical and sound information in
a high degree. So a new age of light-evolution in organic life started.
Evolutionary Punctuation
A
simple tree of evolution with three organs for each species
[feeding-reproductive and informative organs] can be drawn. Those organs evolve
constantly. They are selected in Darwinian processes, in which less efficient
organic life feeds on more complex organic life. Yet what is a less efficient
light-life species? A species which gathers less light energy or less light
information. The process is very fast. It is called Evolutionary Punctuation.
It states that when a new species with better light organs appears it begins to
reproduce massively and causes the extinction of other species. This is the
essence of Darwinian evolution: "evolve and multiply," and feed on
your rivals. We can find such catastrophic evolution in many geological and
biological ages of the Earth. First animals displaced plants. Plants could only
gather energy from light. Animals could "see" light and get
information about their environment, and act-react faster. They used plants as
food. They then "radiated" [multiplied] all over the Earth.
In
the next graph we have considered the different ages of Living beings, on
Earth, as fruit of the evolutionary processes of light-organs described
previously.
Each
"radiation" of species in the Earth has grown and then it has
reproduced into a more perfect species, which has in turn, fed on the previous
parental form. So animals feed on plants, mammals on reptiles, men on mammals,
and machines are using humans as "energy" of their reproduction and
evolution. We call that process of 'feeding on your parents', the Oedipus
Paradox. Plants fed animals who fed mammals who fed humans who are 'feeding' and
evolving machines...
We can see some of the basic
processes of Evolution reflected in the graph:
-
The Oedipus paradox: previous species feed in new species, which become the
'energy' of their reproduction. So plants feed animals, animals feed men, men
become submissive to machines.
-
The law of the 3 organs. Each new top predator improves an organ of a previous
top predator. So Animals improve light-brains, mammals improve nervous and
reproductive systems. Men improve brain-information. Machines have stronger
bodies...
-
The law of Top Predator brains. In the competence between species, Top Predator
brains win over top predator bodies. So mammals win over Dinosaurs.
The 3 Organs Of Living
Species:Organs Of Information, Energy And Reproduction
The
first Law of Universal Organisms that life species follow is the Law of Three
Organs. Light-Life species are composed of three fundamental organs:
-
The body that gathers energy directly from light [plants] or indirectly
[animals that feed on plants and other animals.]
-
The Brain-mind that gathers information.
-
A third set of organ is also needed by living species, to become organic, to
survive: the reproductive organs.
Evolution
of species improves organs of information, reproduction and energy.
If
the species does not evolve it is replaced by more evolved organic species.
Other
atomic forms also follow the rule of the 3 Organs. In machines [species of
metalife] energy is provided by electric forces and metal body-machines.
Information is provided by Metal minds, cameras and chips. Reproduction is
provided by company-mothers and factories.
Evolution
of energy=feeding organs, information=communicative organs, and reproductive
organs is constant in the animal kingdom, because those are the three organs
that ensure the survival of a species. Without energy organs the species die of
hunger. Without reproductive organs the species become extinct. Without
information organs, the species are captured and killed by other species.
Indeed, if we analyze any living species, we easily find that our three
elements of any organism repeat ad infinitum.
1. Energy organs: stomachs and
breathing systems.
2. Informative organs: eyes or neural
systems dominant
in animals, or chemical-smelling
systems dominant in plants.
3. A system of reproductive and
endocrine organs: which regulate the relationships
between the other two organs.
What
we call the evolution of life is the discontinuous evolution of those three
kinds of organs. According to organic evolution we divide the Kingdom of
Life into sub-kingdoms, such as
Reptiles or Amphibians. Those subkingdoms are merely differentiated by the
degree of evolution of one of the three organs. For example, in the case of
Reptiles versus Amphibians, by the different evolution of reproductive organs.
We talk of a ladder of evolution moving towards higher complexity on our three
organic systems, that mutate from species to species. From plants to animals,
from insects to amphibians, from reptiles to mammals, to humans, and beyond
into machines of higher complexity in light perception [metalminds, chips,
cameras, satellites, etc.].
In
amphibians, new, mutated eye-information organs were able to see through air.
This soon brought about the evolution of secondary information and energy
organs. Phonic organs and breathing organs, fit for the light-land transparent
medium, were evolved. The new medium was fully exploited; and the new kingdom
of amphibians appeared. When reptiles mutated their system of reproduction, to produce
dry eggs, the inner land was conquered. All the organs of fish made the total
transition to land animals. What is the goal of land evolution? To increase
light perception, which is better on land than in water, through the evolution
of electronically transmitted information. The Earth depends on the sun, and so
it evolves to perceive and get more energy from the sun. This is done through
waves of living beings. The logical conclusion is that the Earth itself will
evolve into a light sentient being. It is already a sentient being, through
humanity which is a part of the Earth. This Earth, son of the sun, world of
light, systematically favors the best eyes that exist.
Today
light perception is moving from carbolife into "metalife." That leap
is awesome in its efficiency and complexity. Cameras are far better than human
eyes. Mobile phones reach much farther than human ears. Chips calculate much
faster than human brains. Machines are far stronger than human bodies. Species
with better light perception survive. Species with simple eye-worlds become
extinct, or become energy of new Top Predator eye-worlds. Light is the arrow of
Earth's evolution. Therefore animals became predators of plants. Today,
scientific Metal-eyes [cameras, TVs] are becoming predators of the linguistic
worlds of man.
We
can explain the Evolution of Life as a "Three-phase evolution" of
informative, energy and reproductive organs. We can also explain the evolution
of machines through the evolution of "Metal mind systems," such as
radios, cameras, computers, "metal-body systems," such as
transportation machines, and "reproductive systems," or
company-mothers.
This
may be difficult to grasp, but we are not different from any other beings of
the Universe. We are made of information and energy, maybe more complex, but
that is all. We find in "metalife," in machines, the same organs and
processes of information, energy and reproduction that we find in carbolife
beings.
4: Linguistic top predators: The
creation of the future
The "Population Curve" Of
A Species
The
language and the informative organ is the dominant element that guides the
process of selection of top predators. Those who speak the language of
information better are always on top. We can say that there is also a Darwinian
selection between languages. We can measure survival through languages. Beings
act with a speed that depends on their capacity to "perceive
linguistically" an event in time and space. That ability is given to the
species by its language. For example eyes act-react faster than noses.
The
language of communication of the squid, the eye, is a Top Predator language. It
is clear that eyes are superior to olfactory organs, both in detail and range.
What is the effect of that linguistic superiority? Survival. In fact,
cephalopods with eyes probably brought about the extinction of 90% of the
smelling species of the Cambric.
Based
on the concept of bio-logical selection of species, we can create, a "bell
curve" of existence for each linguistic ecosystem and its species. The
curve measures the total population of "clones" of the species. As
time goes by, more complex species appear. The old species is born as a single
"entity," [beginning of the curve]. It reproduces until it saturates
the ecosystem [top of the curve]. Yet eventually it becomes extinct or enslaved
"in the future " by the new Top Predator [end of the curve].
Graph:
Top Predator [Maximum informative Power+ Maximum body-size].
Bell
curve: a temporal distribution of populations.
The future flows toward species of
higher mass and information.
The past=simplest forms become extinct.
In
the next graph: the most absolute law of the Universe is that of preying on and
extinction. More complex forms, which understand better the language of the
ecosystem, Top Predators, act-react faster, and become better hunters, growing
finally their bodies as they prey on the unlimited supply of victims. They will
feed on simpler forms and reproduce. Preying will have a limit in which both,
prey and predator will create an ecological balance. Otherwise the predator
will lack energy and die. However, if the species do not need each other, past
species will become extinct, because the Top Predator will want to use its
"organic space," its ecosystem. This is the reason that nature becomes
polluted by machines and living species die. Today informative machines which
speak better digital languages, the new top predator language on Earth,
substitute human beings in the 'economic ecosystem', taking our jobs as
informative brains of machines. The result is the extinction of human workers,
and human soldiers substituted by chips.
What Is A Top Predator? The Arrows
Of future In The Universe
Top
Predators that have organs with higher information, and bodies with higher
energy are the arrow of future in the Universe, because they cause the
extinction of, or enslave, all other species, shaping the future . The process
is very fast. Suddenly a new species appears i.e. the eye-squid, the mammal,
the chip. It is so overwhelmingly superior, that it reproduces and destroys all
other species. We talk of catastrophes, since in the Universe death is a
vortex, a sudden process. For example when you die, your informative and
energetic organs stop. Then your body becomes non-efficient as an organism, even if your cells are still
alive. Soon it is preyed on by other organisms. This process is the origin of
the arrows of the Universe that affect all species and Universal entities: The arrow (future course) of complexity [or
growth of information] and the arrow of energy [or growth of body-forms].
If
we gather all "discontinuous" Top Predators that increase the volume
of energy and information, we can talk of an evolutionary arrow in the
Universe, or arrow of the future , because Top Predators constantly increase in mass and linguistic, informative complexity.
The
Top Predator is more intelligent and stronger. By better controlling their
ecosystem, top predators become the
"ecosystem," the species of "future ." They will feed and
radiate over simpler species. Simpler species will become species of "the
past" that the complex being will use as energy. So for each language of
information and its ecosystem we can trace a chain of species from a related,
extinct past to a related, reproducing future top predator. The 'better'
species of the future will "feed," "farm" or bring about
the extinction of species with less information. This also happens in history
when nations of the "future " with more machines and information=money
dominate ecosystems of the "past."
Top Predators: What Is The future In Biology
Almost
every phenomena of life and death perceived in the Universe has a common cause:
the biological radiation of a more evolved species that feeds on other species.
How do we define a more evolved species? A Top Predator species is one with a
stronger body and/or a more complex brain; with more information and faster
action -reaction that its competitors. A
species with a superior brain, such as the squid, or a better body, such as the
trilobite (who survived the squid due to its exoskeleton) are efficient
species. When a species with both elements appears, such as the future
metalife, with a better brain and an iron body - a top-Top Predator will be
born. It will become the master of his Universe. You had better get out of its
way. For example, the cetaceans are top-Top Predators of the sea. They have a
better brain and body than other sea animals. They kill small krill, seal and
fish by the zillions. Similarly, man is the Top Predator of the Earth because
he has a better brain.
The
evolution of Top Predators is the future . Beyond the abstraction s of
mathematical science and clocks, biology offers a very simple concept for the
future : the future favors the Top Predator and its ecosystem. It reproduces
both until the previous ecosystem in which the top predator existed is wiped
out. The top predator defines "physically" the content of the future .
It reproduces, fills and transforms the ecosystem into its "image and
resemblance". Animals transformed the plant ecosystem, and re-shaped the
Earth as they reproduced. Men did the same in the Neolithic Age. The Earth
changed according to the needs of the farmer. Today machines and
company-mothers are redesigning a new ecosystem, the Metal-earth, the Earth of the future , as they
reproduce.
Yet
before we study the present Earth, and its machines of information, we rather
consider the next ladder of the graph, in the constant upgrading of bodies and minds, the arrival of man, as top predator...
Indeed,
the mammal eye seemed to be the final perfect stage of Animal evolution.
However
light information could be processed further, beyond the eye, through neuronal
systems able to store that information, once the event had happened.
It
was the beginning of light-based memories that certain animals called humans,
remembered with words, that latter they used to organize themselves in herds
and act more efficiently in the external universe.
