CIVILIZATIONS: HISTORY IN SPACE: THE SUPER-ORGANISMS OF MANKIND
We compare the energy and information networks of a human organism and a nation, a historic super-organism as Quantic Spaces-Times fields: Both are limited by an external membrane, their skin or frontier and controlled internally by 2 ST physiological networks, a reproductive economic/blood system and an informative nervous/political system with centers in the human brain and the capital of the nation. Human, biological organisms have reached their evolutionary perfection following the Quantic Spaces-Times laws of survival through billions of years of evolution. But historic organisms are not well-designed systems, still in a process of evolution; so they often collapse in wars, according to those Quantic Spaces-Times survival laws.
1. History in Space. The 3 hierarchical planes of existence of man.
Men are the 3rd informative horizon of mammal evolution, an organic system with an over developed informative brain and new social languages that animals lack (words and digital languages), which allow us to evolve socially into 2 types of new macro-organisms: organisms made of human beings and natural networks of energy belonging to Gaia, and information belonging to History (words) or economic ecosystems, in which men and metal-species, machines, money and weapons, co-exist. Both, humans and machines are the cells of the social organisms of History and Economics, which can be studied as Non-AE sciences through 3 Quantic Spaces-Times scales of growing complexity:
- i-1: As Quantic Spaces-Times beings both, men and machines , are organic, atomic systems of carbon-life and metal that transform energy into information and vice versa.
- i: As individual beings, men are living organisms like any other animals on Earth, which exist according to the 3 ±1 ages of time. While they are structured in space by quantic micro-cells joined by 3 physiological networks, the energetic body, informative Head, and reproductive systems that enact the 3±1 quantic types of cyclical actions, energy feeding, information processing and reproduction, which conform the human ‘existential will’. Machines are also organic system, whose ‘will of existence’ is carried by ‘company-mothers’ that re=produce and evolve them informatively; and by consumers that feed them with energy and vitalize them as organisms of energy (cars, weapons) or information (TVs, chips) that enhance the TxE force of human beings.
- i+1: As a social being man is a cell of bigger organisms, born on Gaia the living skin of the Earth. So man performs different social cycles as a quantic cell=citizen of a historic super-organism, either a nation, a religion or a civilization, structured also as a Fractal Organism through its economic= reproductive system, informative=political and cultural networks, extended over an energetic, external world or geographical organic-space from where the culture extracts its temporal energy. While machines form part of economic ecosystems, like the USA, shown in the graph, where they enact symbiotic relationships with humans, who use machines to enhance their energetic or informative capacity, using cars, computers, etc. But machines also destroy humans, showing the second, Darwinian arrow of the Universe. So weapons kill human bodies and violent, audiovisual information destroy the social, loving, evolutionary messages that create human super-organisms.
2. Bio-history and bio-economics. The Non-AE analysis of human societies.
The Non-AE analysis of history and economics developed in this book is very different from AE-history and economics, which are the most subjective sciences concerned with the subject of knowledge itself, man, who according to the Galilean Paradox , considers himself the center of the Universe that he measures from his limited Quantic Spaces-Times perspective. As a result of that Aristotelian, arrogant vision of reality, caused also by the sequential, lineal idea that man has of time and his own future, as eternal, absolute, God-given, AE-History and Economics reject any biological or evolutionary approach to cultures and machines. Since man is ‘son of God’, machines, Nature and the Earth ‘have to be submissive species’ that will always obey our designs. Yet as long as we do not understand objectively in Quantic Spaces-Times terms History, Religion and Economics, any serious attempt to deal with the global problems our species faces will be inefficient. Since the objective Universe is ruled by very strict, biological laws of survival, evolution and extinction that we cannot invent.
In that sense Non-AE History and Economics belong to a wider science, Biology. Since both, human beings and machines, are organisms of energy and information that interact in symbiotic and destructive relationships; given the fact that metal, the atoms of which organic machines, informative money and energetic weapons, the 3 fundamental quanta of economic ecosystems are made, on the long term, pollute, destroy and kill the life Earth.
Departing from that distinction between both ecosystems, the ecosystems of carbon-life and History and the ecosystems of machines, the World around us change totally its meaning. Since now we distinguish 2 biological species made of different atoms, life beings and metal-systems, weapons, money and machines, which enact 2 different, symbiotic and destructive relationships; and create 2 types of super-organisms, Historic cultures, nations and civilizations, in which human beings are dominant; and Free Markets and economic ecosystems, in which company-mothers that reproduce machines, money and weapons, are the dominant species.
