[Fis] THE ROOTS OF MODERN CIVILISATION--transformers

[Dr. Plamen L. Simeonov]

Caro Francesco, Nikita, cari tutti,

catching on (self-)consciousness! I had great feedback on this topic from
Guy Hatchard in another forum last night which I forward here with his
permission because it makes a nice link to what we talked about before. Guy
is also invited to our discussion here, so you can respond to him directly.
Dear Guy, please use the email address f*is at listas.unizar.es*
<fis at listas.unizar.es> to reach all on the FIS forum. I do hope you have
filled the form on the server you were sent a link to a while ago; please
check your spam box. (If not, please let me know.)

*The Origin of Life, Consciousness, and Gene Editing*


The general public has been educated to regard DNA as the molecule which
unravelled the mystery of the origin of life. When you hear that a mystery
is solved, there is a tendency to want to go home, put your feet up, stop
worrying, and start looking for something more interesting such as pizza
and chips or a good movie.


In fact, the suggestion that we know how life originated is not just an
oversimplification, it is a completely misleading suggestion. DNA does not
exist as a naked molecule. It only functions within the cell. Molecular
mechanisms in the cell read the information in the DNA and translate this
into hundreds of proteins used in the body for a myriad of functions. The
transcription and translation of genetic information is achieved via a
complex information-processing system utilizing many types of nucleic acids
(mRNA, tRNA, and others) and many specific enzymes. These form a tightly
integrated system of systems.


More than a hundred highly complex proteins are involved in translation.
The paradox therein has not escaped commentators, these proteins cannot
themselves be made except by DNA. The late British philosopher Sir Karl
Popper mused for example:


*“What makes the origin of life and the genetic code a disturbing riddle is
this: the code cannot be translated except by certain products of its own
translation.”*


In simple terms, the cell presents a chicken and egg paradox. It is
impossible to decide which came first—proteins or DNA. Cells present a
complex system of multiple interdependent parts and it is therefore hard to
imagine how the whole system came into being. It is a self-referral system
which functions holistically.


Self-referral systems point to fundamental principles and laws that
characterise the search for unified field theories of physics.


Let’s conceptually break down cellular functions:

   - DNA contains strings of information, like the software programme of a
   computer.
   - The information in the DNA is accessed by forms of RNA, aided by
   multiple enzymatic proteins and then conveyed to the Ribosome.
   - The Ribosome manufactures proteins, some of which are the same
   proteins which aid transcription and translation of DNA.
   - Crucially the whole system is integrated within the cell—it refers to
   itself.

Do we know any other systems which work in an analogous self-referral way?
Yes we do. Our everyday process of experience in which there is an
*observer*, a *process of observation*, and an *object of perception* all
integrated within our *consciousness*, our sense of self. In this analogy:

   - The DNA is like the observer—which is both a constant controlling
   source of information for the whole project of perception whose memory gets
   updated by events or experiences
   - The RNA is like the process of observation, it reads the DNA and it
   connects with and creates proteins.
   - The proteins are similar to the objects of our perception, they are
   very diversified and active like our environment, and they keep us alive.
   - Our abstract consciousness or sense of self and identity is a silent
   witness to the whole process and keeps it all together.

This three-in-one structure of consciousness is therefore a source
candidate for the origin of life. The more so, because one primary function
of our physiology as a whole seems to be to act as a platform for
consciousness to express itself.


Cells divide and thereby replicate themselves. Each new human life begins
with a single cell which grows into a complete person through replication.
Imagine a machine which makes lego bricks. Lego bricks are inanimate. Each
new lego brick is independent of every other lego brick. It takes the
consciousness of a person to assemble them into something meaningful.


Cells however are alive, as they divide and grow, each new cell is
connected with a whole system, each new cell is connected to the unique
identity of the person—their consciousness. Cells are bound together, not
just mechanistically, but they are part of a system that is alive in the
sense that a person is alive—creative, intelligent, self-aware, emotional,
and so on.


Our physiology has an extraordinary capacity to coordinate the activity of
trillions of diverse types of cells and structures within a single whole
system internally communicating while maintaining homeostasis and repair.
This also supports a consistent human identity which at the same time
communicates intelligently with other humans. This points to the
involvement of more universal abstract unified physical laws and also to
the primary role of consciousness in human life and physiology.


Consciousness is a very good candidate for the source of individual life
forms for other reasons. In the structure of natural law, more fundamental
explanatory principles are always more abstract. Consciousness is
undoubtedly the most abstract concept with which we are familiar.


The qualities which regulate cellular function are also analogous to the
functions of consciousness in other very important ways. In the cellular
environment and whole system these factors are crucial:


*Shape*—molecules have to fit into spaces to function and may also form
larger systems aided by quasi crystallization processes and molecular
folding. There are ‘jigsaw’ or ‘lock and key’ mechanisms whereby only
certain components of a molecule can bond with other molecules.


*Viscosity*—the cellular system is a ‘wet’ or fluid environment whose
characteristics must remain optimised for smooth transport of components.


*Navigation*—cellular components must be able to navigate their way around
the cell. This is no small task, there are 42 million molecules in the
average cell.


*Vibration*—there are vibrational modes of all molecules which are
modulated by their energy and the temperature of the cellular environment.
There are integrated energy sources in cells and feedback loops to maintain
this and other functions.


*Timing*—the sequences of events and their timing are crucial for cellular
function.


These processes bear some relationship with the physiology of perception
and decision-making. These could be the subject of future discussion, but
for the moment consider the complexity of the cell and its dependence on
its own self-referral integrated functioning.


The introduction, as happens with mRNA vaccination, of foreign genetically
active components could and does upset this integrated balanced
functioning. The introduced genetic material has functions that differ from
expected cellular functions, it has a different shape, carries different
information, bonds and folds differently, etc.


What does this mean in layman’s terms? This Christmas we had some guests
who used our clothes dryer. Unaware of its routine care, they failed to
empty the condensed water before using it, it overflowed internally and the
dryer stopped working. Yesterday I took it to bits, cleaned and dried it
out, and now it works again. Effectively I reset it to its factory
condition. Very often complex equipment such as computers have software
fixes to restore initial factory settings, which are used in case the
parameters or sequence of instructions have failed. However this doesn’t
solve all problems as every computer owner eventually finds out.


Cells have their own internal reset buttons. Every day hundreds of
thousands of repair jobs are carried out in each cell whereby the integrity
of DNA and a myriad of other crucial parameters are preserved. mRNA
vaccination actually aims to override these safety factors and retask some
cells to perform an entirely different function. You can imagine what can
go wrong. The cell may never recover its factory settings. It might, and
research now shows it often does, go on producing toxic spike protein and
sending it around the physiology for some time. We are left like a little
child, who having inquisitively torn off the arms of its favourite toy,
sits and weeps with disappointment when parental repairs are not possible.


Having investigated and proposed an intimate connection between the cell
and consciousness. It appears obvious that mRNA vaccination could put the
integrity and stability of our consciousness, physiology, survival, and
even our identity at risk. Certainly we are seeing an unprecedented range
of adverse effects proximate to mRNA vaccination extending to neurology,
cancers, and cardiac effects affecting organs, and organ systems. Such
effects appear in some cases to be related to the dispersion of inoculated
foreign genetic material in physiology carrying rogue instructions.


Health systems around the world are struggling to arrive at effective
responses to these adverse effects. A sensible diet, exercise, and rest are
always an aid to health conditions along with many other approaches known
to medicine, but the extent that these can facilitate the self repair of
deliberate genetic modification is unknown.


Because consciousness is fundamental to physiology, there are reasonable
grounds to suppose there are techniques of meditation, technologies of
consciousness, which can at least partially assist with recovery from
health conditions resulting from mRNA vaccination. I have discussed these
at length elsewhere in my book Your DNA Diet along with over 800 references
to research demonstrating physiological, psychological, and
sociological  benefits of meditation.


However, there is no evidence at present suggesting this or any other
approach will be curative for serious long term damage from genetic
modification. There appears, in the case of those who might be seriously
impacted by genetic dysfunction, to be no external reset button to rewind
the clock of gene editing. There are no known magic bullets. Any possible
efficacy concerning recovery would first have to be assessed by research.


The main point I want to make in this article is to emphasise the extreme
risks of genetic manipulation. Nature’s designer went to great lengths to
place the cell and especially the cell nucleus off limits to interference
and modification. It is at the core of life and its perpetuation via
reproduction. Nature similarly ring-fenced the nucleus of the atom for very
good reasons. If we were unsure in any way before the pandemic about the
safety of gene editing, there should be no doubt now. It should be off
limits. Its continued use is an unfolding catastrophe.


At GLOBE.GLOBAL we are calling for Global Legislation Outlawing
Biotechnology Experimentation.

>>>>> Vi debbo con ritardo (perché avevo superato le tre mail settimanali
>>>>> prescritte) due brevi risposte e l’integrazione di poche parole inerenti
>>>>> esclusivamente alle cose di mia pertinenza o conoscenza e relative a quanto
>>>>> ho scritto il Il 3 gennaio 2023, alle 22:59 e il 7 gennaio 2023 alle
>>>>> ore 18.18.
>>>>>
>>>>> - Jerry tu, fra l’altro, concludi il tuo ragionamento così: «Non
>>>>> capisco il ragionamento di Prigogine che viene citato circa le"strutture
>>>>> dissipative" di Ilya Prigogine che creano ordine (neg-entropia) dal
>>>>> disordine (entropia) attraverso fluttuazioni o instabilità. COME
>>>>> “attraverso fluttuazioni o instabilità” è correlato al concetto di
>>>>> spontaneità. Ad esempio, in che modo il concetto di fluttuazioni si collega
>>>>> alla vecchia economia e quali concetti aggiuntivi collegano le fluttuazioni
>>>>> alla “ Nuova economia”?».
>>>>>
>>>>> Per rispondere a queste domande ci vorrebbero molte pagine che non mi
>>>>> sono consentite. Quindi mi limito a ricordarTi quel che scrive I. Prigogine
>>>>> ne *La Nuova Alleanza* (PBE, Torino, 1993):
>>>>>
>>>>> Capitolo quinto-I tre stadi della termodinamica- 3*. Lontani
>>>>> dall’equilibrio. Le strutture dissipative* (…) La termodinamica
>>>>> classica ci fornisce il concetto di “struttura di equilibrio”, come i
>>>>> cristalli. Le cellule di Bènard sono pure esempi di strutture, ma di natura
>>>>> assai diversa. Questa è la ragione per cui abbiamo introdotto il concetto
>>>>> di strutture dissipative. (…) Qui la dissipazione dell’energia e della
>>>>> materia (entropia) diventa in condizioni lontane dall’equilibrio, fonte di
>>>>> ordine (neg-entropia). (…) Le strutture dissipative corrispondono ad una
>>>>> forma di organizzazione super-molecolare. (…).
>>>>>
>>>>> Capitolo sesto-L’ordine per fluttuazione (…). «Per dirlo in termini
>>>>> antropomorfici: lontano dall’equilibrio la materia comincia a “percepire il
>>>>> suo ambiente (…). Lontano dall’equilibrio le fluttuazioni ci permettono di
>>>>> usare le differenze dell’ambiente per produrre differenti strutture. Una
>>>>> volta di più vogliamo sottolineare l’importanza essenziale delle condizioni
>>>>> di lontananza dall’equilibrio: “comunicazione” e “percezione” sono le
>>>>> parole chiave del nuovo comportamento della materia lontano
>>>>> dall’equilibrio» (pp. 148 e 170-71).
>>>>>
>>>>> Aggiungo o ricordo che la comunicazione prevede la possibilità che
>>>>> l’informazione sia talora definibile come entropia e come neg-entropia (e
>>>>> quindi inversamente proporzionale all’entropia), ciò dipende dal fatto che
>>>>> nel primo caso l’informazione è intesa solo come misura (in termini di bit)
>>>>> di probabilità di un evento all’interno di un sistema-fonte equiprobabile e
>>>>> nel secondo caso come informazione già selezionata, trasmessa e ricevuta,
>>>>> sovrapponendo alla fonte-sistema equiprobabile un s-codice che la riduce,
>>>>> riempiendola o svuotandola di significato semantico.
>>>>>
>>>>> La vecchia economia di queste cose non s’è mai occupata, mentre la mia
>>>>> nuova economia è disseminata in dozzine di libri ai quali non posso fare
>>>>> altro che rinviare, con la modestia di sempre.
>>>>>
>>>>> -Joseph, tu mi dici che «il quadro di Prigogine è molto incompleto È
>>>>> ciò che accade vicino all'equilibrio nel processo mentale, dove i
>>>>> livelli energetici delle strutture sono vicini tra loro, che è importante
>>>>> quanto dove sono separati se non di più. Quanto al *cambiamento*,
>>>>> tutto il mio sistema logico-filosofico si potrebbe chiamare *Logica
>>>>> del Cambiamento*».
>>>>>
>>>>> Non è meglio chiamare *armonia*, quello che tu chiami equilibrio?
>>>>> L’equilibrio è statico, senza vita, cadaverico sia in senso fisico o
>>>>> metaforico. Difatti, quanti in economia si sono incaponiti a fondare questa
>>>>> scienza sull’equilibrio ottimale e unico l’hanno privata di qualsiasi
>>>>> consistenza teorica. E poi, permettimi di sottolineare anche l’importanza
>>>>> del *cambiamento della logica* accostandolo al libricino di hegel
>>>>> sulla Scienza della logica.
>>>>>
>>>>> - Infine, Plamen in data 7 gennaio 2023 alle ore 18.18 ti ho mandato
>>>>> una brevissima mail che si conclude così: «queste tre radici,
>>>>> telegraficamente espresse, confluiscono nella capacità-virtù del
>>>>> discernimento del bene e del male». Ora esprimo meno sinteticamente questa
>>>>> conclusione: «(…) confluiscono nella capacità virtù della coscienza che
>>>>> opera il discernimento del bene e del male scegliendo il primo v’ha
>>>>> la con-divisione della civiltà, scegliendo il secondo v’ha la divisione
>>>>> dell’inciviltà».
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> Dear Jerry, Joseph and Plamen,
>>>>>
>>>>> I owe you late (because I had exceeded the prescribed three weekly
>>>>> emails) two brief replies and the addition of del male scegliendo il
>>>>> primo v’ha la con-divisione della civiltà, scegliendo il secondo v’ha la
>>>>> divisione dell’inciviltà».a few words relating exclusively to things
>>>>> of my relevance or knowledge and related to what I wrote on January 3,
>>>>> 2023, at 10:59 pm and on 7 January 2023 at 6.18 pm.
>>>>>
>>>>> - Jerry you, among other things, conclude your reasoning like this: «I
>>>>> don't understand Prigogine's reasoning that is quoted about Ilya
>>>>> Prigogine's "dissipative structures" that create order (neg-entropy) from
>>>>> disorder (entropy) through fluctuations or instability. HOW “through
>>>>> fluctuations or instability” is related to the concept of spontaneity. For
>>>>> example, how does the concept of fluctuations relate to the old economy and
>>>>> what additional concepts relate fluctuations to the 'New Economy'?
>>>>>
>>>>> To answer these questions it would take many pages that are not
>>>>> allowed to me. So I limit myself to reminding you of what I. Prigogine
>>>>> writes in La Nuova Alleanza (PBE, Turin, 1993): Fifth chapter-The
>>>>> three stages of thermodynamics- 3. Far from equilibrium. Dissipative
>>>>> structures (…) Classical thermodynamics provides us with the concept of
>>>>> “equilibrium structure”, such as crystals. Benard's cells are also examples
>>>>> of structures, but of a very different nature. This is the reason why we
>>>>> have introduced the concept of dissipative structures. (…) Here the
>>>>> dissipation of energy and matter (entropy) becomes, in conditions far from
>>>>> equilibrium, a source of order (neg-entropy). (…) Dissipative structures
>>>>> correspond to a form of super-molecular organization. (…).
>>>>>
>>>>> Sixth chapter-Order by fluctuation (…). «To put it in anthropomorphic
>>>>> terms: far from equilibrium, matter begins to "perceive its environment
>>>>> (...). Far from equilibrium, fluctuations allow us to use differences in
>>>>> the environment to produce different structures. Once again we want to
>>>>> underline the essential importance of the conditions of distance from
>>>>> equilibrium: "communication" and "perception" are the key words of the new
>>>>> behavior of matter away from equilibrium» (pp. 148 and 170-71).
>>>>>
>>>>> I add or recall that the communication provides for the possibility
>>>>> that information can sometimes be defined as entropy and as neg-enropy (and
>>>>> therefore inversely proportional to the entropy), this depends on the fact
>>>>> that in the first case the information is understood only as a measure ( in
>>>>> terms of bits) of the probability of an event within an equiprobable
>>>>> source-system and in the second case as information already selected,
>>>>> transmitted and received, superimposing an s-code on the equiprobable
>>>>> source-system which reduces it, filling or emptying it of semantic meaning.
>>>>>
>>>>> The old economy never dealt with these things, while my new economy is
>>>>> disseminated in dozens of books to which I can do nothing but refer, with
>>>>> the usual modesty.
>>>>>
>>>>> -Joseph, you tell me that«the Prigogine picture is very incomplete. It
>>>>> is what happens near equilibrium in the mental process, where the energy
>>>>> levels of the structures are close to each other, which is as important as
>>>>> where they are separated if not more. As for change, my entire
>>>>> logical-philosophical system could be called the Logic of Change».
>>>>>
>>>>> Isn't it better to call harmony, what you call balance? The balance is
>>>>> static, lifeless, cadaverous in both a physical and metaphorical sense. In
>>>>> fact, those in economics who have made a point of founding this science on
>>>>> the optimal and unique equilibrium have deprived it of any theoretical
>>>>> consistency. And then, let me also underline the importance of the change
>>>>> in logic by comparing it to Hegel's little book on the Science of Logic.
>>>>>
>>>>> - Finally, Plamen, on 7 January 2023 at 18.18 I sent you a very short
>>>>> email which concludes as follows: «these three roots, expressed
>>>>> telegraphically, converge in the capacity-virtue of discerning good and
>>>>> evil». Now I express this conclusion less succinctly: «(…) virtues of the
>>>>> conscience which operate the discernment of good and evil flow into the
>>>>> capacity by choosing the first there is the sharing of civilization,
>>>>> choosing the second there is the division of incivility ».
