During that period (the pan-homo split period) our ancestors have developed the capability to identify with their conspecifics. This may have favored the coming up of self-consciousness as the representation of one’s own entity as existing in the environment like conspecifics were represented (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://philpapers.org/rec/MENPFA-4__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!RN_xDWNqiBzr8h-T4mqpYkfr80xAY3NIJZFIyB31R4R4vu0E4hZmlfnrIc3Qx9pd18TdoKaUpqY3MthDJk5D_1U$" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">https://philpapers.org/rec/MENPFA-4</a>). But it has also introduced a huge anxiety increase coming from identifications with suffering or endangered conspecifics. It was key for our ancestors to limit the corresponding sufferings for pre-human evolution to continue. And it can be shown that favoring the suffering of others may have been (and still is) a way to limit that anxiety (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://philpapers.org/rec/MENSAH__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!RN_xDWNqiBzr8h-T4mqpYkfr80xAY3NIJZFIyB31R4R4vu0E4hZmlfnrIc3Qx9pd18TdoKaUpqY3MthD29Pteqo$" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">https://philpapers.org/rec/MENSAH</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">“Schadenfreude” may then be rooted in our human evolutionary nature, and intertwined with our performance of self-consciousness.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt;">As you say, the topic of the evolution of emotion is fascinating.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">And there is a lot to look at.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Best<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Christophe<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div><div><div style="border-width: 1pt medium medium; border-style: solid none none; border-color: rgb(225, 225, 225) currentcolor currentcolor; border-image: none; padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm;"><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">De :</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Fis <<a href="mailto:fis-bounces@listas.unizar.es" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">fis-bounces@listas.unizar.es</a>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>De la part de</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Stuart Kauffman<br><b>Envoyé :</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>mercredi 10 avril 2024 13:37<br><b>À :</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Eric Werner <<a href="mailto:eric.werner@oarf.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">eric.werner@oarf.org</a>>; Katherine Peil <<a href="mailto:ktpeil@gmail.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">ktpeil@gmail.com</a>>; 0 <<a href="mailto:stukauffman@gmail.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">stukauffman@gmail.com</a>><br><b>Cc :</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>"Pedro C.

I am fascinated by the entire topic of the evolution of emotion. Presumably the diversification of emotion along with morphology, behavior, and mind was typically of selective advantage. All have grown more complex and diverse in 3.8 billion years. Consider “Schadenfreude”, the pleasure at the pain of another. Why did that evolve? Is it a Gould Spandrel? I guess the ethologists know a lot. I am very ingnorant. As some of you know, Andrea Roli and I wrote, "A Third Transition in Science?”, J. Roy. Sci. Interface. We think we demonstrate that we cannot deduce the evolution of the biosphere or economy or culture. We do not even know what CAN happen, so cannot reason about these issues.

It is in this spirit then, that I make a criticism in the area of logic, mentioned by Karl, and referred to by you twice.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><i>Pace<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i>my friend Karl, my view is that a dichotomy cannot be made between emotion as contemporary (timeless?) and action that involves temporal flow. Emotion is not a static state of some kind, any more than information is. Your view of emotion would seem to be consistent with an internal flow between two<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">different but both complex states, one primarily emotionally colored and one or more others w,hich are less so. No dichotomy here either.

As followers of Pedro's initiative will remember (I hope), I have proposed an alternative to standard propositional of predicate logic that better reflects the properties and evolution of complex processes, in which category I would hope that all readers would place emotion<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Like emotion, information is not static but involves going back and forth between complex dynamic states - being informed and not being informed. Perhaps for both emotion and information one should focus on their becoming, rather than being.<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">In your work, and in that of some of the contributors to FIS, a process interpretation is possible but it has been largely latent or in my terms potentialized. It would be fantastic if the non-Boolean, non-computable aspects of emotion could help illuminate the corresponding aspects of information.

In whichever numbering system we differentiate the constituents of the usual, normal nourishment of the brain, we end up with one maximal number for the kinds of variants that can be cooked up by the biochemical kitchen of that individual.

Emotions are those states of the assembly which are at the same time, a temporal cross-section. Actions are sequences of states in which everything is contemporary. (Slicing the film into very thin snapshots.)<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">Which contemporary state has evolved from which different contemporaneous state and to which state of contemporaneous coincidences will lead to, is a complicated combinatorial mechanism.

The consequences of this small inner relative inexactitude are felt all through the system. Nature uses the fact, that if the total is known, and value of the last sudoku token is no more a question, then in a representation on the level of how many guesses till you solve the sudoku can simply do away with a whole unit and can reset the calculation in the fashion like astronomers reset to a new epoch.

Even the Himalaya of convincing evidence that the Sumerian way of counting works all right will be subverted by erosion due to periodic changes. Empirical science shows how Nature does it, adapting to and within itself due to requirements posed by periodic changes. This basic technique had been discovered by some protoplasma and is solidly based in laws of physics. The transmission happens by means of synapses in Nature. That what is being transmitted has been given the name of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>liaison</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>in a model depicting the interactions.
