THE EVOLUTION, STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
6. This Book Transmits a Philosophy of Evolution from
Terrestrial Gene-pools to Individual Info-space.
This book attempts to present a philosophy of evolution. The
perspective is post-terrestrial, post-industrial, post-collective.
We assume (without extensive review or restatement) the facts current in (1976-1987?)
and theories of nuclear physics, astronomy, DNA genetics, ethology, experimental
imprinting, psycho-pharmacology, neurology and behavioral psychology.
Based on this consensus of scientific fact and on extensive experimentation with
expanded and accelerated states of consciousness in the widest range of set, setting
and social context, we present:
- A Bio-neural cosmology, a theory of the origin and evolution of life on and
off this planet.
- A Neuro-muscular politic, defining the basic genetic dimensions of the
freedom-control of mammalian muscular movement in territory.
- A Neurogenetic epistemology, a theory defining the subjective True-False and
the consensual Fact-Error of laryngeal-manual (L.M.) symbol systems.
- A Neurogenetic ethic, defining what is subjectively good-bad and
consensually right-wrong.
- A Neurosomatic aesthetic, defining the natural, somatic dimensions of the
beautiful.
- A Neurogenefic ontology, an anatomical-empirical theory of the eight levels
of reality, their evolution and interaction.
- A Neurogenetic teleology, defining the future course of individual and
species evolution, leading to longevity and galactic symbiosis with Higher forms of
life.
- A Metaphysiological Neuro-atomic eschatology, predicting the imprinting of
the nervous system on to atomic quantum information fields.
