use "wiredbrain" which is not limited in content therefore is non-linear and not fixed in time or space.

- Communications, media, the nature of work and the wealth of nations.

Human Evolution was for 300,000 years in troops - where everyone knew each other, their names and the relationships. Any animal behavior in their packs, troops, herds and their breading behavior is almost impossible to change.

The few species that became domestic have patterns of status and "pecking orders" that allow humans to "implant" themselves as dominant and in control. Most species will not become domestic after thousands of years of efforts. Zebras do not act like horses, Camels remain nasty, most animals are subject to panic and some will not bread in zoos. Humans have evolved with the same kind of behavioral "groves". Social conditions that fit the groves of human psychology and social-biological habits (Edward O. Wilson)work better that conditions that don't. "Human" urban conditions push humans beyond the breaking point. Stable organizations must use "group dynamics" as forms of extended families and clans, troops and tribes to form nations.

The functions of any society, group, class, school, business, is:

1.) Effective conflict resolution

PATHOS ( feeling ) good rather than nasty
2.) rational effective decision making

LOGOS - if people feel OK

They can behave more reasonably
3.) harmonious economic redistribution ( synergy )

ETHOS - shared values and goods - not socialism but rational welfare policy - makes one and two possible - Capitalism as Greed is dysfunction - but so is free for nothing socialism

4.) better technology ( the result of one, two and three ) plus
5.) police and/or military power ( law and order )
6.) large and productive territories by way of the the growth of US as more and more others are included as US and less defense from them as less and less outsiders are THEM. Good Religion and Politics should allows for more inclusion less exclusion. All religion is not good, all values are not right or useful, all politics is not bad, all education is not useful, all business is not greedy, all women, blacks, Jews, et al is not anything. Prejudice is not a rational guide to social or personal wisdom.

The inclusion of more and more people and their differences allows for innovations, freedom of expression, democracy, freedom and

7.) integration of smaller groups into larger wholes -

The Politically correct visions of left and right often miss the fundamentals of social history and science.

The right forgets the critical role of the "whole" and the left the requirements for standards and clear returns on investments, where cost and benefits depend on individual achievement motivation to go faster, further and higher. Such motivation is best done in "collectives" families, groups, packs, tribes, schools, factories, political parties, churches, and other human

life forms.

LIVING.HTM

The the general systems model is from biological systems called Autopoiesis, are self-organizing, reproducing, evolving patterns of interactions of Dissipative feedback loops within and among living things such as the stock market, families and states. "Humberto Maturana"

Physical systems called Dissipative Structures - Dissipative Structures are patterns of non-linear forms created in systems far from equilibrium such as Benard cells, tornados, lasers and living things such as the U.S. Congress and Microsoft. "Llya Prigogine"

This All life on Earth today derived from common ancestors.

The first to evolve - yet the last to be studied in detail - are bacteria. Scientists have now discovered that bacteria not only are the building blocks of life, but also occupy and are indispensable to every other living being on Earth. Without them, life's essential processes would quickly grind to a halt, and Earth would be as barren as Venus and Mars.

Far from leaving microorganisms behind on an evolutionary ladder, we more complex creatures are both surrounded by them and composed of them. New knowledge of biology alters our view of evolution as a chronic, bloody competition among individuals and species. Life did not take over the globe by combat, but by networking. Life forms multiplied and grew more complex by co-opting others, not just by killing them. In the first two billion years of life on Earth, bacteria - the only inhabitants - continuously transformed the planet's surface and atmosphere and invented all life's essential, miniaturized chemical systems.

Their ancient biotechnology led to fermentation, photosynthesis, oxygen breathing, and the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into proteins.

It also led to worldwide crises of bacterial population expansion, starvation, and pollution - long before the dawn of larger forms of life. Bacteria survived these crises because of special abilities that other life forms lack and that add whole new dimensions to the dynamics of evolution. First, bacteria routinely transfer their genes to bacteria very different from themselves.

The receiving bacterium can use the visiting, accessory DNA (the cell's genetic material) to perform functions that its own genes cannot mandate. Bacteria can exchange genes quickly and reversibly.

Unlike other life forms, all the world's bacteria have access to a single gene pool and hence to the chemical prowess of the entire bacterial kingdom. This extreme genetic fluidity makes the very concept of species of bacteria meaningless.

The result is a planet made fertile and inhabitable for larger

For that great cross-section of the populace who have little or no knowledge concerning the field of microbiology, it might seem that those who study algae, slime, bacteria and simple plant life are out on a limb by themselves, so to speak. And seemingly, this was exactly where Lynn Margulis placed herself when she commenced to contend with the tradional theories of cell evolution.

Looking for life in all the wrong places

brendy@cs.brandeis.edu I created a topic on Excite (advances in Artificial Intelligence on the

index page), and added a page (intelligent living systems) to your

By Kevin Kelly Clockwork logic-the logic of the machines-will only build simple contraptions. Truly complex systems such as a cell, a meadow, an economy, or a brain (natural or artificial) require a rigorous nontechnological logic. We now see that no logic except bio-logic can assemble a thinking device, or even a workable system of any magnitude.

Biocompatible polymers and inorganic, structural materials, and their interaction with molecules of biological importance:plastic forms itself into complex pattens creating order from chaos: Now, biologists have a new perspective from which to tackle the question of virus self-assembly. Mathematical research suggests that sets of simple rules, which define the way an individual protein can stick to another, will automatically lead to the kinds of virus structures that biologists observe.

http://www.soundprint.org/sn_edpik/ls_1.htm Now, several research groups are vying to spin the first artificial spider silk, a feat that requires a three-pronged approach, says Jelinski. One must determine the fiber's molecular architecture, understand the genes that yield silk proteins, and learn how to spin the raw material into threads.

http://live.excite.com/News/970409/23.NEWS-GALILEO.html Delaney said he was "very excited" by Galileo's pictures. "

The bottom line is, it's about life.

The discovery of life on another planet will surpass anything that has ever taken place in human history," he said. He added that volcanic activity not only sustained life but encouraged it, saying when a volcano erupted under the ocean on Earth it caused bacteria to "bloom at a massive level." In an effort to bolster their life-in-outer-space theory, scientists and engineers from around the world were meeting in Pasadena on Wednesday and Thursday to discuss an exploration of Lake Vostok, a subglacial lake under the ice in Antarctica which they believe has conditions similar to Europa's sea.
