Campbell biology p1045: the detection and processing of sensory information and the generation of motor output provide the physiological basis for all animal behaviour… when animals are in motion, they are probing the environment through that motion, sensing changes, and using the information to generate the next action. This is a continuous cycle..
- philosophy has been based on static models of thinking and sensing for too long. The new philosophy will require an understanding of the biology underlying our thinking and action.
P1050 – spatial orientation set by the ear statocysts -> spatial orientation is not purely subjective., but is relative to the gravitational field the subject is in.
Biomimesis – importance of appearance in mimetic activities – display, camouflage. Use of bio-light effects by different species.
Conscious mimicry and intentional image projection – humans good at this. Ability to analyse this mimesis and separate it from the original function.
The military and projection, camouflage, deception.
DNA and RNA are codes and translation devices. They are not languages though, as they express nothing other than their own end products (proteins), which are not rearrangeable
