Michael Levin: "The Bioelectric Interface to the Collective Intelligence of Morphogenesis"

"Words and Drugs Have the Same Mechanism of Action"

-Fabrizio Benedetti

Notes from video above:

High level information flows eventually have to impact the physics of whatever system you're talking about, and that interface between information and physics is where the interesting and deep question lie, and bio-electricity can help us. 

ie- The anatomical compiler (Draw the anatomy or animal form/function and it would compile that description into a set of stimuli that would have to be given to individual cells to get them to build exactly what you want. If you had the ability to do that it would communicate large scale anatomical goals to groups of cells. This is NOT something like a 3D Printer where you simply put the cells where you want them to be, this is not that. This is a communications device, it is a translator of your goals as the engineer or the worker in regenerative medicine to that of the collective at the cellular level. (Especially if you do a chimeric recombination of genetic materials to activate a specific feature of one of the two creatures from which the chimera has been constructed ie -Frogawattle) The axis of persuadability form the toolset.

Trophic Memory from Google AI (stored in each cell member of the cellular membrane collective or in the communicative medium between them?):

Trophic memory refers to the biological phenomenon where tissues or organisms retain a "memory" of previous injuries or environmental interactions, influencing future growth, regeneration, or structure. Primarily observed in deer antlers, this memory allows for the replication of trauma-induced shapes (like ectopic tines) in subsequent years.

Key details regarding trophic memory include:

Antler Regeneration Example: When a deer suffers an injury to an antler, a callus forms and heals. Even after the antler is shed, the following year’s growth will often reproduce a new, extra tine at the exact, remembered location of that previous damage.

Biological Mechanism: This suggests that the growth plate on the pedicle (on the scalp) maintains a physiological record of past trauma. Research suggests this may involve localized neural trophic centers or specific "centers of stimulation" within the frontal bone.

Broader Context: While famously associated with deer antlers, the concept relates to developmental biology, where cells, particularly in regenerative organisms like planarians, can retain epigenetic marks (histone, RNA) or structural memories from before fission or injury.

Trophic Factors in Brains: In neuroscience, "trophic substances" or factors (like Nerve Growth Factor) are molecules that support neuron survival, growth, and synaptic plasticity. They are considered vital in long-term neuronal changes, learning, and regeneration following brain injury.

Trophic memory bridges the gap between genetic coding and environmental experience, explaining how past physical experiences shape future morphology

Platonic Space - Storehouse of Forms/ Patterns Embedded in Algorithmic or Material Solutions to the Universe's Past Necessities?

from the Symposium Webpage:

"Platonic Space” refers to a structured, non-physical space of patterns, such as the properties of mathematical objects, and perhaps other, higher-agency patterns that we detect as forms of anatomy, physiology, and behavior in the biosphere. Thus, the contents of this space may inform (in-form) events in our physical world (constraining physics, and enabling biology). The concept of a space of specific information patterns that interacts with our world, but exists independently of it, is ancient. Recent work in a number of disciplines have made exploration of this topic timely, and I have decided to hold the first (to my knowledge) interdisciplinary symposium on this topic. The intent is not to hew close to the original conceptions of Plato and Pythagoras, but to use some of the deep ideas associated with these classical thinkers as a springboard for novel approaches to casual patterns across disciplines. We also hope to go beyond “emergence” as an empirically fruitful framework for understanding where novel patterns come from, and how the latent space of possibilities can be explored- Copied from thoughtforms.life

I Must Not Speak Your Language (Linguistic v. Material Differences)

Genesis 11 (New International Version)

The Tower of Babel

1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 

2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.

3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 

4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 

6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 

7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 

9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. 

From Shem to Abram

10 This is the account of Shem’s family line.

Two years after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he became the father[d] of Arphaxad. 

11 And after he became the father of Arphaxad, Shem lived 500 years and had other sons and daughters.

12 When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, he became the father of Shelah. 

13 And after he became the father of Shelah, Arphaxad lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.[e]

14 When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber. 

15 And after he became the father of Eber, Shelah lived 403 years and had other sons and daughters.

16 When Eber had lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg. 

17 And after he became the father of Peleg, Eber lived 430 years and had other sons and daughters.

18 When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu. 

19 And after he became the father of Reu, Peleg lived 209 years and had other sons and daughters.

20 When Reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of Serug. 

21 And after he became the father of Serug, Reu lived 207 years and had other sons and daughters.

22 When Serug had lived 30 years, he became the father of Nahor. 

23 And after he became the father of Nahor, Serug lived 200 years and had other sons and daughters.

24 When Nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Terah. 

25 And after he became the father of Terah, Nahor lived 119 years and had other sons and daughters.

26 After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. 

Abram’s Family

27 This is the account of Terah’s family line.

Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. 

28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth. 

29 Abram and Nahor both married. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milkah; she was the daughter of Haran, the father of both Milkah and Iskah. 

30 Now Sarai was childless because she was not able to conceive.

31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there.

32 Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.

Intelligence Development as a Life Process - The Grandmother (Menopause) Hypothesis

from Google AI:

The grandmother hypothesis proposes that menopause evolved in humans because post-reproductive women (grandmothers) increased their inclusive fitness by helping raise grandchildren rather than continuing to bear their own children, which becomes risky with age. This support (provisioning, care) ensures better survival for their genetic relatives. 

Key Aspects of the Grandmother Hypothesis: 

• Adaptive Evolution: Instead of being a mere byproduct of longer life, menopause is considered an evolved adaptation where, as women age, the costs of reproduction outweigh the benefits. 
• Inclusive Fitness: By aiding their offspring's children, grandmothers ensure that their own genes are passed down, even though their direct reproductive lifespan has ended. 
• Evidence: Studies of hunter-gatherer societies (e.g., Hadza) suggest that children whose mothers receive help from grandmothers are more likely to survive and thrive, especially after weaning.
• The "Grandmother Effect": Proximity to grandmothers has been associated with higher fertility in daughters and improved survival rates for grandchildren, providing empirical support for the theory. 

Challenges and Nuance: 

• Alternative Theories: Other theories exist, such as the "mother hypothesis" (focusing on the costs to the mother herself) or the idea that menopause is a byproduct of longevity rather than a directly selected trait. 
• Comparison with Primates: While many mammals, including other primates, do not live long after their reproductive years, the phenomenon of surviving long past menopause is seen in humans, some whales, and a few other species. 

The hypothesis remains a central, though debated, explanation in evolutionary anthropology for why human females live for decades after their reproductive years conclude.

Synarchism's Last Stand?

from Wikipedia:

Synarchism generally means "joint rule" or "harmonious rule". Beyond this general definition, both synarchism and synarchy have been used to denote rule by a secret elite in Vichy France, Italy, China, and Hong Kong, while also being used to describe a pro-Catholic theocracy movement in Mexico.[1]

Origins

The earliest recorded use of the term synarchy is attributed to Thomas Stackhouse (1677–1752), an English clergyman who used the word in his New History of the Holy Bible from the Beginning of the World to the Establishment of Christianity (published in two folio volumes in 1737). The attribution can be found in the Webster's Dictionary (the American Dictionary of the English Language, published by Noah Webster in 1828). Webster's definition for synarchy is limited entirely to "joint rule or sovereignty". The word is derived from the Greek stems syn meaning "with" or "together" and archy meaning "rule".

The most substantial early use of the word synarchy comes from the writings of Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (1842–1909), who used the term in his book La France vraie to describe what he believed was the ideal form of government.[2] In reaction to the emergence of anarchist ideologies and movements, Saint-Yves elaborated a political formula which he believed would lead to a harmonious society. He defended social differentiation and hierarchy with collaboration between social classes, transcending conflict between social and economic groups: synarchy, as opposed to anarchy. Specifically, Saint-Yves envisioned a Federal Europe (as well as all the states it has integrated) with a corporatist government composed of three councils, one for academia, one for the judiciary, and one for commerce.[3]

Rule by a secret elite

The word synarchy is used, especially among French and Spanish speakers, to describe a shadow government or deep state, a form of government where political power effectively rests with a secret elite, in contrast to an oligarchy where the elite is or could be known by the public.[4]

Pacte Synarchique

The Pacte Synarchique is a historical theory that the surrender of Vichy France was as a result of a conspiracy by French industrial and banking interests to surrender France to Hitler in order to fight Communism. The original Pacte was supposedly discovered after the death in 1941 of Jean Coutrot, former member of Groupe X-Crise. According to this document, a Mouvement Synarchique d'Empire had been founded in 1922 with the aim of abolishing parliamentarianism and replacing it with synarchy. A Vichy investigation[5] found no evidence for the Mouvement Synarchiste d'Empire existence. Most of the presumed synarchists were either associated with the Banque Worms or with Groupe X-Crise and were close to Admiral François Darlan the Vichy prime minister (1941–1942). Most historians agree that the Pacte was a hoax created by some French collaborators with Nazi Germany to weaken Darlan and his Vichy technocrats.[6]

Lyndon LaRouche

Lyndon LaRouche, leader of the LaRouche movement, described a wide-ranging historical phenomenon, starting with Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre and the Martinist Order followed by important individuals, organizations, movements and regimes that are alleged to have been synarchist, including the government of Nazi Germany.[7] He claimed that during the Great Depression an international coalition of financial institutions, raw materials cartels, and intelligence operatives installed fascist regimes throughout Europe (and tried to do so in Mexico) to maintain world order and prevent the repudiation of international debts.[8] LaRouche identified the former U.S. vice president and former PNAC member Dick Cheney as a modern "synarchist", and claimed that "synarchists" have "a scheme for replacing regular military forces of nations, by private armies in the footsteps of a privately financed international Waffen-SS like scheme, a force deployed by leading financier institutions, such as the multi-billions funding by the U.S. Treasury, of Cheney's Halliburton gang."[9]

from Google AI:

Nietzsche primarily develops the concept of will to power as the criterion for truth and value in his posthumously published notebooks, compiled as The Will to Power (specifically notes from the 1880s) and in Beyond Good and Evil. He argues that "truth" is not objective but a, perspectival tool used by the will to power to master reality. 

Key, specific locations and contexts include: 

The Will to Power (Notebooks/WP): In notes often cited as WP 688 and WP 1067, Nietzsche argues that the will to power is the fundamental drive, asserting that "This world is the will to power—and nothing besides!". In this context, truth is interpreted as a type of error that allows a particular species of life to survive and dominate, making the "truth" dependent on its power-enhancing value. 

Beyond Good and Evil (BGE), Section 13: Nietzsche challenges philosophers by asking why they desire truth rather than untruth, implying that the "will to truth" is actually a manifestation of the will to power. 

Thus Spoke Zarathustra: Nietzsche explicitly connects the concept to all life, stating, "Wherever I found a living thing, I found there the will to power" (Part 2, "Self-Overcoming"). 

Essentially, Nietzsche argues that what is "true" is simply what enhances a particular will to power.

Interpreting Art Through Its' Frame(s): Soros Realism and the Third Death of Art w/ Hans-Georg Moeller

from Wikipedia:

Soros Realism describes a type of post-socialist art. It was coined by Miško Šuvaković in "Ideologija izložbe: o ideologijama Manifeste" (2002) . The name comes from George Soros, who financed Soros centers for contemporary art in Eastern Europe.

Although Šuvaković did not originally use it pejoratively, its origin in Socialist Realism made it emblematic of the irony of renewed political funding of art, which censors by financing not forbidding.

Reflexivity and the Alchemy of Art  under a Post-WWII Open Society Consensus (the Capitalist Commodification of Art)

On Arthur Danto

A reflexive environment is one where everybody has to talk about a certain thing. That thing is going to be very polarizing, and there are either going to be one, or two, right ways to talk about it. Usually they're going to be diametrically opposed to one another, and that means it's a dialectical weapon. 

When George Soros famously shorted the the pound sterling in like '92 or whatever, which led to him writing "The Alchemy of Finance" where he said that "Alchemy is not interested in truth like the scientific method, it's interested in operational success." The method he said that they used to do the Alchemy of Finance was reflexivity. The idea is that you start jinning up an idea and make the idea become true because everybody starts talking about it and believing it in a particular way. So "the current thing" takes place in a reflexive environment (often Social Media).

On Walter Benjamin's, "Why the State Fears Divine Violence"

Shakespeare, "Hamlet"

To be, or not to be, that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause—there's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,

The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry

And lose the name of action.

Laufey!

Before the RNA World Hypothesis: The Protein Interaction World (PIW) Hypothesis

The Protein Interaction World Hypothesis and the RNA World Hypothesis

from Google AI:

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, and they are intrinsically linked to prions, which are misfolded proteins causing fatal neurodegenerative diseases (like Mad Cow Disease, CJD) by converting normal proteins into the disease-causing form. Research focuses on prion-derived peptides to understand how prions cause disease (neurotoxicity of fragments like PrP(112-126)) and to develop therapies, with some peptides showing promise in blocking prion formation or enhancing cellular clearance, revealing complex interactions between normal and abnormal protein fragments. 

What are Prions? 

Infectious Proteins: Prions are infectious agents made of misfolded proteins (PrPSc) that induce normal, healthy proteins (PrPC) to misfold into the abnormal, pathogenic form, creating a chain reaction. 

Disease Mechanism: This misfolding leads to the formation of insoluble aggregates (amyloids) in nerve tissue, causing cell death and diseases like CJD and Scrapie. 

The Role of Peptides 

Prion Protein Fragments: Peptides derived from the normal prion protein sequence (PrPC) can mimic the toxic effects of prions in the lab, helping scientists study disease mechanisms. 

Therapeutic Potential: Specific peptides, particularly those with cell-penetrating properties (CPPs) derived from the prion protein, have shown ability to: 

• Bind to and disrupt the formation of infectious prions (PrPSc).
• Redirect misfolding pathways to less toxic structures.
• Target the sequence responsible for neurotoxicity, like the AGAAAAGA motif, for potential treatment. 

Key Connections 

Primary Structure: The initial amino acid sequence (peptide chain) determines the protein's final shape. 

Abnormal Folding: The transition from normal (PrPC) to abnormal (PrPSc) involves a change in secondary structure, often forming a "cross-beta" amyloid structure. 

Research Focus: Understanding these peptide interactions helps develop treatments, as demonstrated by peptides that reduce PrPSc levels or prolong infection time in cell cultures, suggesting targeted peptide therapy is a promising avenue.

Complementarity: Reconciling the Tensor World of Space-Time w/ the Scalar/ Vector World of Matter

In physics, a scalar is a quantity with only magnitude (e.g., temperature, mass), a vector adds direction (e.g., velocity, force), and a tensor generalizes these, representing more complex relationships with multiple magnitudes and directions, with scalars as rank-0 tensors and vectors as rank-1 tensors. Tensors describe how physical properties (like stress or curvature) change across different directions, often represented by matrices (rank-2 tensors) or higher-dimensional arrays, transforming predictably under coordinate rotations.

from Google AI 1:

In modern physics, specifically Einstein's general relativity, the distinction is that the spacetime world is described by tensors, while the fundamental properties of matter are often described by scalar fields (among others). 

The Tensor Spacetime World

• Geometry as a Tensor: The physical world, in this framework, is a 4-dimensional manifold called spacetime. Its geometry and curvature are described by the metric tensor (a rank-two tensor).
• Gravity as Curvature: In general relativity, gravity is not a force but a manifestation of this spacetime curvature. The metric tensor determines how distances and time intervals are measured, which in turn defines how objects move in this curved space.
• Gravitational Waves: The way gravitational waves deform the fabric of space is purely tensorial in nature, with little room for scalar or vector components according to observations from detectors like LIGO. 

The Scalar Matter World

• Matter as a Source: Matter and energy are the sources of spacetime's curvature. The density and flux of energy and momentum are encapsulated in the stress-energy tensor (also a rank-two tensor).
• Scalar Fields: Fundamental properties of matter, like the mass of a particle, can be described by a scalar field (a rank-zero tensor). A scalar is a single value at each point in spacetime (e.g., temperature or height above sea level) that does not depend on the observer's coordinate system.
• Newtonian Limit: In classical physics, before Einstein, gravity was considered a scalar theory, where a gravitational force was derived from a scalar potential field dependent on mass. General relativity supersedes this, though it reduces to the Newtonian scalar theory in weak-field, low-speed limits. 

In summary, matter (described partly by scalar and other fields) dictates how spacetime (described by tensors, especially the metric tensor) curves, and spacetime tells matter how to move. 

from Google AI 2:

Bohr's Complementarity Principle states that quantum objects exhibit mutually exclusive but complementary properties (like wave-like or particle-like behavior, or position and momentum) that cannot be observed simultaneously; the experimental setup determines which aspect manifests, with both descriptions needed for a complete understanding, forming a core idea in the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It explains that reality at the quantum level isn't a single picture but a totality of phenomena, where focusing on one property inherently limits knowledge of its complement, as seen in wave-particle duality.

Key Aspects of Complementarity: 

Wave-Particle Duality: A quantum entity can act as a wave (spread out, interfering) or a particle (localized, distinct), but not both in the same measurement. 

Context-Dependent Reality: The measuring apparatus dictates which property (wave or particle) is revealed; the system's behavior isn't independent of the experiment.

Mutually Exclusive Properties: Measuring one property (e.g., position) precisely prevents simultaneous measurement of its complementary property (e.g., momentum), as described by Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. 

Complete Description: A full understanding requires considering both complementary descriptions, even though they seem contradictory, forming a more complete picture of reality than either alone.

Example: The Double-Slit Experiment 

When electrons pass through two slits, they create an interference pattern (wave-like). 

If detectors are placed at the slits to see which slit an electron goes through (particle-like), the interference pattern disappears, and electrons behave like particles.

Significance: 

Bohr saw complementarity as a fundamental limitation of human understanding and language when describing the quantum world, suggesting that classical concepts fail at this scale, necessitating this holistic, non-classical view.
