Mystery of Micro area
Part-II - The World Built from Sensory Organs
Why did life activation come from the aggregate of matters? Resolving this question is an issue that we must solve as a human in the future. The reason is that it is not by accident that life was born in this universe, but I think that there is a necessity for life to lead from simple being to humans accordingly. If so, we will be able to understand the meaning of the existence of intelligent beings in the universe. We still cannot cross the gap between matter and life being. It is not much enough intelligent for us to understand the truth of matter. It is also true that our brain (including our scientific knowledge) is not yet fully developed. If you cannot explain the life occurrence by current science theories, they may have some problems with the basic idea. If misinterpretation is in the basics of matter in the course of the development of science, the accumulation of the wrong knowledge may behind within our recognition of the brain. At the present human stage, we cannot find the evidence that the evolution of life has already ended, so that it will continue to evolve. Let us think here the analysis of the present our situation based on the prediction that the functions of the cerebrum will evolve and will gradually proceed to elucidate.
In order for organisms to adapt to the environment and continue to surviving, it should have been important to enhance the functions of the sense organs that recognize what is around. The functions and structures of sense organs such as vision, hearing, touch and smell are almost similar to mammals with different degrees, and primates are not so different from humans. When we see and listen to something, we recognize in our brain after collecting through the nerve fiber receiving from the sensory organ, because we identify the object from the information reassembled in relation to the relevant memory. How an organism interprets information obtained from a sense organ is an important function that separates life and death when securing food for survival and avoiding danger. Organisms survive through trial and error on the best path, evolving with complicated functions and structures.
Before getting brain as an organ, living creatures prioritize the survival of the species and act through stimuli and responses, and learn from outcomes. As the brain develops, nerve fiber bundles rebuild their relationships and judge their behavior from information obtained from sensory organs. In humans, we have secured the ability to associate freely from the relationships stored in our memories, and have expanded the relationships as thinking. Even so, when observing in front of the object, we recognize as the fixed object reconstructed the related knowledge in our brain, which have learned and accumulated in the memory, through information from sensory organs. Once the concept as the object has fixed in our brain, it organizes such as excluding exceptions beyond its scope. Still more, we continue to reconstruct the memory obtained from the sense organs when being corrected with the knowledge learned from education and our environment. Even when we learn from books and schools, we also reconstruct in the brain via our sensory organs. The world we recognize in our brains is unquestionable as it is real world, however, it depends on both the information from our sensory organs and the knowledge we have experienced. We assume it is real what flexibly construct in our brain.
When we rephrased the diverse nature of the object with one single name, we think that it has solved with that, and we do not think others. For example, you hold your hand to eat an apple for a snack. You recognize in past time learned the color, smell and taste of eating as plant fruits, and fix the target as an apple as one concept. Even though there are many kinds of apples in color, taste and size, you look at the object recognized as the same fruit, and you are convinced that it is an apple. However, that fruit constitutes a part of life evolution, and the apple species has undergone various evolutionary chains until it becomes a genus Malus in the family Rosaceae, also the body turns from a seed to a tree, and flowers bloom and fruits produce. For us, now, an apple is just one food, and we do not think the life evolution of an apple. When we eat, we take apples as food, when we draw pictures an apple is the subject, and it is even like a target of a bow and arrow in a story of William Tell. What I would like to focus on here is our thinking method for one matter.
Here, the same dozens of atomic substances constitute the body of both an apple and humans. Those substances circulate through life on the earth. When a substance is inside a living thing, it contributes to life to be involved as autonomous reactions to support living activation. However, when it comes out of the living thing, it returns to the normal substance. An organism is a structure with tissue, but the substances that make it up (fructose, proteins, atoms that make up them) are the same as substances whether inside or outside the organism. So why can they do life activities in vivo though they are the same mass of substance? In the theory of science we have learned, the basic idea of matter does not take into consideration the source of life.
Atoms are basic substances we can actually observe in the micro domain, and they consist of electrons and protons. However, what is smaller and called elementary particle is a statistical guess and is still only a theoretical hypothesis. The present theory cannot explain the way in which the aggregate of substances combine to make the proteins that make up living organisms and that leads to the cells. The fact that it always exists in life evolution, that is, the phenomenon of making its composition complicated, does not seem to be possible only by analyzing the matter in detail, though some strange force should be working along that complicating direction. I think why it is because human being is a part of life and it is not possible to see the phenomena of life from the outside at the present stage.
Humans are organisms that conform to the basics of biological evolution, which the brain recognizes by the limited information based on sensory organs. In other words, the sense organs efficiently select the range of information necessary for life activities and link them to survival behavior. Life activities make the brain designing to prioritize survival and maintenance of species. The function of reproduction is an important function in order to leave a successor even for us humans. Human beings have established language communication so that we can share what we are thinking about in a group, and have gained the concept of common awareness or objectivity. However, since our brain recognizes information from the sense organ by means of the purpose which making our survival advantageous, the system characteristic that prioritizes the efficiency of living makes distortion possible. It is a big possibility that we have not seen the real facts but see only what we want to see, like an optical illusion. For example, a person who does not know an airplane sees it flying in the sky and describes it as the mythical monster Garuda being true.
As an objective observation, we have some limitation within the range that the sensory organs gradually evolved and secured the functions necessary for survival. In other words, current human species have the restriction by the characteristics of brain recognition involved the sense reception, which includes the learned functions to bend the outside world conveniently and delete unnecessary information. Objectivity or reproducibility is the shared result that the humans have accumulated knowledge, which we have learned in our brains included solution and deletion, so that it should be unclear whether it is an absolute truth. I would like to add the condition limited to the range that historically accumulated knowledge that humans have recognized in the brain from the sense organs.
The formulas and theories we have learned in mathematics and physics only describe within the limits of the world we can see. Formulas and rules always have conditions to hold. In other words, the events that we can observe are just the events that the brain recognizes from the information of the sense organs by cutting out a part of the phenomenon within the passage of time in three dimensions, which we can see. Even computer programs assemble under restrictive conditions including statistical errors based on mathematical formulas and algorithms. A rule in the results applied with an experiment is what we could see the same trend that the formula shows. Certainly, it is effective for products of industrial development that the result of formulas can be predicted and reproducible. It is useful and effective in the sense of the development of tools as far as we can confirm as direct perception from senses in the space in which humans live. However, in the micro domain where the structure and reaction process cannot be seen, verification of hypotheses based on mathematical expressions and theories requires consideration that the human perception from sense organs is limited in space and time, in addition to confirmation of the experimental environment and conditions. It is only an illusion that the theories that have only relation with “three dimensions and time” can describe everything in the universe. The truth of science is likely to expand the scope of experimental demonstration each time.
The current concern is that the sensory organs and brain systems that make up the present human perception are not deep enough to recognize the mysterious force that carry the direction of life evolution. Can we identify the influence beyond the range that our senses recognize? Regarding to human ability, there should have been various abilities that produced and disappeared in the era of hundreds of thousands of years of radiation, and they have fixed now. The force that works for evolution has selected and transmitted to the successor for long time. The only thing that seems to be true is that at this point human beings have developed cerebrum and stepped into the realm of the mind, spiritual area. In the way of life has evolved to become increasingly complex, it has begun to step out of the realm where sensory information dominates, beyond the restraint of giving priority to survival. Today we can imagine the world beyond time and three dimensions. An organism that sees only information by the sensory organs linked with individual consciousness can only know things that change with time. However, consciousness from the outside of the dimension may be visible all the time in an instant. The force that influences the evolution of life, I think it as "Consciousness of Life", it interferes with the development of structures and functions of living things, and now makes human being thinking. Life has made the spirit domain reveal, and will continue to make it more complex in the future.
