THE PREMISE. “Theory of Communicative Nature. Living nature is structured and organized by language and communication within and among organisms.” A greatly overlooked commonality that should be a part of every definition of life. https://lnkd.in/e3YfQQZ View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE for this and next weekend features and article entitled Biocommunication and natural genome editing by G Witzany, a linguistic scholar with an expertise in biology. This article offers an additional mechanism for evolution by mutation, suggesting a mechanism by viral gene editing of the host. View in LinkedIn

MONKEY-ROBOTIC ARM. "In 2003, Dr. Nicolelis’s team proved that monkeys could use their thoughts alone to control a robotic arm for reaching and grasping." https://lnkd.in/dSauWYc View in LinkedIn

META DNA. “Do codes code themselves? What and where are coding agents? This hidden “meta-DNA” has been predicted as being necessary to explain higher order functions such as combination, recombination, control and integration of large-scale structures of the chromosome.” https://lnkd.in/e3YfQQZ View in LinkedIn

MONKEY TO MACHINE. "In 2000 Nicolelis and his colleagues described how they had reliably translated the raw electrical brain activity of an owl monkey named Belle into signals that successfully directed the actions of robotic arms based both at Duke and at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology lab 600 miles (965 kilometers) away in Cambridge, Mass." https://lnkd.in/dW64guv View in LinkedIn

FULL INTEGRATION NOT JUST CHUNKING. “However, this does not involve “merging”, “fusion”, “incorporation” of genetic material, but it is only explainable through numerous enzyme proteins that are sufficiently competent to conduct highly complex text-processing, and RNAs that have similar abilities.” https://lnkd.in/e3YfQQZ View in LinkedIn

EXTERNAL CONTROL. "Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have emerged as a new paradigm that allows brain-derived information to control artificial actuators and communicate the subject's motor intention to the outside world without the interference of the subject's body." http://www.nature.com/articles/srep01319 View in LinkedIn

HYBRID GENOMES. “The key steps of evolution - as the SET (Serial Endosymbiotic Theory of Lynn Margulis) has demonstrated - are a union process of formerly independent gene bearers into integrated genomes.” https://lnkd.in/e3YfQQZ View in LinkedIn

ANIMAL-TO-ANIMAL BRAIN connections have kept forward in 2013 with some remarkable experiments. These experiments have fundamentally changed our thinking about the possibilities. View in LinkedIn

EVOLUTION. “Rather, it is a process that follows linguistic and communicative rules, to which organisms have developed or can develop a relationship of adherence or non-adherence.” https://lnkd.in/e3YfQQZ View in LinkedIn
