The central nervous system, a dissipative structure.



“You and I are searching too here up different things. Because I'm looking more certainty: so I came around Zaratustra. Because it is the tower and the strongest will, today which all vacillate and the earth shakes.
But as for you, at saw your eyes, almost bet that you are looking more uncertainty, more suffering, more danger, more earthquake." 
                                                                   Friedrich W. Nietzsche



Our text begins between Schrödinger (1944) and Norwich (1993) theories, and now we have a new knowledge about human behavior. According to Schrodinger theory, living creatures are a dissipative structure of entropy (in thermodynamics terms). That is, a ordered system which consume <<shelf energy>> and generates entropy in environment. The entropy is the magnitude which leads all creatures to the death, that is, leads to the thermal equilibrium.  
The new theory of Kenneth H. Norwich explains that the sensation is a proportion to entropy of the stimulus (in informatics terms, in Shannon’s work.) Our perception is relative. When we see an object, we perceive one quantum of entropy in proportion to information than we have. When a event was finished, the entropy is vanished, and we receive a quantum of information in proportion to information reduced. The information reduced, or perceived, depends of information than we have a priori.

Following these steps, here propose a hypothesis: our mind, or our central nervous system, is a thermodynamic system alive, that is, one dissipative structure of informatics entropy which consumes order, information. Our thesis explains that the central nervous system is one dissipative structure of uncertainty, which consumes information, and also is a genetic structure which consumes <<shelf entropy>>, and dissipates heat.

What is life?


In every culture of the world, the people ask and want to answer the question about what is life. We found a big variety of answers! Platon, Decard or Scheller founds one duality between soul and body. The different religions of the planet take an answer to this question. To Christians, the soul survives a long time after the death, and, the life is the life of soul. The Buddhists believe which the life is each one states of reincarnation of living. In the China of age Chang, “the belief which of the souls survive are illustrated with tools and food deposited in the graves. The kids were buried around the houses, in large urns provided with an opening at the top, to allow the exit of soul and its return.” [1] For me exists one vision of life differently than others, better than others, the idea consider the bios as a phenomena of physis.

"Undoubtedly, we are part of nature, which has produced our desires, our hopes and fears, in accordance with the laws which of physics are beginning to discover. In this sense, we are part of nature, are the result of natural laws and their victims in the long run." [2]

Erwin Schrödinger, one of the most eminent physics of XX century, shows at world in their famous “What is life?” the best definition of life. Schrödinger wants to describe the life as a phenomenon of physics. Following their interpretation, the living creatures are dissipative structures, that is, thermodynamic system which consume order and generates entropy. The living creatures are matter that’s not in thermal equilibrium, ordered matter. When we contrast the complexity of any living creature with a rock, a machine or something inanimate, we see that every living creature has more complexity than some not living creature. Living bodies are thermodynamic systems that are not in equilibrium, but are ordered matter, that is, they are bodies that are very far of maximum entropy state.

“A difference the Watt’s vapor machine, for example, the body concentrate order. Constantly repairs themselves. The intestinal epithelium is renewed every five days. The liver every two months. The skin every six weeks. Each year, replaces 98% of the atoms of our body. This incessant chemical replacement, metabolism, is a sure sign of life. This <<machine>> requires a continuous input of energy and chemicals (food).” [3]

Spanish Revolution

Bones a tothom,
He llegit alguns comentaris i e observat i seguit els moviments de acampadasol, acampadabcn i la acampada de la meva ciutat. (sbd)

Sé que tota la gent mobilitzada és moguda per la percepció constant d'una incertesa que no aconseguim resoldre, una incertesa que es mostra en moltes formes diverses, pro que bàsicament coneixem amb el nom de "travessar dificultats econòmiques". Tot plegat només te un una única solució; reformular la oligarquia que ens fan passar per democràcia, i que recentment s'ha batejat amb el nom de partitocràcia.  

En tots aquets moviments e pogut sentir arguments contra la banca, els mercats, España, els politics, el rei... Si, tenim greus problemes amb el sistema econòmic que governa al planeta (capitalisme), un sistema que hem pogut trobar obsolet però al que encara no s'ha plantejat una solució raonable. Si, tenim rei, un tio al que no elegim. Si, els politics son corruptes (no tots). Si, España recapta els impostos i no ho fa la Generalitat.... I què? es que tu pots canviar-ho?  Què importa això si ara mateix tu NO POTS DECIDIR sobre RES!?

Ara, cal entrendre una cosa; el sistema economic, nacionalitzar la banca, ficar els "botins" a la presó, acabar amb la corrupció, amb el rei o reduir les "retallades" no ho farem, no ho faràn, no ho aconseguirem, si abans no establim una democracia. NECESITEM una vertadera DEMOCRÀCIA per poder canviar quelcom, o es que aleshores no es podrien fer referèndums independentistes, republicans, comunistes...? I no es tan difícil. Cal aparcar tots aquets detalls que e comentat, cal desmarcar-se de independentismes, republicanismes o marxismes (trotskistes).

Jo tinc una cosa molt clara, aquest moviment no triunfara, es a dir, no guanyarem, si no aconseguim que part de la dreta, la dreta més pobre (parlant clar),  s'uneixi a aquest moviment. Les PIMES, no son banquers. Així doncs, prenent exemple de les decisions preses per l'Asamblea de Sol cal desmarcar-se de tot allò que no sigui EXIGIR una vertadera DEMOCRÀCIA real, valgui’m la associació. I oblidem per un moment totes les altres coses, cridem a mes gent!, si el moviment no creix, aleshores decreix.  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buenas a todos, 
He leído algunos comentarios, e observado y seguido los movimientos de acampadasol, acampadabcn y la acampada de mi ciudad. (sbd) 

Sé que toda la gente movilizada es movida por la percepción constante de una incertidumbre que no conseguimos resolver, una incertidumbre que se muestra en muchas formas diversas, pero que básicamente conocemos con el nombre de "atravesar dificultades económicas". Todo ello sólo tiene un una única solución; reformular la oligarquía que nos hacen pasar por democracia, y que recientemente se ha bautizado con el nombre de partitocracia. 

En todos estos movimientos e podido oír argumentos contra la banca, los mercados, España, los políticos, el rey ... Sí, tenemos graves problemas con el sistema económico que gobierna el planeta (capitalismo), un sistema que hemos podido encontrar obsoleto pero al que todavía no se ha planteado una solución razonable. Sí, tenemos rey, un tío al que no elegimos. Sí, los políticos son corruptos (no todos). Sí, España recauda los impuestos y no lo hace Cataluña .... ¿Y qué? es que tú puedes cambiarlo? ¿¡Qué importa eso! Ahora mismo tú NO PUEDES DECIDIR NADA!? 


Ahora, hay que entender una cosa; el sistema económico, nacionalizar la banca, meter los "botines" en la cárcel, acabar con la corrupción, con el rey o reducir los "recortes" no lo haremos, no lo harán, no lo conseguiremos, si antes no establecemos una democracia. NECESITAMOS una verdadera DEMOCRACIA para poder cambiar algo, para poder decidir sobre algo más que si pp o psoe.  ¿O es que entonces no se podrían hacer referéndums independentistas, republicanos, comunistas...? Y no es tan difícil. Hay que aparcar todos estos detalles que e comentado, hay que desmarcarse de independentismos, republicanismos, marxismos, liberalismos,... 

Yo tengo una cosa muy clara, este movimiento no triunfará, es decir, no ganaremos, si no conseguimos que parte de la derecha, la derecha más pobre (hablando claro), se una a este movimiento. Las PYMES, no son banqueros. Así pues, tomando ejemplo de las decisiones tomadas por la Asamblea de Sol hay que desmarcarse de todo aquello que no sea EXIGIR una verdadera DEMOCRACIA real, válgame la asociación. Y olvidamos por un momento todo lo demás, llamamos a mas gente!, Si el movimiento no crece, entonces decrece.

Best to all,
I read some reviews, and watched and followed the movements of acampadasol, acampadabcn and camping in my city. (SBD)
I know that all people mobilized is moved by the constant awareness of uncertainty that we do not solve, an uncertainty that is displayed in many different forms, but they basically know the name of "going through economic difficulties." This has only one solution, we reformulate the oligarchy masquerading as democracy and has recently been named in party politics.
In all these movements and have heard arguments against the bank, markets, Spain, politicians, the king ... Yes, we have serious problems with the economic system that rules the world (capitalism), a system we could find outdated but still has not raised a reasonable solution. Yes, we have a king, a guy who did not choose. Yes, politicians are corrupt (not all). Yes, Spain collects taxes and does not Catalonia .... So what? is that you can change it? What matters that! Now YOU CAN'T DECIDE ANYTHING!?

Now, we must understand one thing: the economic system, nationalize the banks, put the "spoils" in prison, end corruption or reduce the "cuts" will not, they will not, will not achieve unless we establish a real democracy. We NEED a real DEMOCRACY in order to change something, in order to decide on something more than if PP or PSOE. Or is that then no independence referendum could be made, Republicans, Communists ...? And is not that difficult. You have to park all these details and said, you have to get open for independence, republicanism and Marxism (Trotskyist).
I have one thing very clear, this movement will not succeed,  if we do not get the right part, right poorest (speaking of course), will join this movement. Employers are not bankers. Thus, following the example of the decisions taken by the Assembly of Madrid, must distance themselves from anything that is not REAL DEMOCRACY REQUIRES a true. And forget for a moment everything else, call more people!, If movement  grows, then not decreases.
Without democracy we will not change anything, we can do a thousand laws that things will change. Here what counts is the POWER TO ALL.
