The concept of biological software-stored cognitive processes |
|
| |
While the relationship between DNA, amino acids, proteins and genes has now been firmly established over the past fifty years, the understanding of proteins actually representing living biological memory (as in tubulin dimers) is still a controversial concept. |
|
| |
Certainly, the relationship between dimers and electrons exhibits a binary behaviour, however the exact relationship between all the components and how information is physically translated from words, sounds and visual images into a machine code and then into hard coded memory is still uncertain. |
|
| |
What is certain, without any doubt is that species are born with certain pre-loaded software- we are never born with a blank disk (to use the computer model). |
|
| |
Instead, all species appear to inheret certain programs and instinctual behaviours which become active given certain circumstance. Again this indicates a level of sophistication in that programs are somehow related to hormone messages as well as visual, logarithmic (geometric shapes). |
