Growth and Culture
• Morality resides in the senses as a purposive set of instincts – The Origins of Virtue.
Life
is part of the environment, it is organized information and its main purpose is
learning and becoming a permanent cycle itself. It flows through many channels
and takes on millions of forms, and in humans, a highly evolved social species,
some of it becomes a “know how” shared and pass down through social structures
as much as genetic ones.
The
values system solves problems before we fully understand the all relationships,
but it doesn’t work either without culture. The process that is used to extract
the essence of all knowledge continues and generates the traditions, therefore
the institutions are not question too much. We are programmed to trust the
social environment and assume some details get lost over time or remain hidden,
incorporating the meaning as part of a bigger legacy and a political condition.
It becomes an extension of human nature, a social genetics of sorts that is
rounded up by specialization, and a vehicle that allows man to transcend to
geography and other differences.
It
created a universal system that can be plugged and unplugged and is portable,
where focus is turned into learning and empiric reductions that can take hold
anywhere, with the relative energy loss involved with a more active area.
Culture is the recombination of history and social relationships. Uniformity is
nature’s goal and what generates the potential, virtue is express in the
tolerance defining efficiency, certainty and pain thresholds.
Despecialization
and equal reproductive responsibilities set us up for growth; they are the
equalizers that gave us the ability to multiply and repeat the same formulas on
a social scale, reorganize and restructure. We get a potential in the bond and
human ingenuity, indeed putting evolution in our hands as part of a social
development. Socio-economic growth though involves the same principles of
movement, the ambiguities have to be resolved, concentrated in areas to
generate traction and improve the ability to synthesize energy, following also
a curve where they materialize.
New
methods and technologies can enhance our capacity helping us restructure, but
they can change the frequency of certain patterns, and therefore application is
very important. They can affect critical-mass and displace certainty generating
subliminal pressures and an environmental reaction; working immediately on the
spaces and elasticity, on the natural rhythm. They can become the focal point
and generate a contraction reversing essential capacity-demand dynamics,
stretching the environment and making the demand rise as they improve their own
capacity, increase repetitions and raise the temperature. On the other hand
tension always demands energy and growth can generate tension, on both sides of
the elasticity parameters balance is lost and energy is displaced excessively
inwards or outwards and a qualitative change becomes increasingly less likely.
A real qualitative change displaces
energy and the universal fluctuations to more specific areas reducing them and
securing an advantage, developing the flexibility to deal with specific levels
of uncertainty. It generates new variables as it reduces the general repetition
trigger making room, opening spaces, and the patterns then repeat more often,
it creates uniformity and the antithesis of change at the same time, it creates
certainty. When it finds stability it locks down, if it doesn’t the general
cycles between movement and definition, variables and uniformity, closing and
opening continue transforming the information, and with a tendency to fall back
on the last reliable platform, or universal context, which could mean
regressing or decomposing under the right conditions. Without relative
stability nature pushes for balance with absolute disregard, the general
tendencies take over and continue displacing energy.
This is the general process of enrichment
and how life segregates the information generating the connections and contacts
with the appropriate level of intensity; trading information and simplifying.
The systems caught in between are economic hierarchies (and selective
breeding); they are a protrusion in the environment with a time differential
matching that of a relative loss of energy, and can become more or less
permanent depending on the acceleration, it must sustain a minimum level of
integrity. It is adapting to the pressures which generates the shapes with
increasingly less fluctuations towards a center left behind, which also means
that this areas are increasingly localized the more developed the system,
become part of more specific functions, they have a relative significance with
resources expectations.
Enrichment
is holding or securing a location, it is all about energy, too much or not
enough can change the dynamics and the substance. Agglutination requires a
reduction that can affect the species, which must again center on a smaller
area of repetition (a phenomenon that causes autism), an over abbreviation that
displaces pressure to other functions attempting to generate more uniformity. It
needs to retain a level of conductivity that for the culture mostly means
technology and socioeconomic relationships. In nature energy parameters
determine density and force a constant reduction, which is what makes life
agglutinate to find balance.
The
general tendencies are increased agitation, strata formation and
simplification, more uniformity which is a form of specialization. This
produces the segregation of functions; generally the variables are gradually
displaced outwards to the next level reducing friction and generating the
efficiency, which requires a degree of compatibility. When the system cannot
settle the tension differentials it continues alternating between reducing the
individual parts and expanding a volume searching for balance…pressure
continues to produce energy starvation, distortion and interference. In other
words our common denominator is not necessarily that of nature, which causes
the abnormal development, instead of certain spaces or socio economic
relationships determining the performance they are mostly just responding to
the environment, which is responding to other factors. Similarly as long as we
are developing nature would look to generalize more, a process that runs into
money.
Uniformity is relative
and marks the end of a cycle, it doesn’t recognize a level only balance in
reference to; it is equal parts, focusing and gravity. Generally energy
circulates more evenly but it doesn’t care about the capacity of the parts, it
doesn’t stop transforming the information until balance is found, if it is not
it is the end of that development. A form of antagonism shows up in the
sacrifice of the parts for the whole when it does not respond to specific
priorities, man is diminished and the culture breaks down, at that point
society is not working for the species anymore. It stopped being the solution
and we get caught in the negative chain reaction to another point of precision.
Density
and size of the population determine the characteristics of all species and
vice versa, from smaller groups to very large concentrations there are very
distinct patterns, and it has all to do with how they relate to food and the
resources. Density eventually undermines the brain expansion attached to socialization,
so human evolution is really a needle in a haystack, finding the common
denominator that would stimulated the expansion of the capacity, no more and no
less, the brain, man and society itself, with a moral imperative grounding the
capacity-demand connection. For humans quantity is an environment and
socioeconomic relationships, a condition that needs nourishment. For us more
uniformity is also education and socioeconomic development, without either one
it will take on other forms and cannot generate the quality. It cannot produce
the content and potential that keep us disambiguating growth. We are on a “get
smart” trajectory as part of the consolidation of a larger more permanent
ecosystem that adjusts the energy.
The
statistical balance can lead to maximum use of resource and transparency, the
right structures and a curve, the perfect order in agglutination which is only
achievable on a social scale and through the energy bias, the right
articulations and the relaxation which is like a lens, determining the distance
between point A and B and a general shape. Otherwise it requires more
uniformity and either a super intelligence or extreme focusing, or both; a role
we have filled with technology which in turn when well applied has complemented
our despecialized condition. The natural enrichment generates a capacity and
forces a refocusing, as it balances and approximates pi it produces a sphere
and the environment becomes more stable, which usually requires certain
elasticity. If there is too much enrichment the lens absorbs the energy
defeating the purpose, it actually becomes a more dense or opaque element.
Economic hierarchies
are mathematical equations that have not been or cannot be simplified further,
with the proportional deficiency and rate of decadence. In general increasing
repetitions overheats the environment and reducing them relaxes it and
eventually also breaks the connection. Information is only aggregated for
balance, the enrichment of socioeconomic relationships works the same way, platforms
where the information coming in is brought to minimum certainty and the
information going out is the result of the function, supported by free exchange
only in that context. The permanent record becomes institutional wisdom and
cultural traditions where the significant information transcend time, and the
rest becomes more recessive and circumstantial, void and null, or inactive.
Like the telescope the better we are at segregating the information and
focusing the greater the potential, rationalizing, categorizing, grouping and
simplifying. Information is usually processed by “historical currencies” that
produce a positive return determining what is beneficial and negative, what
remains and what is dismissed and what remains, what is transformed and functional.
Humanity
has followed a growth trajectory with technology helping synthesize energy and
acting as a catalyst and agglutinating factor at the same time.
Despecialization forced us to think, and from that point on the integrity of
this relationship was essential to our own. Technology’s trajectory though is
only generally connected to that of society, it is subject to other
circumstances and fluctuations that can generate the subliminal pressures if
the right parameters are not stablished, if the function is not defined as part
of a “digestive system” and to express a potential, determined by a performance
dominated by the moral assessment. It always had limitations and very obvious
impact on society which could then make the adjustments, the line between the
benefits, distortions and damages were more discernable. The repetition
required by precision can generate a capacity, but also the displacement of
resources and negate the spaces, moving in the opposite direction of our own
growth.
Today is not so
apparent but the boundaries still exist where certainty is displaced and the
technology becomes alienating. It has a tendency to continue contracting the
event, although it should become increasingly less transcendental as part of
the empiric generalizations, generating the exponential growth that also
defines movement and the spaces, which depend on default values, like the body
to the arm to the hand. It has done the opposite; a different technology
affects the most intimate moment and breaks down an economy on a molecular
level, not showing any repercussions for a long time.
Technology
is, after all a manipulation of size and proportions, an accelerant, speed
increases as the duration of the event decreases and the relationship with
energy and resources start reversing until the capacity and demand cross path
responding to different performances, causing the temporal disturbance. The
energy relationship and a level of stability with society and the environment
makes it a support point, a spring board, hub, or step, or a sink hole, a
positive point of reference or a question. It only works when we simplify the
information as part of a natural ossification process and organic
relationships, getting what you need and otherwise corrupting the whole system.
It reflects the connections' duality, capacity and resistance, supporting beams
and weight. They are themselves a concentration of information, a short cut and
manipulation of focus which is what allows it to multiply the energy; they
improve their certainty and reduce the environment’s, which means time.
It
needs controlling just like the enzymes in our bodies, they translate
information and transport energy, help in bonding and break down material,
reorder and have byproducts, and don’t always have to produce certainty
sometimes just energy necessary for the connection. They are all repetition
points and the only way to redistribute energy but there is a gradual loss and
decline that makes precision indispensable. Oversimplification in general can
cause obstruction of functions and development, dimorphism and scarring, we
can’t withhold or deregulate technology.
From
the beginning we contributed to our growth through a series of discoveries, we
needed the tools to specialize and in the process stimulated our own social
development. Along those lines it would seem that technology could expedite
trade as the activity increased and more variables appeared, which is where
money finds its niche. An empty pseudo-technology with no energy or time
parameters that could speed up the process, but also reduce everything, with
the loss of energy and destructive power that entails. Money creates the short
cut and closes the focus squeezing energy out of everything it touches, similar
to the chain reaction caused by technology where the negative ratio changes our
expectations which in turn pushes the technology.
In
general a faster repetition point can create the wormhole and suck the energy
out of the environment. It becomes the platform rather than working off another
platform, and the variable becomes the standard. It produces the instant
delivery syndrome which is a reversal of roles and the contraction rather than
the simplification, the false agreement that shots the door on progress. Social
development like agglutination requires a redefinition of spaces (we sometimes
call civilization) which should evolve from old parameter set by the values
system but that were not completely defined before. Technology contributes to
generating room for growth only when it is at the service of society.
The
idea is they go faster and we keep the pace, they suffer the erosion we don’t,
but we could not grow healthy without the development of technology or in its
absence. As part of the algorithm it is supposed to gain more definition and
capacity as trade winds down with the variables, changing form. This process is
always going to be limited by the de-specialization that generates it, the
compromise in the flexibility versus predetermined and simpler genetic
functions.
Anticipating
is the essence of life, in the measure we lose control of the circumstances the
chances of survival decrease. Restructuring is made easier by virtue and human
evolution, the ability to predict and get ahead of the curb actually paving the
way. But all species are proactive within the context of experience and a
protocol, meaning a memory, evolutionary and social adaptations. They go to a
common denominator, then to specific area of deficiency or interest and
disambiguate further, remaining interactive and responsive to the environment.
As circumstances take control the options are reduced to simple more drastic
solutions that have the potential to affect the parts, and although they
justify themselves they are not necessary related to an inevitable trajectory,
but rather lack of anticipation, picking up the pattern. Life, for instance,
loses interest with degree of uncertainty avoiding being unreasonably pulled
into the unknown, the abyss, or stretched thin, but also has to incorporate
information and reduce friction.
Despecialization
meant we had more choices and became more deliberate, which distinguished us
from other species; our destiny was more in our hands since. Certainty
parameters became very flexible and grounded by a values system, extending proportionally
the awareness linked to a social development that allows us to reach further
and synthesize more energy, a capacity that can also expands as the information
becomes more difficult, becoming part of the growth. These parameters are
relative to resources and an effort that is also part of default values; the
dynamics are not much different than those of the brain. The values system and
a moral imperative expressed the dynamic potential (of what is possible) that
allowed us to venture into every corner of the world.
An
increasing awareness is also part of the performance adjustment in human
socialization and a learning curve that helps maximize our potential and forces
us to find the ideal social environment. Redefine the spaces involved in the
human condition as part of the exponential growth and empiric reductions, the
energy adjustment that demands restructuring and our ability to affect the
circumstances that in turn can change us. Where are these natural friction
triggers and inhibitors that force the focus to shift or the structure to
weaken and crumble? Where is the definition that slowly turns into repeating
patterns generating certainty and facilitating actual growth, where the
flexibility is not tested and our essence changed?
We
once solved the problem through despecialization and a dual performance,
maximum flexibility to absorb the environmental fluctuations and protect the
integrity of other mechanisms. This had to both generate a very high tolerance
and establish the boundaries for the process of cultural specialization and
ossification. It requires resources and efforts to train and develop skills,
and educate a person, more time to displace the energy properly. It requires a
movement that become too protracted for the individual and only society can
produce, a restructuring that takes place from the bottom up as much as from
the top down and defines the resistance.
The same flexibility
that promotes the growth creates the human event with the individual variable,
therefore the universal tendency to trade the muscles for intelligence, space
and quantity, have to be limited by the human condition. In other words the
organism has a capacity to process x amount of information and potential for
enrichment, and needs to spread out in the measure it depends on activity to
deal with difficulty. Agglutination is the transfer of energy to a much more
efficient system; a collective intelligence which is contained in the values
system, which potential we haven’t discovered.
In
general the enrichment that generate the efficiency is bound by a historical
development that curbs the performance. The complexity of language suggests
that the simplification process has to be limited by human evolution, even
though uniformity makes everything more efficient in absolute terms. For
instance, any species is a variable as part of an ecosystem that defines what
is functional. It has to be a true common denominator but the closest to a
minimum denominator the more efficient it becomes, which reflects also the dynamics
involved with the learning process. Going up can only mean going to basics and
enhancing the foundation, it generates maximum definition for that specific
system, making everything else a distortion.
Enrichment
generates a capacity and forces a refocusing, it produces platforms and
eventually shuffling of information. The balance is then in the access and free
exchange of the significant information, and the variables supported by the
evolution. We constantly move between environments generated by parameters
established by a more general one, which is always attempting to absorb the
information and make it more uniform, like gravity, becoming saturated and with
more absolute value eventually. Despecialization produced a fluid environment
transforming the areas that have a tendency to fold under pressure generating a
spectrum or strata, generating in man a performance that only has meaning in
the context of human empathy.
Men put a lot of stock
on movement and the diversity that produces the ecological success, but an
increased predictability has to match the growth as the variables blend in and
movement is reduced. Recovering time on a cultural level would produce the
necessary adjustments but should also run into the boundaries that force the
restructuring and multiplication, although by then it might not be a very
efficient system. The occasional qualitative step opens the possibilities to
new variables but the waters always have to calm down, a capacity and demand
that should be marching in unison.
The
question remains what are the effects of the environmental pressures on the
species trajectory? The answer is we were built for multiple environments and
many levels of cooperation and a predisposition for growth, and that generally
socioeconomic hierarchies could extend or cut short a trajectory depending on
other dynamics, that all systems tend to come around full circle to a place of
stability and that we are not exempt from these laws. So how much is too much,
and can we produce the transformative change without a drastic alteration of
the human condition, are we there in that other generalization?
We
started with a dual performance and an advantage, the consistency and the
elasticity. The essence of the problem is the evolutionary predispositions that
shape the human condition come from despecialization which contains the
inefficiency of the universal system; they are all connected and in the area of
learning, re-specialization and also what should be diminishing variables,
which generates a relatively boiling point and some friction with growth. The
good news is much of it is cultural and when the expectations are proportional
to the fluctuations the flexibility is just right, similarly the expectations
that shape our condition and emotional make up are affected by the flexibility.
We can only make
society more uniform and recover resources in the context of the false labor
that produces man to begin with, no more than we can eliminate diversity or the
need for education, particular talents and vocations, they are in relationships
and affect one another, the recessive cultural component that resumes
generating a potential, the final connections and attachment. True growth
happens through cultural enrichment and the exercise of purpose in the social
vetting, more certainty is always relative because is in the quality and
redefines quality. The cause comes from evolution, and since it is a form of
kinetic contraction it has a tendency to replace other patterns, therefore
preserving certain human trades and characteristics becomes imperative. It’s
all about the things that are uncompromising and the ones that can move and
then how much do you really want to change those, it is all about the feedback
and the expectations, finding out what the order and symmetry that generates
the capacity mean to society. At some point is the certainty actually
increasing or is it just stretching?
Human’s
advantage was harnessing the kinetic contraction though, and turning it into
the evolution of cooperation and equality, in other words real time assessment
without other preconceived limitations. The prevailing development is
despecialization which generated the absolute and relative values. Care and
virtue are the yin and yang, not exclusive, not antagonistic; they gave rise
and exist in reference to each other. It found and defined a common denominator
and the equation cannot be reduced further while obtaining the right answer.
It’s the evolutionary memory and the cultural development, the emotional
awareness binds the species and the intellectual capacity generates a
contribution that only has value in the social context. Unfortunately the long
reach and strong grip also made us vulnerable to a very fast chain reaction and
abnormal development taking advantage of strong sensitivities and a cultural
essence.
Concentrating
efforts is ultimately the stabilizing potential that forces us to find the
patterns, specifically those that apply to the human condition, as well as the
general tendency to scale down the activity and spread the horizon, the
structural boundaries. The triggers that when merging into one can also force
an undesirable redefinition of the spaces displacing energy up and out, or
inwards, and have also generated different environments in our awareness that
reflect in society. Think of us as the atom to the rest of the universe and
plenty of room to agglutinate within certain parameters.
Agglutination
has a trajectory improving progressively the energy-time coefficient until it
reaches a point of optimal performance, and then friction starts undermining it
and the environmental demand begins to rise. This happens because energy wants
to build up as the fortification brings it down, the capacity for enrichment is
limited and at some point the activity generates pressure, the pace accelerates
causing the system to expand displacing energy and bouncing back out,
reflecting the end of the cycle.
Structure and energy
determine a relative size for our social adaptations, although despecialization
allows for a much wider range than other species, as does society, the last
possible phase in this evolution. Life’s objective is as much precision as
possible which is around the optimal performance area, is attempting to remain
healthy and able, which means maximum survival. But it would be very limiting
without multiplication and bonding which allows growth while sustaining and
even reducing the tension, a rhythm that is reflective of an evolutionary
trajectory and usually shows the first signs of stress.
This
should generate socio economic patterns going from the short trajectory more
definite systems that can theoretically repeat endlessly to the long trajectory
more fluid system. The uniformity that generates the short trajectory displaces
the variables sideways and up; it has less internal tolerance and more external
variables or general movement, ratios that reverse increasingly to more
tolerance for movement but less external variables, usually in a series of
qualitative steps. These cycles close according to a function and as the
variables are reduced it becomes more sustainable, more precise and lasts
longer.
Things
grow but tend to go back to the single point where everything starts from as a
result of the energy fluctuations, contracting and relaxing, in and out,
enriching and reducing. It creates articulations, determines proportions, size
and reach, generating the leverage and flexibility, but also become rigid and
dysfunctional under extreme pressure, when the performance and certainty curve
are distorted. Therefore the algorithm can be grabbing, immobilizing and
binding. Form is the movement we don’t see, and behavior is the form we don’t
see, we perceive.
Economic hierarchies
are a form of environmental enrichment and a lockdown of movement and the
learning process, a sign of inefficiency, when the restructuring or qualitative
transformation needed for more stability is not occurring, information is
blocked or there is too much friction. The system cannot return to an internal
state of symbiosis because the need to maintain a precarious balance with the
environment. It is itself a level of decay that requires constant new
information constantly, a test of the elasticity and an inflammation of the
tissue. The energy eye opens to absorb more information, it could settle back
down but continues to increase with pressure, eventually the cycle brakes and a
passage or tunnel opens and information starts flowing in the opposite
direction.
In
the degree the economic hierarchies develop and the system gets more inverted
learning becomes more difficult and the information moves faster consuming more
energy. But this also means that they are a conditions of materialization and
stages of evolution which life can only eradicate mathematically at the social
level. These relationships set the stage and the options, drastic
transformation of the information, shuffling (holding your position) and
somewhere in between, ways to solve the antagonism.
The
more concentrated the environment the more traction but the response becomes slower
forcing the system to match a level of uncertainty (flexibility), or it starts
reversing and taking too much energy. These are the same dynamics that adjust
form and behavior to the environmental density which is determined by
repetition and that affect our brains. The certainty horizon manifests
physically and more virtually the more advanced the species. Therefore
technology and the right methods can help growth keeping the energy down, which
is their role, and infusing energy beyond the necessary can add up to a
distortion, balance temporarily the equation or more permanently within the
right parameters. It is also why we need the basic points of reference, the
last know common denominator and its properties. More exercise will burn more
calories but won’t necessarily extend life.
Nature’s
solution is always maximum reduction, but life uses a combination to find
balance since it needs more energy, and we find it everywhere in that spectrum,
as well as some extreme adaptations around the edges. Improving the performance
can generate more energy and on the flip side energy can help improve the
performance, but it generates a demand. This generally keeps life simplifying
and restructuring to compensate for the resistance, using more energy only as a
last resort. These dynamics generate the tendency to the essentials and bring
us back to cooperation among specialist, which is part of the remeasuring
involved with agglutination, a redefinition by definition. As a matter of fact
it is just a universal formula that humans take to the next level.
It is agglutination
again and again to create a more efficient coherent system, parts joining for
mutual benefit and an easier to meet stability target. In survival of the
fittest the purpose is fitness not competition itself, a reduction of the
variables in a given direction. Competition for survival accomplishes that but
also reduces population in the process, which is a liability. So evolution
walks a tight balance between fitness and numbers and produces a spectrum with
all possible combinations. As some species move to cooperation competition
takes on other forms. Highly specialized forms of cooperation, like in some
insect colonies, displaces competition through specific functions and well
defined tasks but also restrict procreation and the movement that generates the
development. Humans take it a little further and displace some other functions
to culture and traditions, education and social structures giving us a better
chance.
Human
evolution solved the problem transforming the empiric reduction into the
ability to learn and specialize, an expansion of “awareness” and an awakening
of the species that is in a big part the code of conduct itself. Man was able
to simplify and become more complex at the same time avoiding the limitations
of extreme specialization by concentrating in the process itself and developing
a strong bond in the place of rather restrictive characteristics. This freed
the main adaptation for maximum definition, which is the objective, and still
allowed man to specialize on other goals. A socio-economic system would have to
reflect such structure, specifically the fusion of heart and mind, the
flexibility of the coagulation around the ability to care and the consistency
of tradition and respect it demanded, the moral discretion and values that
justifies the love.
Once again, the target
is determined by the answer to the environmental demand, but this time with a
sense of purpose and direction. We have a series of priorities that share our
attention and have emotional and socio economic implications, they are
relatively flexible and the results come from the combination, they are points
of references and triangulation, and require equal tension to be stable or in
focus, that means a relative significance attached back from the source. These
are the proportions and context of our lives, the spaces in our relationships.
Men then has the ability to re-focus in one or even several areas more or less
intensively for shorter or longer periods of time, which like training could
become second nature and in some cases even tradition. Intensive focusing looks
for higher performance and like a muscle contraction is time sensitive and
supposed to re-stabilize a system, solve a problem or capture a moment.
Growth
as part of the natural trajectory reduces stress, which means less relative
energy consumption and more security. The variables have been reduced by an
evolutionary trajectory but the scope opened up when we de-specialized to give
us more range and learning capacity, capture useful information and dismiss the
rest, is the head lights and the road, background and focus for a clear
picture. Certain dynamics therefore in human society inherently contain a
performance which reflects and is always displaced by the degree of difficulty
(and the distance from point A to B, effort, etc.), it mirrors the universe,
meets a “demand” and connects the dots.
This
force field and relationships establish balance and distribute energy up and
down the system. They create dualities and set the pace; focus and tension,
resistance and bond, difficulty and performance are the same. The efficiency
produced by reciprocity sustains reciprocity and the lack thereof generates
competition and a streamlining, a refocusing and reduction of awareness,
certainty is reduced and gravity takes over accelerating and pulling through
the wormhole making the energy unfold. Extreme pressure causes repetition to
concentrate in undesirable areas pulling on our systems and the areas of
uniformity that had already been defined, therefore humans as we know them stop
being the common denominator and the maximum repetition point.
When the priorities
drift away from evolutionary assumptions for any reason (usually having to do
with resource) so does the center of gravity and a system develops with its own
common denominators, areas of repetition and uniformity, and ultimate
trajectory and destiny which now connect us to the universe. We become part of
a new form and caught up in a less permanent condition subject the
transformation that might require as the best possible options. This looks
exactly like the natural trajectory because it is the natural process. It’s the
environmental tug and traction of a larger event because there can be no
absolute rupture due to inefficiency, although it is a departure for us. The
difference is retaining certainty and the integrity, the emphasis on the
adaptations to remain more or less in a zone during our development which keeps
us on a human curb, the object of repetition and the constant.
The
essence of Tai Chi is practicing a balance protecting virtual and physical
spaces and a form that is not impervious to change and the environment’s
influence. It is sending a signal through repetition validating the human condition
and a capacity that due to despecialization needs more exercise. Generally what
is not practiced tends to atrophy. The concept of the taiji, supreme ultimate,
in contrast with wuji, without ultimate, appears in both Taoist and Confucian
Chinese philosophy, where it represents the fusion of Yin and Yang into a
single ultimate, represented by the taijitu symbol. T’ai chi ch’uan theory and
practice evolved in agreement with many Chinese philosophical principles,
including those of Taoism and Confucianism.
Humans
like everything else are bound by structural parameters, compulsiveness to
share and social reciprocity set us up for growth at the same time that
transcending specialization created the capacity to sustain balance in the
context of a learning curve. It generated a larger tolerance area, a wider
“stability band” that is part of a general potential and the universal
connection necessary for recognition and anticipation. Growth is an adaptation
anticipated by evolution that coexists with other necessities, it is
procreation to nutrition, education, research and investigation, technology,
etc. These are actually energy cycles that feed of each other and can produce
the expansion determining each other’s environmental demand and a stability
area.
Morality
and human concepts such as pride, dignity and respect have an original function
related to structural integrity and allocation of resources. They are human’s
molecular tension; the interaction, the balance, common denominator and bonding
capacity. It is the substance to the negation, the light otherwise
indistinctive information, the responsibility that comes with power. They are
part of the drive and the initiative that helps us deal with the circumstances,
which are obviously more significant to each individual in the context of their
lives, and are only connected to a larger picture by a much older memory which
retains evolutionary measurements and proportions without distortion, and that
in conjunction with the culture and the traditions puts life in perspective,
the continuity and structures not unlike language and the ability to speak. It
is the reciprocity and integrity that is preserved, the behavior matching the
expectation for which some spaces might require redefinition, like clothing and
what is private have a cultural component.
We
are moral beings, it distinguishes us from other species giving us a sense of
direction. It is the result of the new certainty and prioritizing cooperation.
It goes back to dialectics of movement; respect is the cost that justifies the
motivation defining a performance and the conditions where the species can
thrive. Differing cost to the virtual spaces sets up the learning process and
makes socialization the manifest destiny. It defines the moment and the power
of discretion, the immediate goals and the long term evolutionary objectives
engrained in our nature.
For
instance some species would eat their young in a bad season, some will push the
weakest one out of the nest, or provide their own bodies as a food source, and
some die in the process of reproducing. The supper objective has to prevail in
the sequence of negations and priorities in order to preserve equilibrium, the
center of gravity, which is the continuity, also takes precedence over motion.
For humans the moral and economic relationships generate the boundaries and
natural inhibitors we gradually lose around the edges producing all kinds of
social phenomena with a tendency to “snow ball”. When the sequence is broken
things start losing their meaning.
Energy
cannot point in any one direction permanently, as population grew the numbers
changed but the basic parameters were determined by the original values system,
the proportions that kept us living and multiplying within the laws of balance,
allowing us to adjust the performance and get a better return through the use
of technology and education. It evolved as part of an extreme specialization in
cooperation and a man detached from specific food or energy sources. Certainty
is displaced to collaboration to a degree that becomes more evident with
population growth, generating the strain on the environment.
Finding new sources and
allocating energy, calibrating, and restructuring are all part of the
solutions; the answer causes a relaxation because stability was found,
stimulating the motivation and the drive. The negation field has opened up the
scope generating capacity and new possibilities. Exercising this condition and
range of motion is necessary since we continue to adjust to the environmental
demand, singularly and collectively. This also means the capacity can be
enhanced and reduced by manipulating the demand, like the lungs and heart is
the result of an adaptation that make us more efficient, but it is limited by
structural parameters with an “idle” point for longevity. Huge muscles beyond a
functional degree generate a disproportional demand causing multiple health
problems including an enlarged heart, no balance and the tug of nature, at that
point the return is diminished.
The
difference is that for humans balancing the energy equation is mostly a social
responsibility, and that we agglutinated around an intuitive values system, the
connections, the cognitive and non-cognitive reactions, more or less localized
for efficiency. Focusing becomes a matter of social recognition, preserving the
spaces and integrity of the system, opening and closing, extending and
retracting are more the result of a social DNA. Tradition and cultural legacy
can become very specific but also readily available in evolutionary terms,
which also means the implicit uncertainty of the flexibility (and fast
reactions) that requires enrichment to reduce the error, we also know it as
common sense.
Other
systems combine extreme simplification of functions and uniformity to reduce friction,
limiting the variables and the possibilities; the objectives and
super-objective almost become one, the load is not shared necessarily equally
and some individual are more expendable than others. In some cases not only are
they genetically predispose to do a job, the numbers are also “measured”, which
we lack precisely as a result of a much more complex society, they lack
discretion.
We incorporate information faster,
develop agriculture and technologies, find new sources of energy and manipulate
natural cycles in order to keep up with the demands of growth. But success
depends on integrity, if the right priorities are not driving the intentions
the capacity can never find stability and slowly wastes away, the curve doesn’t
adjust and the head never meets the tail, decadence sets in. We have control of
our muscles and can exert ourselves with purpose, accelerate within critical
mass parameters retaining a minimum degree of certainty.
The truth is we got some control over the
accelerator with the enhanced social awareness as part of an evolutionary
motivation that is the key to the ecological success, not for personal
convenience. The algorithm is the universal allocator of resources and energy,
which is why efficiency, health and balance are the same; is information taking
its natural path. Understanding complicated relationships is part of
internalizing time and a general performance, allowing us to find solutions to
bigger obstacles with a special purpose anticipated by evolution in the values
system, they are meant to work together and cannot be separated either. It
makes the priorities match the energy imperative providing a range of motion
that requires integrity, the right structure and measurements for a walking
motion. But as we grow and the walking becomes more of a social responsibility
the knowledge platforms play a bigger role, which also means that the social
awareness and sensitivities have to develop proportionally as part of our
social brain expansion.
There is always a tradeoff involved, which
makes the universe move between precision and agglutination and life between
function and growth, enrichment and simplification. When the performance is
adjusted it reduces consumption and saves energy, but it requires minimum
certainty parameters to begin with. As human population grows new conflicts
arise; cultural differences and resources that are naturally scattered around
the world are used to undermine the instinct to cooperate, which is replaced by
competition. We get further away from the next junction and the recovery, a
quantity with an energy-time ratio related to an absolute that produces a
positive generalization.
Specialized structures
produce the performance rationalizing the articulations society grows into and
materializing a purpose in a rhythm, which become products with a negative
coefficient and more questions than answers, inverted articulations where we
become incongruent. Government and social institutions are supposed to
transcend the culture, which cannot transcend itself, setting standards based
on values that define the questions that remain to be answered and the
reproof-negation process, preserving the integrity and a range of motion. The
empiric generalizations that expressing basic assumptions generates uniformity
and produces growth displacing the ambiguities. They generate time to deal with
the uncertainty which expands the smaller the moment (or the longer the time
elapsed).
Focus is the reason why we couldn’t live
in isolated nation-cities today, and in truth why we require a minimum degree
of certainty to enter into certain economic alliances, and even why most people
would not be able to survive in complete isolation. The absolutes are always
true and the problems get worst as long as we remain on the wrong track. The
empiric moral negation is the recovery of time that depends on resources, not a
magic bullet, is how we consume; population growth, cultural development,
socioeconomic awareness and technological advances are all part of the same
process, the trajectory with the potential to takes us to a higher level of
cooperation among specialist, as we exercising the human condition and fill the
promise of growth and ecological success. But certainty has been displaced by
the dogmas and Globalization is preempting the natural process and taking us
down a dead end path, where we are never ready to meet the demand of the moment
and a different set of assumptions resonate throughout the environment.
