     In linear systems small changes produce small effects, and large effects are due 
     either to large changes or to a sum of many small changes. In non-linear systems, 
     by contrast, small changes may have dramatic effects because they may be amplified 
     repeatedly by self-reinforcing feedback. Such nonlinear feedback processes are 
     the basis of the instabilities and sudden emergence of new forms of order 
     that are characteristic of self-organization.

     Complex, organized sound cannot emerge spontaneously. Whilst
     elephantine capsules of time are a prerequisite for the exploration of
     spiral vegetations of an exceedingly vast and complex system, 
     sudden perpendicular junctures resonate smoothed interlaced constellations - 
     making thus critical, a concurrence of circumstances towards
     momentum maintenance and noise propagation.

\/\  And Life Appeared

     Once upon a time a single-celled organism
     swallowed a  photosynthetic bacterium and created the first plant cell.  The
     bacterium became a chloroplast converting light into  energy on behalf of the
     plant - and the rest is history.  Other single-celled organisms just kept on
     swallowing.  single-celled algae swallowed primeval plant cells;  these were in
     turn swallowed by larger single celled organisms creating microscopic russian
     dolls.


     Catalytic cycles are at the core of self-organizing chemical systems such 
     as the chemical clocks studied by Ilya Prigogine, and they also play an essential role
     in the metabolic functions of living organisms. They are remarkably stable and can persist under
     a wide range of conditions. With sufficient time and a continuing flow of energy, catalytic cycles
     tend to interlock to form closed loops in which enzymes produced in one cycle act as catalysts in 
     the subsequent cycle. Manfred Eigen, Nobel Laureate in chemistry and director of the Max Planck Institute for 
     Physical Chemistry has lifed the term "hypercycles" for those loops in which each link is a catalytic cycle.


     Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan have said in Microcosmos:
     Multicelled organisms lost the rapid fire external information exchange,
     quick passed inventiveness and global data sharing of bacteria. Multicelled
     organisms made contributions to cell-to-cell communication and increased
     the powers of genetic memory. But, their data was now stuck inside the body.
     Most of it would take a billion years to get back out again.

     Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate and professor of physical chemistry at the Free University of Brussels
     has observed that a breakdown in progress is an illusion. Under the shattered fragments new structures
     and processes ferment. And from these innovations come fresh wonders.

           remember faces and facial expressions are extraordinarily well developed.
           One of the first things that faces tell us is the sex
           of a person. Although there are only two human sexes (nn has approx 1300), 
           humans experience many degrees of femininity and masculinity. 

           Studies indicate that female faces are judged more attractive 
           when they are made more feminine. In contrast, both men and women are 
           judged more attractive when the original faces are feminized.

           Neoteny is the retention of juvenile physical characteristics 
           in the adult individual. Neoteny implies an increased dependence 
           on NURTURE (rather than NATURE).

           Both dimorphism-- + Neoteny++ are driven by female sexual choice.

The mind registers time through mobility, e.g. the distance 
my eyelashes travel in an eyeblink. Sans repetition the fabric 
of time protein-folds in its own space. 


One may halt reality to observe it.





nn - though often called an illusion - i am true.
