Table of Contents

Introduction- Here we integrate the saga of material morphogenesis, biological morphogenesis and our social/cultural morphogenesis in a hierarchical continuum of complexity. This work is not necessarily linear, one can jump in anywhere along the narrative trail, skim, browse, delve deep into college level courses, or contribute, provided you know the Editing_Rules.

Section 1- Kick Starting The Morphological Flows: Material Morphogenesis - Creation of material

• 1- The early Universe of elementary particles- Staring point of morphological flows; the super-big and the super-small start off together:
  • 1.1- The bizarre world of the Super-Small - Elementary Particles- Extruding matter from energy; the relativistic world; the quantum world; Inherent Reality dwarfs our Perceived Reality;
  • 1.2- The Super-Big - Our Space Time Bubble- Otherwise known as our Universe- The Big Bang/Inflationary model; Creation of the seeds of (familiar) matter as well as Dark Matter and Dark Energy (the truly unfamiliar); Galaxy Formation; Creation of the familiar cosmos; our Perceived Reality catches up with Inherent Reality;
  • 1.3- Chaotic Morphological Flows- Summary of how Morphological Flows got their start and continue on forming hierarchies of complexity;

• 2- Creation of atoms:
  • 2.1- Atomic Nuclei- formation of atomic nuclei in stellar cores, supernovas and hyper-novas;
  • 2.2- How Atomic Nuclei pick up electrons to form atoms- Electron Quantum Numbers and Electron Orbitals; Deriving the Periodic Table of Elements;

• 3- Creation of molecules: Atomic Orbitals and Shape of Molecules; Molecular Bonds and Behavior of Material;

• 4- The Proto-Biotic Cascade- Seeds of Life: Creation of Intermediate Organic Material from Base Material; Creation of Biotic Material from Intermediate Organic Compounds; Seeds of Life on Earth as we know it;

Section 2- Biotic Morphogenesis - Creation of life - The tree of life

• 5- Creation of Biota I- Genetic Machinery of Evolution- Genomic structures; DNA-RNA-Protein blocks of (dynamic) Functional Morphologies; Genetic Networks, the Frameworks of Biotic Functionality; Natural Selection revisited: Dynamic Shaping of (familiar) Life via the Genetic Machinery, epigenetics, mutations and genetic accretion;

• 6- Creation of Biota II- The Fossil Record; Comparative Anatomy; The Tree of Life (a pictorial family album):
  • 6.1- Cells to Reptiles- The tree of life from single cells to reptiles;
  • 6.2- From Reptiles to Us- The tree of life from Reptiles to us; Tree of Life Synopsis;

• 7- Creation of Biota III- Evolution of Central Nervous System and The Brain:
  • 7.1- Stimulus-Response Circuits- Instinctive functionality of biotic neural networks: stimulus-response behavioral circuitry;
  • 7.2- Heuristic Circuits- Comparative anatomy of the brain; Learned functionality of biotic neural networks: heuristic behavioral circuitry;
  • 7.3- Animal Cognitive Studies- The formation of the hierarchy of behavioral complexity through learning;

Section 3 - Our Social Morphogenesis - Creation of us

• 8- Creation of Us I- Evolution of the Mind
  • 8.1- Triune Brain- The Triune Brain and Evolutionary Psychology
  • 8.2- Aperture of Perception- Inherent and Perceived Reality: Abstraction and the Widening Aperture of Perception; Incremental and Transcendental Abstraction
  • 8.3- Truths and Facts- Building Truth through Abstraction; Building Facts through corroboration of Truths
  • 8.4- Memetic Evolution- Memetic Evolution as Impetus for Social/Cultural Evolution;
  • 8.5- Conclusion, Mind as the Sixth Sense

• 9- Creation of Us II- Our Social Evolution
  • 9.1- Introduction-
  • 9.2- Early Migrations- Symbolic Thinking, Co-Evolution of Governance and Religion
  • 9.3- Dawn of Civilization in the Near East- Sumer and Akkad, Babylon, Egypt
  • 9.4- Early Empires- Persians, Greeks, Romans
  • 9.5- Religious Empires- Islam, Christendom, Renaissance and Colonialism
  • 9.6- Reshuffling the World Order- World Wars, Cold War, Dominance of Democracies

Unifying Material, Biotic and our Social Morphogenesis in a Common Model

• 10- The Cascade Model of Morphological Flows- Rendering the Flow in a Unified Model; Flow Oriented Thinking and Problem Solving; Applying the Analytical Model to solve scientific, social and personal dilemmas
