The Life World within the Greater World . . .

As one begins to move on . . . its not just dealing with the “nasty,” as one gets in the generic or colloquial ways; there’s the fuller, greater, more encompassing . . . the enhanced, interactive. This is what maturation should be, becoming an adult. We should have more of it . . . very confused in this society.

“A Self entwined within an interactive field of meaning and knowledge.” The sources of inspiration. Our enhanced self.

The research, published today in Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, shows that these structures arise when a group of neurons forms a clique: each neuron connects to every other neuron in the group in a very specific way that generates a precise geometric object. The more neurons there are in a clique, the higher the dimension of the geometric object.

When the researchers presented the virtual brain tissue with a stimulus, cliques of progressively higher dimensions assembled momentarily to enclose high-dimensional holes, that the researchers refer to as cavities. “The appearance of high-dimensional cavities when the brain is processing information means that the neurons in the network react to stimuli in an extremely organized manner,” says Levi. “It is as if the brain reacts to a stimulus by building then razing a tower of multi-dimensional blocks, starting with rods (1D), then planks (2D), then cubes (3D), and then more complex geometries with 4D, 5D, etc. The progression of activity through the brain resembles a multi-dimensional sandcastle that materializes out of the sand and then disintegrates.”

It makes one wonder what is going on in the universe, per se, if the brain also parallels that.
