My
Biological Navigation System At birth my brain,
that is to say, my biological navigation system (or Bio-Nav … like a Sat-Nav) is
set fully on auto-pilot.1 Later on I learn2 to use my
Bio-Nav semi-automatically. That means I can
consciously select some actual goals (like a particular job or mate or beer)
and deliberately and consciously navigate towards them. My Bio-Nav’s (i.e. my brain’s) job is to get me to my basic
goal.3 My basic, because all-or-nothing goal is personal survival.4 However, that goal
is virtual rather than actual in that my basic goal can only be achieved
within an actual situation, and of which there are an unpredictable zillion.5
Since the specific data of the actual situation that produces survival are
unpredictable, my Bio-Nav’s basic response must be
fundamentally blind, i.e. undetermined, open6 to all
possibilities. Being blind my Bio-Nav can deal
perfectly with all situations. However, just like a blind man stumbling along
my Bio-Nav learns, i.e. acquires seeming sight7
by means of data derived from contact and which it stores as memory. My Bio-Nav’s basic, fully automatic job is to ensure my
survival, that is to say, to ensure that I remain a winner8 (i.e.
the ‘fittest’) in every (situation I) encounter. On the basis of the data
available to it my Bio-Nav automatically decides
(i.e. computes) whether I’ve won or lost an encounter. It then signals ‘win’9
with happiness (or elation/’green’) and ‘lose’ with unhappiness (or
depression/’red’). Fundamentally a
biological system’s navigation operation (i.e. brain) serves as blind,
automatic, outcome (i.e. survival) directed data shuffling operation. Being basically
blind and reactive (i.e. like all data processors) it neither understands nor
judges the data it accepts and shuffles. That being so clever parents,
politicians, priests, gurus and so on can, having disabled or narrowed the
brain’s acquired judgement filters, deliberately feed the navigation system
(i.e. the brain) with selected true, false or indeed fake data (as in a
movie) to trick and bend its win-lose decision making process thereby
manipulating a system’s ‘win’ (happiness) and ‘lose’ (unhappiness) responses. RE:
singing bowls. The single sound of
the bowl intentionally floods the brain with a single neutral (i.e. stress
free) datum. Such flooding resets the brain to neutral which in turn sets the
body to neutral, thereby eliminating stress. © 2018 by

1. Every living
system, from microbe to human, operates with a navigation system. 2. i.e. from the data,
i.e. memory, I acquire. 3. In other words,
my navigation system’s job is to get me to my destination, whatever that
destination is. 4. The goal of
survival is common to all living systems. They emerge as response to living
conditions. 5. Over the last 10
million years, approx. 100 billion humans have striven to reach the same
basic goal (i.e. survival) but by 100 billion different actual means. 6. i.e.
‘open-minded,’ detached, like the auto-pilot of an airplane or self-drive car
capable of reaching any destination because capable of responding and
adapting to all situations. 7. The Bio-Nav constructs judgement, thus value (for survival) from
acquired data. 8. For ‘win’ read:
increase relative survival capacity. For ‘lose’ read: decrease relative
survival capacity. 9. Happiness and
unhappiness serve as highly effective Guide & Control, hence feedback
signals. |
