Upper-level, lower-level relations of life systems.
Figure 26: Upper-level, lower-level relations.
Life corresponds to “communal-behaviour” status of components; whereas death corresponds to single-behaviour-status. That means: when a body is dead, then their components have lost their connections to each-others. But as single components, they are still alive. When we evaluate the “life“ as a whole from this perspective, we must assume that life must be continuing further down to the subatomic realms. This assumption is corroborated by the “exponential nature of information development”, being explained in the previous chapters. Furthermore, “Theory of Integrative Levels” (Feibleman 1954) get its full meaning by this kind of assumptions. This theory states: There exist a hierarchical structure and composition of matters in our world, starting with subatomic particles. Atomic elements are made of such subatomic particles. Molecules are made of atomic elements. Cells are made of molecules, and so on. Basic rules among these hierarchical shells were summarized by (Feibleman 1954) in “Theory of Integrative Levels”. (These levels are called here as “upper system – lower system”). Some important ones of them are following:
“Complexity of the levels increases upward.
Each level organizes the level or levels below it plus one emergent quality.
In any organisation, the lower level is directed by the higher.
In any organisation, the higher level depends upon the lower.
For an organisation at any given level, its mechanism lies at the level below and its purpose at the level above.
A disturbance introduced into an organisation at any one level reverberates at all the levels it covers.”
It is easy to deduce from these few sentences that the power to construct or destruct some thing lies at the lower level. To construct or deconstruct some thing requires some information to behave in such or other manner, a kind of conscious behaviour, being an indicator of life, sensu lato.
How are very great forces developed?
Every being have to sense all the factors concerning its existence, therefore small components like molecules must interfere with all other molecules in their surrounding system. Because each rotating or with a certain wall bordered ensemble behave as a semi-closed unit, all matters within this border must interfere with each others. As indicated in the preceding pages, conscious behaviour is a common property of all beings. They try to exhibit some common behaviour; and for this reason they get in resonance. In resonating systems, the signal amplitude of each beings are added together, so that a huge amount of energy develops (see figure 1.16). Laser lights are the best example of this kind of behaviours. Benard-cells are another example.
Figure 27: The effects of resonance and dissonance. In resonance, individual values are added together, whereas in dissonance they conceal each other.
The same kind of cooperative behaviour occurs in atmosphere and lithosphere of our earth. Molecules sensing some sort of constraints, respond to them collaboratively and construct huge forces like hurricanes, tornados, big earth-quakes, etc.
Physicists had put it correctly: “All matters attract or repel each other directly proportional to their potential values (mass, charges, etc.) and inversely proportional to the quadrate of the distance between them.” The meaning of this statement is very clear: All items are mutually dependent on each other and they are aware of this fact. Each item has the potential information set to determine its own behaviour or destiny in the nature. There is no other (external) factor(s), which determine(s) their behaviour or destiny independently.
