Abstract: Natural life is chemical. Chemistry, not abstract logic, determines and constrains its potentialities. One of the potentialities is cognition. Humans have two equivalent cognitive systems: the immune and the nervous ones. The principle of functioning is the same for both: rooted in the previously acquired and embodied knowledge, the system is intrinsically generating many new chemical states and the environment selects and stabilizes appropriate of them. From the fundamental level of complicated brain chemistr… Show more

“…Importantly, although this has been conventionally acknowledged as a function of acquired epigenetic experiences, the Senome concept includes the memory encoded within the non-genomic structured arrangement of molecules [18–21,54] that also gets transferred through cell divisions or between generations [54]. Further too, the Senome includes the variety of sensory fields, such as electromagnetic, electrical, vibratory, or mechano-transduction, that store senomic information and transmit towards epigenome and genome (Box 1).…”

“…When so considered, the behavioral complexity of archaea, bacteria and diverse unicellular eukaryotes can be explained [14,18–21,72,73] In like manner, the intelligence of syncytial plasmodia Physarum polycephalum [16,7476], as well as the intelligence of plants and their robust communicative/cognitive faculties can be sufficiently understood [8,77–82]. Thus, the Senome provides a background through which the basal cognitive capacities of the cell, can be explored along pathways toward the type of consciousness that is typically ascribed to animals, and eventually to ourselves.…”

“…Kovac writes in a 2008 paper on bioenergetics and the human brain: “The reason why cognition has become the most accelerating factor of evolution is straightforward: the growth of knowledge, noogenesis, is autocatalytic, and hence exponential or even hyperbolic.” 20 …”

“…There is some interesting recent scholarship in the area of “cognitive biology” that is relevant to my arguments, with perhaps Kovac’s 19 work most prominent. Kovac writes in a 2008 paper on bioenergetics and the human brain: “The reason why cognition has become the most accelerating factor of evolution is straightforward: the growth of knowledge, noogenesis, is autocatalytic, and hence exponential or even hyperbolic.” 20 …”
