匹 levels of existence. šŸ’” you can add "the world" as a zeroth layer. šŸ”„ we're uncertain if there is a layer below the atom layer.

ONE. The "organism" level. There are six billion homo sapiens on earth.

TWO. The "cell" level. There are thirty trillion cells in each homo sapiens.

THREE. The "atom" level. There are approximately one hundred trillion atoms in each cell.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

Each of these has an entity that exists in two worlds.

Consider the cell. Inside, it wants šŸ”„ information wants to be free. information wants to be expensive. šŸ’” by its nature, it trends towards a certain type of behavior :

  • to maintain unity
  • to maintain a common purpose
  • to maintain the processes of maintenance
  • to maintain the processes of cell division
  • to maintain Cell Walls.
  • to use electricity to manage system processes. šŸ’” the humans operate on an atmosphere of oxygen. the machines of the cell operate on an atmosphere of ATP.

Consider the atom. It exists, bound to other atoms electrically, and otherwise flying blindly through a sea of particles.

Eventually, we get proteins. Large molecules.

Cells have to choose. Be greedy, or be obedient.

Organisms have to choose, as well. šŸ”„ the impact of that on morality is a different department
