Hi All,
Concerning Diversity in the Biosphere,
Jim: I am unsure about the quality of diversity per se.
I think, that the greater the diversity there is in the biosphere, the more
it increases the potential for humans (and animals I would suppose) to
interact with DQ , on a more frequent basis, or at a "higher" quality?
The reason I think this , is for the following reasons:
We know that there is the 'stuff' before the cutting edge, and then the
actual conciousness (reality/realisation) in our minds, which leaves a trail
of static-history.
Now, as we get older, and our static-repertoire (the history of experience
we draw on) grows , we rely more upon our static-repertoire. Sometimes, as
in the case of pain, it is instinct to learn from mistakes / accidents. DQ
still has definite input, constantly.
I think that we conciously (for many variety of reasons) make decisions
based on this static-repertoire, even if sometimes they seem to be , or are
'illogical', or not understandable by anyone(or most), but the self. I
think that everyone makes decisions, that aren't always best for the overall
development of themself, but it is hard to see this happening, when you are
the one doing it.
I also think that sometimes, we all make decisions, that sort of turn down
DQ. It is very hard for me to explain this as it is in my mind, but I will
try to illustrate it.
This is not the whole of reality, mind you, but just some idea about
personal realisation I'm trying to communicate. It is very....broad...and
misses some things, which I hope we can develop in this thread. Its sort of
how our decisions affect the coherence in our lives, more specifically, the
Mind: (Judgement/decisions, etc.) Also includes subconsious/pre-intellectual
awareness.

I think that this is one of the ways static patterns affect intelligence in
humans (and animals I suppose as well). This is because, if we look back
upon generations of family, there are not only genetic traits passed on, but
character traits, and values. Like father, like son sort of thing. So, if/
when these values/traits are imprinted in ones repertoire, than it can be
very influential in our decision making, either promoting the branching out
of thoughts, 'lateral drifting', and generally seeking out the diverse, the
new, the DQ. However, it can, and is vice versa more often than not, I have
found. I am also "guilty" of this. Inhibition, seems to be a word that
fits?
But, I do analyze what I do, and very often realize the 'traits' that make
up parts of my personality, which are passed on from my parents (as I'm sure
the same is for you). There is nothing wrong with this, however, there can
be values passed on which promote the dependency on static-repertoire, which
upsets a natural coherence. I can't say what the natural balance is,
because I don't really think there is one, but I do think that the more one
relies on the static, the more one becomes static.
Mark: And the more patterns participating in coherence, the more severe
the coherence - the more evolved it is and therefore closer to DQ.
Me: This is important. The more diversity there is, it basically increases
the static-repertoire, and in turn, potentially increasing propensity
towards DQ.
More 'severe' coherence seems fitting?
This is getting long, so I will let you all have a say. Input is greatly
appreciated!
