A Piece of the Puzzle
page 40-41 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything
What is happening when two people report the exact same incident differently? Each individual person’s micro cosmos (using information provided by DNA) that built either the telescopes (eyes) or the media reporting the information back to the colony (the brain), is, as would be expected of a society, different in every one of us. Not, however, so different that we can’t trace the roots or heritage of the entire colony to a certain extent—like tracing the movement of the Celtic people across Europe to Ireland and then Scotland—or watching a family nose or smile pass from generation to generation- –or recognizing that the two people are describing the same event.
Could DNA truly be just a series of non-sentient molecules, which makes mistakes every time it replicates, some of which are successful “mutations” (a really negative word for something so incredible), but most of which are not? How can something with no decision-making capabilities make mistakes?
Or is DNA an infrastructure for proteins, the body’s worker bees? Is the splitting and reforming of DNA controlled by individual proteins making individual decisions? Is DNA the database of available data and the protein the programmer manipulating the data? Are our individual hair or blood or skin or eye cells the end report produced by these programmers?
Popular application software is always operated in ways not even considered by its developers. Sometimes this is a positive, certainly for the user who has discovered the shortcut. Sometimes this is a negative, causing some instability in the program, data or document that is not discovered until huge problems arise. Is this similar to an uninformed decision by a DNA molecule, or by the protein expressing it, creating a negative mutation?
If the process of DNA replication is built on the decisions of the molecules and atoms (and infinite other even smaller entities to lesser and lesser degrees) involved, it would be impossible to believe that it could ever be exactly the same twice…which appears to be the case. Infinite Sentience would predict that it would never be the same twice. Infinite Sentience predicts Infinite Diversity.
However, if, as current scientific paradigms would have me believe, on some elemental level all particles are identical, how is it possible that we have infinite diversity on all other levels? If all the bricks are identical, should there not be at least two snowflakes alike?
