By definition any system including the brain is part of the environment and it should reflect basic properties of 'matter in motion as a whole'. The brain reflects part of the environmental system where was established and evolves. Any live open system cannot evolve independently of its environment. It needs the exchange of both energy and matter to exist. So, what push us to consider that the brain lies in higher dimensions than its proper environment?
I copy from Dialectical materialism Z. A. Jordan notes: "Engels made constant use of the metaphysical insight that the higher level of existence emerges from and has its roots in the lower; that the higher level constitutes a new order of being with its irreducible laws; and that this process of evolutionary advance is governed by laws of development which reflect basic properties of 'matter in motion as a whole'.
Do you think that brain reflects a compartmentalized separated system that evolves independently and auto-reacts or brain is just part of a whole system and thus reflects common properties in equal dimensions as its relative environmental system expressed only under a distinct order?
Remarks: The brain of Einstein or Platon would be the same under distinct environments? Can we establish a clone of Einstein or Platon without the relative environment? Has the environment an encoded proper property in addition to the encoded properties of genes?
Is in fact the brain the outcome of two distinct encoded systems?
Higher termites is an attractive model to study brain function and cell fate determination. These properties being likely under an environmental conditioning establish an interesting model to explore the encoded properties of the spatial environment or “choros - chorobiology” in restructuring animal physiology.
“Thinking” in individual termites gets a meaning when consider termites as a whole, we could in fact talk for a “group brain”. This “sum” creates a brain activity: permit to the colony to create, defend, and evolve. Cell fate: a huge queen carries identical eggs that differentiate upon an “environmental conditioning” to workers, soldiers with distinct morphological and functional properties and a “complementary brain”. Identical eggs and distinct fates that orchestrate a group brain in harmony.
Evolving form termites to humans, we could suggest that brain is built on two separate encoded systems the genome and choros - chorobiology. Human has evolved. In the much differentiated human societies, the environment delimits brain activities.
At the cellular level the bridge between these two encoded systems; genome and choros/spatial environment, is well illustrated by the molecular hijackers such as virus that cross-talk on a short frame-shift with the coordination of cell functions.
