Re. Homeostasis. I don't think your building analogy quite hits it
but it's a good stab. You see, buildings don't maintain themselves if
you think about it. Animals and biospheres, some mechanisms,
computers and psychic realms do. Think of the flyball governor used
in steam engines as an example of mechanical homeostasis.
I didn't, of course, mean a pyramid or skyskraper literally. Animals and
biospheres are built as a pyramid, think food-chain with the predators
on top, depending on (food-chain wise) lower animals and then plants.
The same with each animal, if an animal cuts a nerve, it might not feel
its toe, but it will likely function as an animal anyway. But with a
computer, if it cuts a path between the CPU and memory, it will crash
within a microsecond. A computer depends vitally on (almost) every part
it's built with, i.e. skyskraper, but an animal is built with lots ans
lots of cells, fewer organs, and very few vital organs.
@ In order to preserve homeostasis what's needed here is peace,
tranquility, calm, and ease.
Not if the pyramid has a stable enough base. But if you mean here on MD,
perhaps. The books are pretty stable for us, without them, we wouldn't
have lasted long.
@ The connection with subatomic force could be analogous to
complimentarity. Individuality could be viewed as a compliment to
Archetypal shared unconsciousness.
Yes, same thing, different stacks.

@ I don't know what stacks are. If you take the time to explain is
shall try to understand. Thanks Ade
Stacks are introduced in this thread:

. And there's also drawing a few posts later.
