Symbiogenesis redicts the monism of the cosmos.

Symbiogenesis, the process by which organisms merge to form new wholes, is proposed as a framework for understanding consciousness as an aggregate of physiological processes. The mechanism assimilates environmental factors to create a continuum from the cell to the cosmos, consistent with natural laws. The text suggests that humans practice symbiogenesis because it recursively simulates the monism of our origin, recognizing something larger than ourselves. This perspective explains aspects of consciousness including mind, epigenetics, physiology, behavior, social systems, mathematics, and the arts. The work argues for an energetic continuum from Newtonian to quantum mechanics, proposing that being is not material but a serial homeostatic control of energy, aligning with Claude Bernard and Walter Cannon's physiology. A paradigm shift away from materialism is presented as overdue due to its destructive effects.

Abstract

Symbiogenesis has been systematically exploited to understand consciousness as the aggregate of our physiology. The Symbiogenic mechanism for assimilation of factors in the environment formulates the continuum from inside the cell to the Cosmos, both consciousness and cosmology complying with the Laws of Nature. Since Symbiogenesis is 'constructive', whereas eliminating what threatens us is 'destructive', why do we largely practice Symbiogenesis? Hypothetically, Symbiogenesis recursively simulates the monism of our origin, recognizing 'something bigger than ourselves'. That perspective explains many heretofore unexplained aspects of consciousness, such as mind, epigenetic inheritance, physiology, behaviors, social systems, mathematics, the Arts, from an a priori perspective. Moreover, there is an energetic continuum from Newtonian to Quantum Mechanics, opening up to a novel way of understanding the 'true nature of our being', not as 'materialism', but instead being the serial homeostatic control of energy. The latter is consistent with the spirit of Claude Bernard and Walter B. Cannon's perspectives on physiology. Such a paradigm shift is overdue, given that materialism is causing the destruction of the Earth and ourselves.
