More On Forces-Matter-Life Unified Theory

Comparative assessment of intelligence of different phenotypes?

 http://www.the-scientist.com/community/posts/list/60/122.page

Within a genotype, intelligence is a genetic trait of the individual. It is the capability to assess-adapt. It is the ability to modify cognition-culture in response to variable circumstances-environments. 

Culture is a ubiquitous trait, of the inanimate and animate realms, thus intelligence - an element of culture - is a ubiquitous trait. 

Approach and method to (comparatively?) (what is it?) assess intelligence of the individuals of cultural phenotypes within a genotype, or to understand and comprehend genotypes&#039; cultures and the intelligence of their individuals, belong in the sphere of the quest for the Forces-Matter-Life Unified Theory. 

Cultures are historical cosmic evolutionary entities and the unravelling of the nature of their elements and of their evolution processes is the horizon-goal of the Unified Theory.

=======================

Why &#039;Life&#039; In Forces-Matter-Life Unified Theory 


A. From &quot;Science Creed Manifest(SCM)&quot;

  http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-P81pQcU1dLBbHgtjQjxG_Q--?cq=1&amp;p=142 

Humans display a different approach to the scientific study of the nature of life than to the study of anything else. This may be due to an aversion to accept the dismaying realization that we are, after all, just one of the many life forms on Earth (or in our galaxy or the universe?).

A most essential, and uniquely human, ingrained-inherent need is some degree of self-esteem. The mere survival and existence of human individuals and communities of any size is anchored and established on a foundation of self-esteem culture which is neatly a complete creation of humans. Humanity is urgently becoming faced with the vital need to re-formulate its basis of culture, to anchor and build our life edifice on a rational, deeply convincing, moral-ethical-social values.

B. Culture Is A Ubiquitous Trait (&quot;-&quot; from my earlier posts)

- &quot;Culture is a ubiquitous trait, of both the inanimate and animate realms, thus intelligence - an element of culture - is a ubiquitous trait.&quot; 

- Within the realm of life not only creatures, but also plants, display culture AND intelligence.

- &quot;Broken Symmetry&quot; Is Physics&#039; Term For Biology&#039;s &quot;Evolution&quot;

- &quot;And it is also observable that ALL evolutions are fueled by culture, culture being the totality of ways of the system&#039;s dealing (reaction to, manipulation of, exploitation of) with its environment.&quot;

C. So Why &#039;Life&#039; In Forces-Matter-Life Unified Theory?

Because life is neither an exception in, nor essentially different from, all other matter.  All matter consist of energy and serves as a temporary storage of energy, and so is life.

D. Yet within the &#039;essential&#039; matterness of life

it is ,of course, observable that life is peculiar in the method and process of reproduction, even though ALL matter undergoes other forms of reproduction, too.
