On The Cybernetic Recombination and the Biology of Technology; Revisiting Linnaeus' Kingdom Minerals

                                          

                                      

Understanding the biology of technology is the only way - if any, to preserve nature and humanity.

This book is not a piece of science fiction, prediction or a clever projection but is a proposed correction of taxonomy to represent the status quo of humanity and life as is and has been for thousands of years.

Distinctive concepts presented in the book are:

• The Cybernetic recombination (versus biological recombination and cosmological recombination).
• The proposal that machines behave as species (associated organisms initially) backed by examples from nature and several illustrations.
• The proposal that we are not just another species and the devaluation of Darwin's outdated proposition that the human intellect is only different from that of animals in degree not in kind.
• Machines as a Cybernetic replicators (versus a biological replicator)
• Culture as a virus-like DNA supplement (As presented by Leslie White -> Culture = Energy x Technology (C= E*T)).
• A new taxonomic order comprising the contemporary human, culture, and machines (The Homocybernetica). 
• The proposal to reinstate Linnaeus' Kingdom Minerals as a supra-domain of life to liberate biology from the limitation of protein.

WE ARE NOT JUST ANOTHER SPECIES

The letter/study is:

- about the necessity of collective self-awareness, unity and global governance.
An argument that the human kind is not just another species and that based on our extended phenotype we qualify as a separate kingdom of life; a sociophysiobiological kingdom with an illustration of a "Cybernetic Phylogeny";

- an expression of the human life-organisation in light of the "living-system theory" (Grier Miller cited in Umpleby, 2007), the "structure determinism" (Maturana and Valera, 1928) and the "Holistic Darwinism" (Corning, 1997).


The letter/study brings no new scientific discovery to the table, but by harnessing the existent knowledge through cybernetics, as I propose, a new multi-perspective model of the human life-organisation has simultaneously emerged.

I call this perspective: The Real-living-system.
