1.     everything happens because of pressure (or some differential in pressure).
 
2.     surviving sentient entities (things that have a sense of self) survive… due to a strong survival instinct.  for lack of a better term, let’s call sentient entities ‘be-ings.’
 
3.     be-ings, in i-survive-all mode, need basics: like air, water, food, etc.
   o   sentient machine-intelligence might require a different set of basics.
 
4.     be-ings (from atoms to AGI), in i-survive-as-a-species mode… replicate.

 
 
 
5.     be-ings, in survival mode, strive to better their odds at 3 & 4, above.  i call this ‘thrival,’ but this process is just the evolution of survival.  thrival is explained below:
 
6.     beings bond-together (there’s safety in numbers), mark territory (to secure basic resources and reproductive resources), and experience hierarchies (pecking-orders determine who gets more or less of that which promotes survival).
 
7.     surviving species also tend toward ego (a sense of separate self*). ego-ic groups seek access to resources, engage in nonstop reproduction, and utilize memory/cognition to take intelligent actions that perpetuate the survival-thrival/replication process (evolution).
 
8.     unless impeded (or kept-in-check) by an outside entity (e.g. a predator, dis-ease, disaster, overpopulation, etc.) the surviving entity/species becomes cancerous -- event-u-all-y committing murder-suicide by destroying itself via destroying its host.
 
9.     the host (if/be-ing energy that is neither created nor destroyed), upon death, would trans-form (dedupe) into part-i-cles that allow for the evolution of other entities, thereby perpetuating the evolution/devolution/survival-thrival/death/re-cycle.    
 
-the beginning

*the sense of separate self (ego) can be attributed to an individual (be-ing) and to a species/group (e.g. humans; the yankees).  

-the species/group, in turn, develops cult-like processes (culture) that perpetuate the survival/thrival of the species/group. 

b114 (3.12-2.2023): Love

Love [i]
by evol u. tionary

what if Love, on a sub-atomic level, is connection/similarity/togetherness/etc.?

·       It could only Know Itself if it could glimpse what it isn’t (which, for the purpose of this thoem, we will label as “fear”).
·       It would seek to survive/thrive/replicate its experience, so (absent restrictions to Its replication-ing)…
·       It (in effect) might appear cancerous.
 
i’m not sure if that Loving rabbit-hole makes me feel any better (or worse, really) about the state of humanity, the earth and/or the Uni-Verse.

who says that they do?  maybe some don’t, making it likely that they didn’t.
