Ralph H. Abraham, Vibrations and Sustainability


3. AWARENESS

We consider now a complex model in which the environment is added to the two levels of mental field of my model (MS #105) presented a year ago in Santiniketan. Thus we have a model with three parallel layers:

  • the individual human (myself)
  • the sociosphere (ourself), and
  • the biosphere (surround).
These three layers are coupled, each to the other two, by resonance, as in MS #105.

We have not explored this model in computer simulation (as in MS #86 and #86B) but we may easily imagine how such a simulation may imitate the sensitivity (perceptual awareness) of myself and ourself to our surrounding environment.
