complex semantic and syntax with which to serve retribution. By creating a culture-process so
driven by our earliest archaic mind we have created a potential in memory and cognition such
that it is capable of holding all our inherent potential in objectivity and therefore free-will in
intellect hostage to our limbic-system.
It’s a simple enough process Ivan Povlov called such a psycho-somatic weave in behavior for
good or bad, for higher or lower purpose a conditioned-reflex. Cognitive science takes us by the
hand revealing that it is within this psychosomatic weave that memory operates and resides.
The earlier in the family-tree of our species ancestry, the more bio-brain-architecturally,
inherently somatic, body and less psycho, mind, our conditioning-in-reflex and therefore
memory and recall.
I propose that despite our species bio-brain system progress in evolution, culture and
acculturation continued through all those millions of years to behave as if that progress had not
occurred. Culture simply continued to condition, to nurture our species to pre-prefrontal and
less than pre-frontal limbic dominance in memory and logic in cognition. Of course abstraction
as an inherent potential could not be entirely smothered, its assertion w as permitted to occur
only in subservience to the logic of the limbic-system.
It is within this larger context of memory and cognition that we need to understand our species
place in the art creation is, and by extension, how in our process in creation we in our selfexpression
in art, create place, create culture and acculturation. It is within this larger context
that we need to understand art as process in memory, cognition and behavior, that art as an
alchemy, as a physics, is at the process center of all of them.
We need to better understand the psychosomatics of embedded-meaning that art is, its process
in information, and its various concretizations in the physics and chemistry of “Nature”. For it
is through these understandings that we have the potential to transcend “Nature”. It is
then that we make sense of this history of billions of years of memory, of mind-less and mindfull
alchemy, of the diversity of memory and cognition, that all creation is.
There are some 12 billion years of the memory-culture of “Nature”, the memory-culture of
particles, of microbes, plants, of creatures, birds, insects, animals and Hominids, in an exchange
of information out of whose memory of DNA encoding and re-coding from which we Sapiens
Sapiens are the result. Billion of years of art, of culturing in memory, of the processing of
information, with the development of communications within and between “Natures”
organizations of memory of energy, and DNA, within all of limbic ”Natures” alchemy of
creation.
Hominid cognition, as memory, culture and art begins within all our species autonomicprocessing
of information, within all the sensory-signals, the sounds, tastes, smells and textures.
It is a meme, imitative, informing that includes the cold, the hot, the wet, the dry, the rough
and smooth. Included within these simple limbic-autonomic-beginnings of language’s
encoding, of signs and symbols, is pattern and color, gesture, posture and of special importance,
sound-vocalizations.
