C. PediaPedia Ecosmica 2024: Our Children’s Community Garden of UniVerses Grows Greener
This section is a further installment of our PediaPedia Earthica reference edition as it transits into a second year. A difference is an Ecosmica name as a way to also express cite a celestial spacescape. The unit opens by restating this PediaPedia resourse venue followed by a repost of 2023 notable advances and convergent syntheses. It will then proceed with its yearlong daily record of phenomenal entries across the 86 segments into this prodigious Discovery Decade.
Natural Genesis (2003): An Annotated Anthology Sourcebook for the Worldwide Discovery of a Creative Organic Universe: 2003
Planatural Genesis (2023): An Annotated Anthology SourceSite for Our Earthumanity Discovery of a ProCreative Ecosmos Hereditary UniVerse
These website titles can well bookend the 21st century advent and enveloping formation of a global internet sapiensphere and its advance in collaborative intelligence and accumulated knowledge. In the 2000s, a college library catalog could be viewed, but one had to fetch an actual book. In 2005 I went to Yale to find Self-Organization and Evolution of Social and Biological Systems about early inklings that a similar complex phenomena is in occurrence from colonial microbes to hominid settlements. Moreover, research studies went on by separate individuals and small groups and papers would take a year to get published.
Only by 2012 did scientific periodicals and ebooks begin to come online, often with access issues. Fast forward to 2023, almost every journal, volume, conference abstracts and more are fully available. I read an article last year about the first use of the “multiverse” word by William James in 1895 in the International Journal of Logic (1/6). A Google minute later I was able to retrieve and print a full PDF version. Today vast projects in astronomy, genetics, and climate study go forth by large international teams via instant communicative postings.
With respect to this now 9,200 entries, 4,500 page, 86 section website, as The Spiral of Science and elsewhere documents, an historic transition to a viable Earthumanity entity appears much underway. For example, on the arXiv.org eprint site these March 9 articles Deep Symbolic Regression for Physics Guided by Units Constraints: Toward the Automated Discovery of Physical Laws (2303.03192) identify this ongoing worldly shift and Network Theory Meets History: Local Balance in Global International Relations. (2303.03774) cite the common presence a deep topology which underlies foreign affairs.
These preprint locales as the physics one above with 2.2 million items, along with biorxiv, medRxiv, psyarXiv and others can be appreciated as complex adaptive systems whereby individual agents (researchers) watch what everybody else is doing. As they respond and finesse their own work projects, the whole endeavor organizes itself on its own, mostly unawares to the members involved. Another case from circa 2015 to today would be how the discovery of a natural self-organized criticality has clarified its theories, and found an invariant recurrence, as the Ecode module above documents.
PediaPedia In accord, our essay seeks to introduce a further Planatural Genesis edition, 20 years on, with this title as a reference volume going forward which can be rightly attributed to the developmental ascendance of a prodigious progeny, aka a global genius. As the whole website content explains and documents, an occasion is merited as a living, mindful, personal individuation comes to roundly achieve a yesphere Earthuman acumen. One can now view contributions from the Arctic University of Norway, University of Brunei, onto New South Wales, Flatiron Institute, National University of Singapore, Dharamshala, India, all over the world. A radical difference this time is that entries for this PediaPedia encyclo- resource would be separate article citations as they self-organize and are posted online.
Earthica Akin to a national “Britannica” if one tries to Google the word “Earthica,” the only return is an Indian woman’s boutique of designer handloom apparel at earthica.in. After so many centuries, a cognizant sensibility still eludes that we peoples live altogether on a finite, round cell-like, biooplanet. By a proposal of this novel, common, higher phase of understanding and knowledge by virtue of an emergent Earthumanity as a PediaPedia edition, a long foreseen salutary dispensation to guide us all through and forward might actually appear.
Ecosmica For 2024, this expansive vista is proposed to convey the true compass of our personal and planetary intellect and endeavor. For example, one might view the Astrophysics postings on the arXiv.com eprint site, about 100 each day, which seem to have an unlimited scientific capacity to explore and quantify any multiversal depth and breadth. In a philoSophia sense, Earthuman beings seem to be engaged in an intended task of recorded self-description and re-presentation.
These writings are drafty proposals as an attempt to gather, arrange and report myriad contributions in a hope to resolve, unite, sustain and survive (kinder or cinder). By an historic adjustment, a vital advance would be to move and reorient our EarthMost sapient presence and promise to a higher Ecosmic relevance. A participatory, opportune, cocreative significance for a fittest, smartest Super Earth to the fate and future of a genesis multiUniVerse might help us turn from a dark to light age ahead.
Our PediaPedia reference resource is now posted as a representative series of annual volumes. In this 2024 edition we repost the 2020 - 2023 Review from the past year. Another phrase could be Report and Propose, as the next 2024 version will tend to suggest what needs to be done to bring a 21st century wumanwise ecosmic genesis uniVerse revolution into full, aware, credible, beneficial, sustainable presence.
A 2020 - 2023 KinderMind Survey of Especial References and Novel Findings
This litany will gather and survey a sequential array of contributions and achievements that are generally keyed to the topical outline. It begins with recent Earthuman conceptual and procedural advances and moves on to an extensive recount of topical realizations and convergent syntheses. (Please view this entry as an initial posting in January so as to place its content online into this fraught annum and decade.)
Collective Intelligence In 2023 and earlier, along with a new title journal, an actual observation that all manner of personal collaborative groupings both close by and worldwise are capable of self-organizing and producing an overall knowledge and solutions. See also, for example, a special January 2024 issue of Perspectives in Psychological Science in this regard.
An Earthuman Scientific Ascent Since 2023 was a year of intense AI innovation, its reach fostered an historic interactivity between persons, groups and brain-based neural networks with machine learning methods. Many aspects from astronomic JWST data to genetic sequences to physical research began to develop integral programs to run on their own under supervision. Thus a planetary individual/computational cerebral/cognitive phase is now underway.
We next post an especial gathering of 2020 to 2023 advances as our planetary prodigy proceeds to learn by her/his own self
An Organic Procreative Ecosmos In UniVerse Alive, Origins of Life, Astrochemistry/Astrobiology and other section, it has become sufficiently evident that a conducive materiality, generative energies and a prebiotic catalysis possess an essential, innate, spontaneous fertility. Wherever possible, florescent life and aware beings spring eternal all the way to our prodigious amazement.
Transdisciplinary Convergences We note an novel merger of Quantum/Classical Organics, Physics/Biology Consilence, Systems Physics/Chemistry, Fractal SpaceTimeMatter, MultiVerse Studies and more as instances where a convergent unity has just now became possible.
Habitable Stellar Planetary Systems As the 21st century prolific catalog of these widely diverse globular objects grew into the thousands, it is lately been perceived and quantified that whole solar orrerys can have an overall mathematic cohesion. After many centuries, in a revolutionary genesis universe they can well take on an appearance as incubators for life’s evolution and emergence in preferential zones.
A Self-Organizing UniVerse Four decades after Erich jantsch’s book with this title, a strong confirmation due to our composite global genius of its robust actual validity needs to be stated. As we record at length here, an intrinsic formative process is found to be in effect everywhere from atomic to proteomic to astronomic stages. For a latest integral survey, see On Principles of Emergent Organization by Adam Rupe and James Crutchfield at arXiv:2311.13749.
Autocatalytic Processes Become Well Quantified By this 2023 year a confluence of new references attest to the steady insistence of catalytic reactions that impel biochemistries and metabolisms to enhance, complexify, iterate, and enliven themselves. Some five decades after its notice (Stuart Kauffman, others) a natural animate spontaneity is just now reaching a wide and deep confirmation.
An EarthMost and Ecosmost Significance As the Our Life in Person Distinction: A Rarest Planetary Confluence of Favorable Evolutionary Conditions section documents, our precious home bioworld has passed through some 20 decisive check points. In regard, its occasion may quite be one in a quintillion able to sustain and develop to a global awareness. We now refer to the 2023 review of The Dawn of a Mindful Universe by Marcelo Gleiser which describes and endorses an historic revision from long prior expectations of myriad Earth analogs to a possible especial uniqueness.
In his latest timely edition, the Dartmouth cosmologist proceeds to report radical new findings about habitable conditions over the temporal eons. As the PBS 2023 Ancient Earth series vividly implies, a major adjustment to the common surmise that in a universe filled with billions of stars and planets, there surely must be other sentient worlds. A realization is now dawning that our valiant, precarious abode may be a rarest instance because of its narrow, just so, survival through so many perils and close calls.
Complex Adaptive Systems Everywhere I visited the Sante Fe Institute in 1987 as it began their novel nonlinear studie, when an incentive and goal was to decipher, distill and express the natural salience of a singular, independent ecode. The years since for me involved many conferences, libraries, meetings from my home base in Amherst, MA. Please see Chapter IV: Ecosmomics and An Ecode Advent above for many glossary descriptions and a timeline research sequence.
A common abstract phrase (CAS) for these dynamic agencies as they organize themselves has become the title above. The prime finding is that they are composed of two distinct elements or modes of isolate dot, node, entity and connective, edge/link, group features. In every quanta to persona to astra realm, an exemplary presence of both discrete digital, cell, DNA, entity parts and holistic wave, relational connections engage in a local interactivity which informs and engenders a third global whole.
Network Topologies as an Anatomy and Physiology The theoretic and empirical study of these pervasive connectivities remains an intense collaborative project. A rush of current simplical, multiplex and metaplex contributions portends their consistent occurrence from quantum and galactic to corporal, neural and societal realms. Going forward, we mention Cemile Kocoglu, Dino Pitoski, Albert Barabasi, Siddhartha Mukherjee and others who avail these qualities for better medical diagnosis.
A Self-Organized Critical Poise as an Optimum Preference Since around 2015, it has become evident that as these proactive behaviors proceed to engender manners of an ecosmic genesis, they tend toward and reside in an optimum, middle way attractor condition. Its technical term above stands for a constant best balance between coincident, more or less orderly, incoherent and/or coherent modes. This vital poise then reaches a golden mean whieench has been dubbed as nature’s “sweet spot” (Dante Chialvo). In its practice at once a reciprocity of both “right and left,” stability and change, entity and empathy, conserve and create and ever on is achieved.
A Common Complementarity To follow up from these prior features, a ubiquitous presence of opposite archetypal qualities merits its own affirmation. One could mention a litany of particle + wave, node + link, DNA + AND, neuron + axon, cell + song, me member + We interaction, masculine + feminine and so on in mutually beneficial reciprocities. On a global scale one may note Tradition and Invention: A Bifocal Stance Theory (Jagiello), Beyond Chaos and Rigidity, Flexstability (Ravn) and the lengtjy Complementary Civilizations section.
An Exemplary Universality As the extensive website content from galaxies to Gaia conveys, by these mid 2020s this generic veracity has been sufficiently found and quantified in iterative, overt, vivifying recurrence from a fractal spacescape to life’s florescence to bicameral cultures. Also known as self-similarity, scale invariance, commonality, this long sought, epochal realization is just becoming apparent, which we want to communicate.
An Innate Affinity of Genomes, Proteomes and Language Now in a narrative genre, 2023 saw an array of diverse literacies such as AI large language models, ChatBots, deep neural networks, protein AlphaFold and on to amenable, next-generation, genomic sequences. We cite DNA language models as powerful predictors of genome-wide effects (Benegas). A consilient ability to translate, Rosetta-like, across these diverse modes comes altogether (maybe Genelish).
A Convivial Symbiogenesis We can report that since the later 2010s and onto 2023, cooperative, shared behaviors as mutually beneficial reciprocities have been found in effect as an evolutionary driver and metabolic wellness across all manner of fauna and flora and every biological and ecosystem instance.
Familiarity To round out this source module, we propose this name and image for a constant trionic composite which self-organizes as the iconic and biconic pairs interact and commune. A brief survey might be particle + wave = Light, node + link = Network, DNA + AND = Genome, right + left hemisphere = whole Brain, member + group = flock, pod, herd, swarm, me/We = US, in similar effect from to stellar clusters to starfish colonies.
Life’s Evolutionary Developmental Emergence While a genesis scenario grows more evident by way of field, theoretic, and empirical studies, a 21st century worldwise veracity has not yet reached an integral statement and acceptance. A vested mindset still rejects anything going on at all. It lacks an attribution to a person or group (maybe EarthWinian), and it remains to factor in a generative code script. But in Chapter V, the Major Transitions, Systems Biology and Teleology Turn sections do fill in significant contributions. But an historic, parallel expansion of life’s long course has occurred since the late 2010s to include cerebral faculties along with proactive behaviors, which is conveyed in Chap. VI next.
The Major Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality Scale Goes Global Since its introduction in 1995 this scalar perception has become widely affirmed and applied, but rarely extended to its human phase. Into the 2020s this lapse has been resolved by dedicated journal issues such as Major Evolutionary Transitions by Amanda Robin, et al in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution (December 2021) and Human Socio-Cultural Evolution by Yohay Carmel, et al in the Royal Society Philosophical Transactions B. (February 2023).
Life’s Cerebral Cognizance Becomes Complex, Smarter, Informed, Verbal, Proactive, Self-Aware As our Earthumanity proceeds to gain her/his own knowledge, a second Cerebral and Behavioral evolutionary procession, over and above, has become widely researched and quite evident. The boney somatic organisms of Chap. V are now accompanied by brainy neural complications, personal agency, viable groups and ciphered languages. Our Chap. VI title reports these further qualities two main sections: A Neural Encephalization from Minimal Stirrings to an Earthuman Acumen and Personal Agency and Adaptive Behavior in Supportive Societies. Notably in later 2023 a composite volume Free Agents: How Evolution Gave Us Free Will by Kevin Mitchell, a Trinity College Dublin neuroscientist, provides a thorough explanation of both aspects.
A Neural Encephalization from Minimal Stirrings to an Earthuman Knowsphere By way of our current worldwise retrospect, the long, viviparous progression of life and mind has now been tracked as a distinct, continuous ramification from earliest sensory rudiments through a sequential scale of complex architectures, relative intelligence, stored memories, knowledge-gain, cooperative behaviors. In regard, cognitive faculties are found to avail modular functions, bilaterality, concerted orientation and mosaic diversity, neocortex abilities, multiplex networks and more. A number of special Royal Society journal issues have appeared and just now Basal Cognition edited by Pamela Lyon and Ken Cheng in Animal Cognition (November 2023).
Personal Agency and Adaptive Behavior in Supportive Societies As myriad in/vertebrate creatures then proceed to evolve, develop and quicken they become capable of personal abilities and communal activities. A resultant arrow of intelligence and information has become paired with a knowing self-consciousness so as to foster a shared public agency. Two subsections cover the animal capabilities from slime molds onward and upward and vital communications from gestures and grunts to written languages. Dedicated issues such as Agency in Living Systems, edited by Armin Moczek and Sonia Sultan, in Evolution & Development (25/6, 2025) report this 2020s procreative genesis revolution.
Complementary Cultures and Civilizations In late 2023 A research field known as cross-cultural psychology has studied characteristic differences between east and west, south and north peoples since the 1970s, as references herein convey. As a result, a wide array of global and local propensities from national policies to personal and social behaviors are seen to form bilateral but malleable opposite individual or collective modes. In a latest regard, a chapter, Cultural Psychology: Beyond East and West, by Shinobu Kitayama and Cristina Salvador, University of Michigan and Duke University psychologists, in the Annual of Psychology (January 2024) provides a strongest definitive explanation to date.
But this bifocal scholarship has not made it to a public awareness so the United States and China/Russia persist as polar nuclear enemies. As the next Bicameral Religions section cites, an archaic regional conflict flares along similar lines. But if these very evident complements could be seen to actually compose a planetary (geonomic) version of nature’s independent, common, familiar ecode then the all children might be able to heal and sustain the Earth. (Might one imagine a geriarchy to pediarchy generational shift?)
Our MicroEcosmic Personal Selves By 2023 our title can post this expansive addition so to record this actual significance. Please see the section introduction for more. In regard, we cite four women and four men whose scientific work and personal profile appears on the Quanta Magazine online site. In a time still beset by archaic beliefs, this awesome expansion (sinners to winners) can inspire and empower a turn from war to peace as Earthlings embark on an ordained project of ecosmic self-description, realization, record and affirmation.

Mind Over Matter/Energy, Space/Time An Open Future As references in this substantial section, Quantum Organics, and throughout the site document, as nuclear warheads now rage, by 2024 it is vital to record and highlight that our intelligent Earthumanity knowsphere has apparently attained a limitless capacity to learn all about and then act upon physical principles, chemical materialities, thermodynamic forces, galactic vistas across any micro, midway or macro realm. Key factors are the occurrence of advanced (AI)computation, instruments, satellites, along with collaborative projects, daily postings and so on. By these lights and abilities, we valiant peoples seem to have an intrinsic relevance and ordination to begin a new unified, near and far Earthropocene cocreation.
