GLOSSARY
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Closed System

An isolated system that cannot exchange matter and energy with its surroundings.

CoCreative

In general accord with a participatory universe vision, a notice circa 2020 going forward that human beings, individually and as a collective Earthomo sapience, seem to be ordained and empowered to take up and begin a second intentional future genesis.

Complex Adaptive System

A generic term to represent the communicative interaction of many free agents, guided by common protocols, from which emerges a nested scale of whole entities.

Connectionism

Another term for parallel distributed processing in the brain made up of many links between functional neurons or elements in a cerebral or artifactual circuit.

Consilience

The integral linking together of principles and properties from different disciplines so as to form a comprehensive, overarching theory.

Convergence

In evolution, a process where features such as eyes or intelligence consistently appear in independent lineages and different environmental conditions.

Critical Complementarity

Another phrase for self-organized criticalities and also chimera whence both reciprocal phases, say order/disorder or particle/wave, exist at the same time. Such a system is not only poised in between two modes, but exists in both states at the same time.

Dark Energy

A residual energy in space which seems to cause the universe to expand at an accelerating rate. Also stated as vacuum energy.

Discovery

We enter a crucial concept that remains elusive which is an actual genesis universe with its own independent existence. In accord, it seems made and meant for human/wuman witness by virtue of a common, familial, genetic semblance, whence every overt aspect becomes an exemplary instance.

Dissipative Structure

An open system sustained by a flow of energy which is then expended.

Dynamical Systems

A general phrase for activities that change over time with novel results such as the weather.

Earth Earns

A Chapter VIII title akin to Earth Learns above as 21st century discoveries reveal and reach our supersphere participation

Earthality, Earthnicity

If one Googles these words, no matches are found (neither does Earthropocene, except on this website). We dub these obvious bio/eco-spherical, common Earthling identities as a way by to begin our vital ascendance we must do to survive and succeed.

Earthernity

A word to reflect what might occur after a temporal course of Eternity and Maternity if it turns out that our Super Earth (Nova) has a unique significance to the future and fate of the entire ecosmic genesis

EarthLearn

A composite for our website email address and to represent our working concept that the whole wiseWorld seems to presently be gaining her/his own knowledge.

EarthMost

As the Earthropic Principle section reports, into the 2010s and 2020s exoplanetary era, it is becoming more evident that our benign bioworld is an especially fortuitous, long term abode for emergent evolutionary transitions all the way to a collective, global intelligence. By this view, our great(est) Earth could very well be the fittest, optimum candidate to discover, decode, self-select and begin a new cocreation.

EarthOva

This is a composite term based on Supernova, the name for an exploding star. It is meant to describe the moment in a genesis universe when an Earth-like personsphere sapience can gain a sudden state of aware conscious knowledge and cocreative discovery.

Earthropocene

Since a present Anthropocene term is inapt for many reasons, an obvious, imperative ascent would and must to a whole, organic, cellular, metabolic vitality with a me + We = US peaceable awareness.

EarthSmart

Yes, it is so vital for we peoples to realize that as our Earthuman phase has gained a salutary knowledge to heal, unify, enhance and sustain.

Earthuman

Akin to Earthomo, a composite word to identify and represent a global emergent evolutionary transition in individuality distinguished by a reciprocity of diverse contributor/accessor members and the whole person/sapiensphere with its own accumulated knowledge repository
