Phylum

A taxonomic category in classifying animals composed of groups of related forms and classes. These constitute the major subdivisions of the animal kingdom.

Planatural Genesis

After two decades with our original title, into the 2020's we cite this expansion to indicate its novel Earthumanity attribution going forward.

Planetary Patriots

This is an attempt to move beyond the current aggressive use of the word patriotic but only on a national scale. Our actual humankinder identity and allegiance is to the whole bio/ecosphere which we altogether live upon, rather than to arbitrary local borders.

Power Law

A mathematical relationship between the intensity and frequency of an event or pattern whence the greater the intensity, the lesser the frequency. Examples are earthquakes or networks.

Precestry

A companion and contrast to the popular ancestry word so as to imply that a human personal being could imagine having future progeny and evolutionary phases within them.

Precestry

Just as all creatures before us from hominids to invertebrates carried, it would seem, our personal and planetary beingness within them, so we peoples ought to appreciate, as a turn from ancestry, the infinite future, ecosmoscene presences that we hold within ourselves.

Prokaryote

A bacterial cell without a distinct nucleus.

Protein

An organic macromolecule formed by amino acids joined by peptide bonds.

Quantome

A slight change from quantum to so as to imply and give a genetic essence to this deepest animate phase

Quantum Organics

As the section with this name describes, this phrase represents the 21st century revolution from older quantum physics and mechanics so to reflect and apply to an organic genesis.

Quark

Subatomic particles that may be elemental and indivisible. Objects made up of quarks are known as hadrons; other examples are protons and neutrons.

Qubit

A term for an atom or iota of quantum information, similar to the bit or byte for classical information.

Recursive

A process that operates by feeding new experience or information back to a prior frame of reference.

Reductionism

An analytical method by which an object, organism, or environment can be understood by taking it apart into component pieces.

Renormalization

A method from quantum and statistical physics for 'coarse graining' assemblies and systems with many interacting component parts and degrees of freedom. Could be seen as another version of complex adaptive systems since examples are long-chain polymers, stock market prices and road traffic. (McComb, W. Renormalization Methods. Oxford: Clarendon, 2004)

Representation

A cognitive science term for experiential images and content held in ones memory.

Rosetta Ecosmos

The original Rosetta stone had the same passage etched on it in hieroglyphic, ancient Egyptian and familiar Greek languages. Our phrase intends an expansion to a genesis uniVerse whence the same contextual, complex network system is evident in kind at each and every instance.

Sapiensphere

A new work akin to global brain or noosphere to represent a nascent enveloping, worldwise intelligence and accessible knowledge repository

Schema

Another name for cerebrally stored and recalled information and experiences.

Second Law of Thermodynamics

Whereby heat cannot pass from cooler to warmer. A statement that as energy does work it is converted to and lost as waste entropy.
