Picture:
human tissue, made of 6B humans. what makes it a tissue are connections. connections are made thru “chemicals”, manifested as feelings felt by the humans. such connections bond families, friendships, organizations, communities. other connections are done by means of social mechanisms.
the imagined outcome is a clear zoommable picture, that explains the bonds, the layers of the tissue, & the macro behavior of the tissue: what kind of animal is it, what does it do.
to get there, I can take the normal biological investigation methodology, or try a more rigid one, using description logic (OWL) & simulations (StarLogo). I can try use Wolfram’s New-Kind-Of-Science methodology, which seems to be so fruitefull.
Next task: map the chemicals. (not yet the social mechanisms)
