#Befuddled
Game on...on the radio...Angels at Dodgers...with their expertise, Scientists say they are befuddled, which leaves the rest of at sea...yet, yet they regale us with their mysteries, dumbed down from their scholarship...or some such...Detmers for Angels, Saki for Dodgers...the mysteries are fun tho...feeds full of them...
✨️Things that befuddle scientists?
🎶aaand, on the feed a fellow nicked a deer's antler, and after a few days, a new small antler spike grew there...like the Deer healed the antler...worse, after the antlers dropped off, the next season, when the new antler grew again, another spike, even bigger, grew in the self same spot!...such has a name-"morphegenesis"...
✨️morphegenesis and deer antlers
Trophic Memory: Remarkably, the antler morphogenetic field retains a spatial memory. If a growing antler is damaged during the velvet stage, the underlying tissue heals and "remembers" the deformity. When the antler sheds in the winter and regrows in the spring, the new antler will often replicate the exact same branch deformation at the specific location of the previous year's injury. [1, 2, 3, 4]
🎶hmmph...might plants have trophic memory?
✨️might plants have trophic memory?
✨️are pine needles governed by morphegenisis?
🎶yep, yep, but "genetic programming" is kinda wishy washy..."spatial memory" says spatial perception...
✨️decentralized perception mechanisms in nature
In nature, decentralized perception refers to distributed sensory processing where an organism's body or a swarm relies on local networks rather than a single central brain. This biological strategy provides exceptional resilience, localized reaction speeds, and highly adaptable environmental awareness. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Key Examples in Biology
• The Octopus Nervous System: An octopus essentially thinks with its entire body. Roughly 60% of its neurons are distributed directly within its eight highly flexible arms. This allows the arms to independently gather sensory information (like touch and chemical cues), react to local stimuli, and initiate movements without waiting for commands from the central brain. [1]Insect Swarms: Honey bees and ant colonies make complex, group-level decisions without any central leader. Through localized interactions, chemical signaling (pheromones), and quorum sensing, millions of individuals achieve consensus on tasks like choosing a new nesting site or optimizing foraging routes. [1]Plant Root Networks: Plant root apices (tips) act as a decentralized, distributed sensor array. Roots continuously perceive local soil conditions—such as moisture, gravity, nutrients, and potential toxins—and communicate chemically to direct the plant's growth and resource allocation. [1, 2]Human Peripheral Nervous System: While humans have a centralized brain, our peripheral nervous system localizes basic perception. Mechanoreceptors and pain-sensing nociceptors in our skin process stimuli and trigger reflex arcs locally before the information even reaches the brain. [1, 2]
