A Treatise On The Nature Of Life: A Cartesian Perspective

Three seemingly unanswerable questions first pondered by the sages of antiquity: how did all this get here? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? were introduced to me during my early teen years of biological existence upon this good earth. Following decades I would entertain myself during moments of places to go, people to see, and things to do with the desire to bring answers to these three questions. My tome, A Treatise on the Nature of Life was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office on the eleventh day of June 1984. What caused me to seek copyright status to this first initial collection of thoughts was after a lucid flash of insight allowed me to realize the application of simple Cartesian mathematics upon the several different forms of biological life I had categorized. The Cartesian graphs involve polar opposites: pain paired with joy, love paired with hate, and my treatise is written such that those four elementary, grade-school level words (and others I utilize within the graphs of my treatise) are interchangeable and synonymous with other concise, esoteric words depending upon context. My paper is written intending for the ideas to be quickly transmitted and understood by a young person with a remedial understanding of the sciences and also to those honored with summa cum laude. My treatise collates similarities found within the simple one-celled organism on up to the human form of life. What was for months of reading and editing only a progression of thoughts transmitted by reading from a medium of ink and paper and then pondered upon in the confines of mind, by utilizing Cartesian graphs to categorize each of the simple-to-complex types of life forms, for the first time I had surprisingly transformed a mundane read of my treatise into an almost magical portal where I found myself as if perched within another dimension "outside" of this four dimensional universe of space and time we exist inside of. This perch I speak of is a vista view as if I were sharing a place, situated adjacent to God, and enabling me to also focus on certain biological parameters from the many types of life forms. I have incorporated my treatise into a 120,000+ word manuscript entitled, My Quest For Computer Cognition.
