The Cooperating Universe: How Nature Creates Complexity

If you think the universe is a cold and uncaring place think again. In an ever-evolving universe everything -from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies -follows a pattern of mutual attraction and cooperation. This cooperative principle we call Collective Orchestration. It is active everywhere in the universe. It is the antidote against an increasingly disordered world. The question is: What advantage does an organism derive from using cooperation instead of competition? The simple answer is: Acting in a group preserves energy and therefore avoids premature death for the whole group. Hence, those who cooperate live longer. This gives cooperation an evolutionary advantage. Nature rewards cooperation in yet another significant way: To those who cooperate it offers an escape route into a higher dimension. Individuals, by chance or volition, synchronize and begin to act as one. Synchronization and the resulting cooperation are the product of self organization, which can be found in all complete systems everywhere in the universe. Occasionally, this leads to the birth of a completely new superorganism capable of performing tasks, which previously could not even be imagined. Furthermore, the creation of a superorganism prevents destructive free riders to take advantage of a cooperating group because the group as a whole has now reached a qualitatively higher level of existence. E pluribus Unum. In the process of becoming a superorganism it often becomes necessary for a certain number of individuals to give up their lives. To facilitate such a sacrifice of self interest nature offers these cooperating individuals an exhilarating experience that may include the possibility of numbing their senses through ecstasy.
