Human Cell Cluster

Symbiosis of the Human System

The human body consists of about 100 trillion body cells and their metabolites. Every single body cell knows what tasks it has to perform to support the whole. Each cell is informed about the interactions of its receptors on the cell membrane and other receptors and will act accordingly. It knows which tasks it should perform immediately. The receptors react to certain molecules that are carrying the Information. This information contains, so to speak, the task description for the next tasks of the cell.

In and on us, we also carry around about ten times as many bacterial cells with extraneous DNAs. According to researchers, around 100 trillion bacteria from up to 2,000 different species live in our intestines alone. This diverse community already comprises ten to a hundred times more genes than are present in the entire human genome.

Innumerable inhabitants of our skin and other tissues are added to the intestinal bacteria. The totality of microorganisms that live in and on the human body is also referred to as the microbiome. If one were to genetically analyze a human being with this microbiome, he would only be about 10 percent “human”.

All of those microorganisms help us to stay alife. They heldp us to feed our body and to defend it against pathogen microorganisms. We live in symbiosis with many unicellular organisms. On the outer layer of our body, such as the skin and mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and nose system live many useful bacteria that protect us against other, harmful bacteria.

Without our bacteria in the gut, we are not viable. Only the diversity of bacteria with their different abilities, we can survive. For almost any kind of food components in the form of molecules that enter the intestine, there is a bacterial strain that can decompose these molecules into other useful smaller molecules which can be transported via the smallest blood vessel to erach every body cell.

In cooperation with the body cells of the intestinal villi, most of these useful molecules are passed through the bloodstream to the liver for further modification. These molecules are then made available to all other body cells throughout the bloodstream so that they can perform their tasks for the benefit of the entire symbiotic system.

The good bacteria feed on metabolic products of the human body without attacking the body cells. They therefore try to protect it so that their useful biotope body remains stable. The individual body cell knows, due to the behavior of the neighboring bacteria, which is good for it and which tries to attack it. Harmful ones are fought and good ones are tolerated as a shield.

Information-Processing Cell

Every single cell is an information processing System, every bacterium every single cell of the body. They all have the drive to survive their ultimate goal. As long as they live in an environment that provides them with enough food and can avoid predators, they can survive.

The human body, like all multicellular bodies, is an information processing System that has taken over the drive of all individual cells of the body as a whole system. His ultimate goal is to survive. Each body cell submits to this goal and performs its specific tasks for the survival of the entire body. In the theory of being, the whole system is called body identity.

As already mentioned, every single cell of the body, like all unicellular organisms, has specific receptors for their survival that enable them to perceive their environment. Of course, they cannot see, they can only absorb information when other particles of matter interact with the receptors via a physical interaction.

The receptors of the human body can be divided into different groups, depending on which goal to support them for survival:

Early warning

Our visual sense, our sense of hearing and our sense of smell are our early warning systems that provide us with information about other entities from a distance. They enable us to prepare for upcoming conflicts as early as possible, to provide for avoiding them. They give us information about the existence of other entities and their movements in space. They also give us feedback about our own activities in space relative to other objects and subjects.

We get a large amount of similar information via our photoreceptors. Man is an eye animal. When awake, our Experience-Entity is constantly provided with an image of its environment by the body identity, which is generated from the signals of our photoreceptors. We cannot consciously switch off seeing unless we close our eyes or sleep. But we can divert our attention away from it, if we listen to good music or remember something visually, for example.

Contact warning

Other information tells the Experience-Entity when our body’s system integrity is compromised. The direct contact of our body cells, with other matter entities will be particularly intense. This information can trigger a variety of sensations. This can range from a light touch like the wind or stroking to a wide range of pain. Depending on what the previous experience of the individual was and the hardwired warning system, which have been developed by the entire species so far via the epigenitk of all ancestors.

Body status

The greatest number of individual information gets our body identity about the inner status of each body part. The momentary state of all organs, the momentary state of all muscles, and the momentary state of all moving parts serve to determine the next micro-goal of the Body-Entity, which may require a decision of its Experience-Entity.
