The present experiment illustrates how CA-2 examines (reads) its memory and function repertoire. It plants a zygote (CA-1) and starts moving toward it (v Chapter 11). When it hits one of the CA-1 states it triggers it to perform its specific function.
The experiment was performed 46 times. At each time a CA-2 zygote was planted one time unit later than in the previous one, and the moving CA-2 hit a different CA-1 state. The image below depicts the outcome of some functions. The numbers represent CA-1 planting time. Here are the outcomes:
A. CA-1 is shifted upward to a new attractor and CA-2 dies.
B. CA-2 kills CA-1 and proceeds.
C. Both CA are annihilated and the system dies.
- CA-2 may be regarded as read/write head of the memory stored in CA-1.
- CA memory does not store data. It stores actions that are triggered by read/write head.
- Reading changes structure and with it its memory content.
- The nature of the activated function depends on the structure of the reading head.
Our organism consists of two realms: Wisdom of the Body (WOB), the site of unconscious processes, and mind. WOB stores action memories, and the conscious part of action memories is interpreted by our mind in terms of language and images.
