#RIP Hermann Haken, father of #Synergetics. His work with my mentor @scott_kelso on the HKB model laid the computational foundation of coordination dynamics, proving the power of dynamical systems in capturing brain~behavior complementarity. His legacy lives on! #ShoulderOfGiants

In Scientific American's (Feb 2024) article 'Minds Everywhere,' @drmichaellevin and others present several examples of bioelectricity serving as the integrating mechanism for functionality or agency across several things such as the Planarian, fly traps, slime mold, sensitive mimosa, and frog heart/skin cells or human lung cells, artificially assembled into a weird new thing. The article states that anesthesia even works to silence the functionality of the Venus fly trap and sensitive mimosa. It argues memory can be saved in a sort of 'state space' held ongoing by electrical signals, even in the absence of the Planarian's head/brain. Almost as though the bioelectric ongoing signal holds a fourier state space summing up experience or some other weird way of holding it. He also discusses 'subroutines' where applying the right voltage can induce growth of an eye at a weird place on a clawed frog tadpole, but the eye moves to the right spot as it transitions to a grown frog.
