Fractal Evolution

 I/II (see diagram below)- No counterpart in physical systems/organisms

III- Akin to pluripotent stem cell with multipotentiality

IV-Akin to  developing limb exposed to morphogen/growth factor gradient

V-Akin to developed limb, post-exposure to morphogen gradient

Pravritti (External activity/Karma, not the same as Karma-Yoga) and Nivritti (Internally directed meditation/Jnana Yoga, not the same as Jnana)

The meditative process is akin to the catalytic enzyme which overcomes the energy barrier via transition.

Since patterns in physical evolution directed outwards i.e. Pravritti follow the opposite direction in the same pathway as psychological evolution directed inwards i.e. Nivritti, I call evolution a Fractal development via phase transitions of vibratory energy reversibly to matter.

Fractal is not the way it looks, but the way it behaves.

Dealing with Cognitive Biases

A possible solution:

Question: What are the priors/assumptions whose lens via which you are interrogating truth?
Could not priors/assumptions of the mind be associated with cognitive bias?
Thus cannot the mind be stilled (via meditation processes) before one interrogates the truth?

This may lead to better thinking and more productive researchers and scientists.
