Irreversibility

Irreversibility-Does it arise due to emergence of properties via phase transition ? Is it a numbers game ?

Finding Balance-Personalized Precision medicine

Homeostasis maintenance is a fine line between order and chaos. One needs sufficient amount of order to perform a function in a focused manner. Simultaneously chaos is required for robustness , i.e. fine tuning inorder to adjust to the changing environment.
Personalized Precision  medicine is about finding this balance.
When homeostasis is disturbed in a living system, one has to diagnose the degree of disorder/chaos and concommitantly administer a drug at the required dosage and time intervals to restore the "balance" between order and disorder.
Swinging the pendulum in favour of order or disorder does not favour "life". Life is a fine balance between order and disorder.
AI or artificial intelligence in medicine can be used as a tool to swing the pendulum to either side, so it has to be used carefully.
A tool is not good or bad in itself . Its how one uses it.
In the nervous system it is the combined synchronous and asynchronous firing of neurons that results in robust brain activity.
Nature is showing us-"Balance is the way"

Vedanta psychology of Koshas (Layers/sheaths from inner to outer)=Self/Pure Consciousness at the individual level=Atman, Anandamaya kosha (Bliss body)= Evolute of pure consciousness consisting of bliss vibratory energy,Vigyanmaya kosha (Intellect body)=Buddhi/intellect body/Underlying mind/Consciousness, Manomayakosha=Phenomenal mind/Emergent consciousness

Refs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosha

Meditation through focusing attention or directing attentional energy inwards dissolves the outer sheaths which are evolutes via phase transition of the self/pure consciousness that make projections of the world which result in perceptual  reality. According to vigyana vedanta, after self realization one has altered perception of the external world, as one experiences the world through the illumination  provided by the non-vibratory self and not through the vibrations of the intellect/phenomenal mind.

The Upanishadic statement-"Tat Tvam Asi"-"That Thou Art" is the result of the above.

Comment

Very interesting and Thank You for allowing to comment. I think the human sensory system and the machines it designs for observation are classical in one way and detect what they are designed to detect. Detection is interaction. And as RPFeynman put it "All mass/matter is interaction. So whatever interacts is detectable. If anything is beyond the detection system/ detection limit it ceases to exist for the detector. So one has to guess. My guess is possibilities and probabilities are infinite and the human sensory system and machines designed by it are observing a sliver of reality. May be Artificial intelligence linked to a probe/sensor with alternate/all possible arrangements of atom can detect different dimensions/many worlds. I think with present technology we are missing the woods for the trees. Consciousness or mind emerging from the brain (a certain arrangement of atoms) which directly observes or designs instruments for observation is only one method of detection.

Anthropocentric bias

Thinking in hierarchies is an anthropocentric bias.

Anthropocentrism-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropocentrism

 This thinking is in contrast to "integrative /systems thinking" which is inclusive, sees the whole instead of diving into parts and arranging in a hierarchy.

What is life ?

Hypothesis - Life is the irreversible exchange of energy of a living organism/system with its environment. Exchange of energy with the environment such as in breathing maintains life. When this exchange ceases to occur living organisms decay and die.
The energy patterns may be compared to information and the energy exchange compared to information processing.
 The evaporation of water may be compared to the above i.e. exchange of energy with the environment, however it is a reversible process.
Is this irreversible process of energy exchange related to the rise of complexity (through phase transition) of living organisms and the unidirectional arrow of time ?
