Without intelligence all activity would be random and chaotic, just as our machines need the intelligence of an operator or to function autonomously or semi-autonomously, they must be directed by AI, we must recognize that all activities of all plants and animals must also be directed by intelligence, some learned and also by Intrinsic Intelligence (II), which we refer to as instinct.
The reason our best and brightest scientists and technologists seek to emulate the work of Nature is that we recognize the designs of all systems in Nature are of such sophistication that not only can they not be the product of random happenstance but the very best we can accomplish is to be able to emulate these processes, as not only all our sciences journeys of discovery of what was created by Nature.
What we can observe in Nature is that along with the physiological changes observed in evolution, we can now recognize that there is embedded II that is distinct to each species so that a spider does not have to learn to spin a web, or birds to build very intricate nests etc., this sophisticated knowledge must be embedded in the memory of these species as it is not learned from observation or tutelage.
Before intelligence, we need sensorsAlthough sensors themselves cannot be built without a thorough understanding of the stimuli to which each type of sensor must respond, they are essential to transmit information that can be processed to make intelligent decisions.
There must be an Internal Processing System (IProSys) that like DNA is intrinsic to every living organism and may also be part of every cell, it may be what constitutes life itself!DNA is like a database or blueprint, it does nothing on its' own, something has to read it and make use of the information to direct activities based on this blueprint, this would be the Internal Processing System (IProSys) and this must exist like DNA at the cellular level
From unicellular organisms to a fertilized egg, neither of which has a brain(!)each is capable of, or directed by
some decision-making processes, from the unicellular organism(amoeba/paramecium etc.) being able to identify what to consume or avoid to the division/manufacturing of cells in a fertilized eggs that knows or is directed to start cell division and at what point to transition from simple cell division to creating the specialized cells and systems that become an entire new organism. Even activities of stem cells or our immune system etc. are directed by some form of IProSys.
The book takes the reader on a journey into the details of these highly advanced and sophisticated systems and invites the reader to draw their own conclusions as to who or what could design these advanced sensors and also embed the distinct and specialized programming which we observe as the instincts of every specie.
