Tabla de Contenidos:
  • Introduction
  • Part I: The Skeleton - the Primary Structure that Sets Vertebrates Apart - is an Evasive Structure
  • Well-Defined Geometric Patterns Appeared in Animal Evolution Independently of the Skeleton
  • Astonishing Gene Permanence throughout Vertebrates and the Origin of the Skeleton
  • Some of the Most Important External Organs in Mammals have no Skeleton
  • Body Geometry Follows the Skeleton only Partially
  • Part II: The Geometry of the Vertebrate Body Takes the Form of Parallel Stripes and Concentric Circles which are the Products of Molecular Cascades
  • Longitudinal and Transversal Stripes in Vertebrates
  • The Geometric Patterns of Zebras and of Transgenic Mice are Directed by Specific Genes - the Geometry of Mammals Becomes Also Molecular
  • The Eye - a Main Center of Circularity with Implications for Development and Evolution
  • The Circularity of the Vertebrate Body
  • Concentric Circles are a General Feature of Vertebrates
  • Two Poles of Circularity: Head-Neck and Rump
  • Part III: Geometry - an Obsession of the Animal and Human Minds
  • Science from its Onset to the Present has been Pervaded by Geometry
  • Spirals Produced by Inert Matter as well as by Spiders and Humans
  • Hexagons Formed by Molecules and by the Minds of Wasps and Humans
  • Part IV: The Mind Consists of the Same Matter that has Displayed Order and Coherence throughout its Evolution
  • It may Sound Outrageous but the Human Condition Appears to be Anchored in the Organization of Galaxies
  • The Evolution of Matter is Characterized by Geometry and Permanence
  • Self-Assembly - the Primary Source of Coherence
  • Part V: The Brain has its Own Geometry and is Able to Change the Body’s Geometry in Seconds
  • The Presence of Chromosomes is not Obligatory for Brain Function Brain, Eye, Blood and Skin Cells Work Efficiently without a Nucleus
  • The Ordered Origin of the Brain
  • The Brain Turns Out to have its Own Geometry
  • Left and Right Side, of the Body and of the Brain, are not Mirror Images and Behave Independently
  • How the Brain Changes the Body Geometry at Will
  • Part VI: The Brain is an Unreliable Magician
  • The Concept of Soul Became Evident Following the Agricultural Revolution 8,000 B.C
  • How it Changed Since Then
  • Brain Imagery - Visual Perception of Form, Color and Motion
  • The Dream - Another Form of Brain Imagery
  • Plato had no Electron Microscope - Molecular Geometry Reverses his Concept of Reality.
