Form Quotes
Norbert Wiener (1954) "The Human Use of Human Beings", Da Capo Press.

Carl Gustav Jung (1964) "Man and his Symbols", Aldus Books, Jupiter Books.
Just as the human body represents a whole museum of organs,
each with a long evolutionary history behind it,
so we should expect to find that the mind is organized in a similar way. p. 67.
Walt Whitman (1888) "Continuities "
Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost, No birth, identity, form—no object of the world.
Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing; Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere
confuse thy brain. Ample are time and space—ample the fields of Nature. The body,
sluggish, aged, cold—the embers left from earlier fires, The light in the eye grown dim,
shall duly flame again; The sun now low in the west rises for mornings and for noons
continual; To frozen clods ever the spring's invisible law returns, With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn.
is 5 dimensions
fractal in 1 level, The Human Body is a 5 dimensions fractal in 2 levels. 
The five senses on the head are as five 'fingers'.
Note 1, 1-December-2005 A Note On Decisions Making
You
(E.S.) are
surfing in
Ecoland. As a decision
maker - on your own behalf - you are confined to your sit in your 'space
shuttle' which is floating inside your brain. Your brain is a K2
Х
S1 .
K2
for Klein bottle, S1
for circle, it is
nonorientable three-manifold made by gluing a
cube's
top and bottom, and left and right sides, in the usual way, but gluing the front
to the back with a side-to-side flip. Weeks
p. 104.
The 'events' and 'facts' are perceived in your brain - the walls of the "new cube" - in a way that is not consistent with reality, as the changing colors of the walls in the figure on the left. Your decisions are made according to what is reflected in your brain - the walls of the "new cube" - and therefore are not always rational, but intuitive. The decisions are not always rational but the dreams are really crazy and funny.
Kahneman -Tversky noted this irrationality phenomenon in decisions that involve money (it was this finding which rewarded them with a Nobel Prize).

Note 2, 25-Merch-2006 A Note On Metaphors
See: George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980) "METAPHORS We Live By", The University of Chicago Press.
IDEAS ARE FOOD. THE MIND IS A CONTAINER. IDEAS ARE OBJECTS. the CONDUIT metaphors. p. 214.
For me, IDEAS, IMPRESSIONS and FOOD do not only stand as metaphors in relation to each other but they also constitute two 'contained objects' in two modified (different) systems with the same design (architecture) of nature. Just as sex organs of female and male are actually two different modifications of the same architecture of nature.
The difference between the Ideas (or Impressions) and Food is in the purging process that comes after their metabolism. In order to purge impressions (IDEAS) (after 'digesting' them) we must sleep, since the 'entrance' and the 'exit' constitute the same physical place. When we sleep the direction of the movement changes - this is the origin of dreams - see Klein Bottle.
We have Cross Metaphors - 'We digest IDEAS (and IMPRESSIONS) and think FOOD (and DRINK) '.

A cold lizard sees the world differently than a warm lizard does.
We see why we need to eat fats - just to be mentally health.
See the fractalization of the volume's brain, it is almost Mandelbrot-Set in 3Dimensions.
This drawing shows the evolution of the brain from fish to man.
