Scientists have absolutely no problem creating amino acids - the building
blocks of all life - from constituent chemicals. It takes a Darwinian
amount of time to get higher-evolved life forms, but it eventually happens.

This property of matter to spontaneously become more complex is called
negentropy (negative entropy), and it means 'matter formatted by information'.

*   "Platform for Change", by Stafford Beer, 1978, ISBN 0 471 06189 1
*
*   We human beings mean more than the few-pence-worth of our chemical
*   constituents, because information *informs* those component chemicals
*   by means of a genetic blueprint.
*   
*   Life itself is a negentropy pump. The universe means more than a
*   collapsed energetic equation of 'x-heat = x-cold = nothing', because
*   information structures the balance. The result is the sun, moon and
*   stars...

We have a lot of different kinds of cells in our bodies; hair, bone, eye,
brain, toenail, teeth, lung, skin... And they all started from ONE CELL.
And they all knew where to go and which type to become. And how to operate
together in a large complex system.

A single cell, in its DNA strands, holds a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION.

Every cell in our body is structured by information, the DNA helix.

This information structuring is why we don't just splash to the
ground in a muddy puddle of our constituent chemicals.

We are matter structured by information.

Whew!

Cybernetics is VERY heavy-duty stuff.

It can yield the ULTIMATE in control.

It can be applied to controlling peo
