Consider the gravitational "substrate" provided by the ancient relativity
of the earth, the moon and the sun (as a first approximation).

Theoretically, there should exist some specific level of activity within
the organism which would have the potential to use this gravitational
substrate as a field of reference for motion and/or resonance.

Certainly our perception of time and other key informational concepts
have ben derived from the "cosmic environment" - and by this I mean
our local celestial configuration - a terrestrial earth/moon binary
system orbiting a journeying yet central sun.
