Zusammenfassung: | Culture, language, organization, science, economics, and technology (CLOSET) do not directly counter thermodynamic dissipation but they are the tools that enhance human's ability to do so. There is no question that they are heterogeneous in structure and dynamics and that they defy a compact algorithmic description. They certainly have systemic properties not possessed by their components. They are emergent phenomena and they reflect the effects of deep historical and pre-historical contingencies. CLOSET acquire their energy from their hosts, as they are obligate symbionts that repay their hosts by increasing their host's ability to acquire energy and other resources that promote their well-being. Culture, Language, Organizations, Science, Economics, and Technology are activities that behave like living organisms that self-created them- selves and behave like living organisms that self-regulate, self-reproduce themselves, self-correct, and self-maintain themselves with the one exception that as obligate symbionts they depend on their human hosts for energy. |
