Understanding the relationship between human cultural psychology
and the evolutionary ecology of living systems is currently limited
by abstract perceptions of space and boundaries as sources of
definitive discontinuity. This Brief explores the new
understandings possible when space and boundaries are perceived
instead as sources of receptive continuity and dynamic distinction
between local identities and phenomena. It aims to identify the
recurrent patterns in which life is expressed over diverse scales
in natural ecosystems and to explore how a new awareness of their
evolutionary origin in the natural inclusion of space in flux can
be related to human cultural psychology. It explains why these
patterns cannot adequately be represented or understood in terms of
conventional logic and language that definitively isolates the
material content from the spatial context of natural systems.
Correspondingly, the Brief discusses how the perception of natural
space as an infinite, intangible, receptive presence, and of
natural informational boundaries as continuous energetic flux,
revolutionizes our understanding of evolutionary processes. The
mutual natural inclusion of receptive space and informative flux in
all distinguishable local phenomena enables evolutionary
diversification to be understood as a fluid dynamic exploration of
renewing possibility, not an eliminative 'survival of the fittest'.
Self-identity is recognized to be a dynamic inclusion of natural
neighborhood, not a definitive exception from neighborhood. The
Origins of Life Patterns will be of interest to psychologists,
philosophers, anthropologists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists,
mathematicians, and physicists.
