My political science teacher got us to read his esoteric book, "Science of the Artificial."
Lately it has been on my mind a lot.
A big premise of that is that the environment, and different environments, have signatures and triggers and paths built into it for different lifeforms on our planet to follow. Ants were used as an easy example, following chemical trails as they relate to their environment.
That is a crazy premise to me, mostly because it makes the world on an existential level seem alive!
Before I get too much into this esoteric subject, any body read this or familiar with this branch of science?
