The Lost Inheritance, Chapter 02: Contents

001	Cell Navigation: Do Cells Refer to Some Kind of Astral Body Map?
	How does a stem cell know where it is in the human body so that it can switch itself to become the right one of the 216 possible types of functional cell?
002	Conscious Awareness: What is the Sentient Being I Perceive as Myself?
	It perceives, feels & suffers. But what is it that can assert 'I think therefore I am'? Where is it? Of what is it made? How's it linked to the physical brain?
003	Conscious Experience: What Imparts Colours to The Wavebands of Light?
	Experience occurs in the consciousness. It is initiated by an outside physical event. But it is not a property of that event, to which it bears no resemblance.
004	Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Is Contact Fundamentally Impossible?
	Could there be Sun-like stars with Earth-like planets with evolved civilizations within radio range of the Earth? There are cogent arguments for and against.
005	Fallibility of Perception and Reason: The Paradox of Simulation
	All one's experiences enhance a neural model that simulates one's outside world. One interprets what one sees by comparing current experiences with this model.
006	Fallibility of Perception and Reason: Viewing Orbits and Epicycles
	Simple motion looks complicated and difficult to resolve when it can only be viewed from an awkward angle. Understanding it consequently takes a lot of effort.
007	Genes of Consciousness: Adaptation to Drifting Niches: Gaian Genome
	Does there exist, within the human genome, the encoded information from which is constructed the conscious entity that becomes aware of its own existence?
008	Human Instinct: Natural, Acquired, Trained and Moral Instincts
	Basic mental programming that equips the individual to automatically sustain and protect himself within his terrestrial environment. But it can be manipulated.
009	Information: Syntactic versus Semantic; Words versus Meaning
	Species adapt to changes in their niche conditions. But does this mean that therefore all genera evolved by progressive adaptation from a single ancestor?
010	Logic and The Fallibility of Our Observation, Perception & Reason
	Truth's absolute. Perception's fallible. So perceived truth's fallible. I perceive truth from only 1 point in time & space. So perceived truth's also relative.
011	Lógica e a Falibilidade de Nossa Observação, Percepção e Razão
	Verdade é absoluta. Percepção é falível. Então verdade percebida é falível. Percebo verdade de só um ponto no espaço-tempo. Assim verdade percebida é relativa.
012	Minha Visão da Realidade: O conhecido, Cognoscível e Incognoscível
	Pessoas admiram o significado da vida e do universo. Há dimensões não físicas? Viveremos além da transitoriedade desta existência? Este são meus pensamentos.
013	My View of Reality: The Known, The Knowable and The Unknowable
	People wonder about the meaning of life and the universe. Do non-physical dimensions exist? Will we live beyond this transitory existence? Here are my thoughts.
014	Nature of Conscience: Where do Notions of Right & Wrong Come From?
	I have an inner sense that tells me right from wrong and a strong conviction to do right and shun wrong. Are these part of my nature or were they taught to me?
015	O Universo: Minha Percepção Pessoal: Uma Esfera Cujo Raio é o Tempo
	Qualquer visão do universo só pode ser como é percebido de diversas formas por cada consciência humana, a partir de experiências invocadas pelos 5 sentidos.
016	Observation: Complex-Dynamics Validates My Restricted Personal View
	How can a lone individual possibly make a valid observation about something which covers the entire world and extends back thousands of years before his birth?
017	Relativistic and Complex Dynamical Nature of Human Societies
	Society has no fixed form or structure. It is a complex dynamical fluid of human molecules that appears different to each according to his unique place therein.
018	Universe: My Personal Perception: A Sphere Whose Radius is Time
	Any view of the universe can only be as it is variously perceived by each human consciousness from experiences invoked by inputs from the five physical senses.
019	Validity of Evolution: Problem of Symbolic Coding in The Genome
	Species adapt to changes in their niche conditions. But does this mean that therefore all genera evolved by progressive adaptation from a single ancestor?
020	Наблюдение и ошибочность восприятия и разума
	Истина абсолютна. Восприятие подверженный ошибкам. Таким образом, воспринимаемая истина подвержена ошибкам. Я воспринимаю истину только из одной точки во времени и пространстве. Так что воспринимаемая истина также относительна.
