Re: Robert Rosen's working notes...

Hi Everyone,

I'm down in Virginia on a business trip right now but finally able to retrieve my email.

Ayten's comments and questions on comparisons between male and female brains 
(or  between male and female "anything") are of interest in several ways with 
regards to issues Rosennean Complexity addresses.

On the one hand, I think that-- in the same way that the chicken and the egg entail 
each other-- any species which has two genders, it can be said that each gender 
entails the other. I think each also has the other encoded within it, just as the female 
body has, say, the nutritional needs of an infant encoded; these are all aspects of the 
"internal predictive models" that are discussed in Anticipatory Systems. It's a little 
tricky to discuss some of these aspects on a public forum because it could easily 
degenerate  into either camp or overtly sexual terms that some are bound to find 
offensive. However, I think it's important to point out that the term "anatomically 
correct for each other" infers a great deal of information that must be encoded about 
anatomy which the OTHER gender possesses. I've heard the male body described, by 
a famous male author whose name escapes me at the moment... as "a delivery 
system" which externalizes everything. I asked my father, who was alive at the time 
that article came out, whether he would agree with it, and he said basically he did. 
What it means, I think, is that the male body has the information encoded within it 
that the female body internalizes.

So, while I think it's generally true that most female human brains can multi-task 
much more easily than most human males, for example, and males can rotate 
images three-dimensionally in their minds with much greater ease... I think that such 
differences are not "accidental". I think that the genders have certain aspects about 
each other encoded and I also think that they (the genders) differ for a reason. 
I suspect the reason has something to do with "complementarity".
