C-238.1 B-ness and differentiation

The Expansion’s principle of differentiation subsumes what the concepts of evolution and development are talking about. Both point TO aspects of differentiation. But we see them, conceptually and via instances, through a B-ness lens … because, having incompletely grasped the phenomena of collisions, we have been asking questions about B-universe phenomena … to the exclusion of Expansion phenomena and the abuse of S-universe phenomena … the consequences of seeing things of nature and the Nature of Things inside-out and upside-down.

Our B-ness questions about behavioral entities, their properties and relationships, whether raised by a Newton, a Darwin, a Freud or a Copernicus, fail to do justice to the problems* we need to solve in the S-universe and to help us understand the human condition in light of the Expansion.

“Intelligent design” would be a gross overstatement with respect to human steps. There is some, but not enough. Humans, via differentiation, do afford observers the Expansion’s best Tell. That because their steps have extended differentiation the farthest. So far as we know….

* The CEM potential of question (Q => A) and problem (P => S) needs attention. (See Topic XII.) Too much of research is formulaic: too much one or the other. It seems clear that our questions have failed our problems … because our problems have failed our questions. That’s B-ness for you!
