Extending boundary of awareness ... significance for dynamic density--how
much info space monitored for survival/stabilty
As the instruments composing an orchrestra evolved over time, one can see
the symphony of existence in the development of human senses.
-
The evolution of the five senses consistently represented
the detection of prey or predators at ever greater distance based on a higher
frequency of environmental feedback: Touch, taste, smell, hearing and vision.
-
Whether vocal or tele communication, the rule is that the higher frequencies
travel farther with less distortion. Tuning into them gives one a greater
early warning of friendly food or fearful foe.
-
As new senses evolved, older senses continued to evolve like different lines
of financial credit. develop

In all sensory development, the actual physical process involves a vibration
like the music from instruments in an symphonic orchestra. music
abstract Each new sense represented an expansion of the boundary
at which the organism could sense and respond to its environment to find
some dinner or avoid being dinner.
-
Given the role of ever higher frequencies, the evolution of the five senses
amounts to development of an orchestra with more sophisticated
instruments. In all cases, the frequency of the sensory vibration increased
as the sensing organism became more sensitive to the benefits and dangers
of its environment.
-
Whether a lowly single-cell organism or highly human fools, the symphony
of existence is evidenced in the music heard from near, afar or within.

One of the most basic examples of touch prompting a survival response is
a starfish having an arm bitten off and moving away.
-
The initial sense was pressure or touch or bite. The large, blunt instrument
of touch was a sense by which the biological mass could move out of the way
of pending demise. Otherwise, it did not pass on its limited musical talent.

Further evolution in the watery world led to development of sensing the predator
or prey from cells slothed off into the water. Thus was taste added to sensory
orchestra. SharkSmellsBlood

With migration from water onto dry land, tasting of water was expanded to
tasting of the air for molecules indicating food or death. While water currents
might course at a few miles per hour, winds can carry scents or their vibration
farther and faster. The harsh or pleasant notes of survival travle faster
on the winds at 60mph than in water at 4mph. charcoal grill

Sound evolved as a finer tuning of the predator or prey dichotomy in one's
survival in which one associated certain sounds with certain outcomes. At
600 mph, sound was faster than smelling molecules as well as being able to
travel against the wind unlike molecules. lion roaring

Fastest and finest of all early warning sense on the probability of survival
is eyesight that used the speed of light to forewarn the
individual--186,000 mph.

The sixth sense is the conductor who integrates the instruments into the
sound of survival. The sixth sense allows the organism to not survive by
assessing physical distance but temporal distances as the mind can recall
similar situations of danger or hope. conductor

In the movie the March of the Penguins, the father returns to a mass of young
penguins with food destined for his own chick. From the mass comes a bevy
of noises to which the father focuses upon one that is offspring. How? The
orchestra of symphonic senses. Penguin

In summary on the evolution of senses, they evolved to promote stability
by letting the organism to find food or avoid danger at longer distances.
