>>21722418The first laws are relatively simple. Biological life is expressed through continuation, propagation and competition.
These are the primal laws of nature.
As a function of these laws it can be concluded that the essence of life is about growth, expansion and therefore competition. This competition is the driving force of evolution, the upward pressure pushing for greater complexity and efficiency.
The struggle of life is eternal. This concept is often misunderstood. It is challenging to comprehend the trillions of lifeforms competing for space and resources at every scale of life at all times for as long as life exists. One may look upon a forest to admire its stillness and a so called tranquillity. Yet a seemingly peaceful view hides an intense struggle for life between the various organisms within. This bias of seeing peace or coexistence in an area of intense life and death competition is due to the limited human perspective and awareness which doesn’t particularly provide a view of an annual long life cycle, let alone a decade or a century for certain trees.
Competition is not limited solely to a physical predator/prey struggle. Competition exists in other domains such as area denial, resource denial, hardiness, resistance to parasites and efficiency among many others.
There are some sub laws of nature to consider: sophistication, consolidation, divergence, cancer and parasitism.
Sophistication of life is the upwards push to godhood. It is the uplifting factor in natural selection and competition from which the most efficient, knowledgeable and noble emerge. The crystallisation of the divine in the flesh. Cancer and parasitism are the forces that degenerate life and exist as obstacles to godhood. Consolidation and divergence are the Yin and Yang of life. As a life becomes increasingly more sophisticated it begins to diverge. Yet at a certain point the most superior of the divergent will take over and consolidate only to once again diverge.
