Pavlov has discovered that if he rings a bell
every time he feeds his dog,
then the bell ring will in time cause his dog to drool,
without any food.
Science ignored him, mostly.
It is insultuing to compare human psychology to that of a dog.
Inside the human skull, there is one very smart system,
copied over many times, with some variations.
The variations depend on evolutionary age
and so are their quality and
perfection level.
Most systems are quite ancient,
and a muscle memory unit,
and a pavlovian response system,
are two such examples.
Yet I believe, and would care to define for the purpose
of noSoul, a muscle memory unit as the building block
unit of the brain, convenient enough to serve as a model
for this theory, and its underlying research.
A pavlovian response is just one implemtation
of several (?) muscle memory units performing
together a useful function important for the survival
of their host body:
Making a statistical deduction with a sample of exactly
two.
This subsystem in this case, makes the obvious
correlation between the presence of food
and a very specific and precise musical arrangment,
thereby nearly guaranteeing that under natural
cicumstances the bell will deliver food,
and therefore the existence of this system
as a supporter for the host skull is beneficial.
If such a correlation was made, it will last.
For the same reason, if such a system of correlation
has sprang out from some mutation or other
variation,
it will survive.
I suspect such correlation mechanisms are to a degree
present in a primitive creature like an Amoeba where
there is not specifically a central brain,
yet the presence of danger will generate locomotion,
thereby expressing a Pavlov's response resembling fear:
The mental equivalent of the correlation between danger and
the instinctive according action.
We can look at patterns of behaviour of animals,
and judge their level of
perfection from researching
their
evolutionary origin.

Pavlov was ignored because much like Darwin,
he was insulting humanity.
The Pavlov response prooves beyond doubt,
that man will not be able to restrain a drool,
given the right cicumstances.
The most common relationship in nature is that of symbiosis.
All individuals sharing a territory will share portions
of these relationships with respect to very minute goals
in accordance.
The Lion and the Elephant are in a type of symbiosis
because they know how to ignore one another with accuracy.
It is not like Lion and Elephant first met in the
desert 30 million years ago and never noticed
each other since.
It took many generations of perishing on both sides
for evolution to perfect them to ignore each other correctly
so they can share each 100% rule of the territory.
The subsystems in the brain, though independent,
share the same kind of interest.
In a
perfect brain,
the subsystems will be in perfect symbiosis with one another.
Such is the case with Pavlov's Dog.
Mankind, much like the
Orangutan, is not perfect.
Like the Orangutan, man's imperfection is in its most
unique and advantageous quality.
Unlike the Orangutan, who's perfection lacks in the hands,
mankind's perfection lacks mostly in the human portions
of the brain.
Recent research shows that the human brain,
as well as that of all animals,
is composed entrirely of memory systems of various kinds.
It is also known that those systems are composed
of many, near identical, simple elements:
neurons and synapses.
From evolution theory it is implied that similar structures must have common origins, be the structures the legs of a centipede, similar strutures across individuals of the same species, or similar structures from individuals in different species, indicating their common ancestry.
Recent research also shows that muscle memory can be trained without the use of muscles or their immediately
related brain activity. (BBC - The Human Mind - 2003).
noSoul claims that a base uniform unit of muscle memory
composition, can be identified by simple direct research,
such as with practicing playing the guitar,
and can be treated as the single buiding block
composing the human brain.
This includes memory for automatic muscle activity,
but also composes systems for vision and other sensory
perception and analysis and most importantly
emotions, and concious thought.
The philosophical/theological question of choice is challanged.
Is brainwashing a morality in or out
this simple?
Charles Darwin mentions this without detail in the final
words of his book on evolution theory.
During those times it was frightening enough to expose
The Origin of Species, and the ideas were kept
well hidden among the scientific community until
political forces from within made Darwin publish his work.
It is no surprise that around the same time Gregor Mendel
was developing the theory of Genetics in a monestary,
only to be discovered later by his student monks.
