"The Morning Star"

The playful breeze

Dragged the silky veil of blackness,

Slowly;

Across the sky.

Rivers,

Flowing in

The silver serenity of moonlight;

Trees,

Waving in precious harmony,

As land’s dancers

In the sabbat of night;

The unspoken truth has left

The silence

Shattered.

The cloaked souls,

Restless spirits of ancient chaos,

Arise.

Eyes open, lips whisper…

Secrets are yet to be kept within.

The cast spells, across the waters,

The blood-soaked sins, inside the fires…

“Summon the wolves of immortality,

The ones of madness and ecstasy;

Summon them up,

Off the unknown deep.”

The flames of the birth,

Burning the veil away;

A future to behold,

A fate to be lived;

The Son Of The Morning Star,

Descending at the moment of dawn…

Order, Universal Unity, Optimization, Determinism, Randomness: As Above

Note: The points and propositions mentioned are considered to have strictly mathematical implications and are, therefore, textual descriptions of mathematical equations, formula and statements.

Propositions:

• Structural complexity helps create order, or reinforces the existing order.
• Similar patterns exhibited by different natural systems are indications of similar universal principles in system behaviour. Example: The exponential nature of many phenomena. After a certain point (threshold), the increase in the intensity and volume of the inputs to a system results in an exponential increase in its output; or a type of saturation effect where no matter how much the input grows, the system’s response stays relatively constant after a certain point is reached.
• One of the above principles is the optimization of received, stored and consumed energy by natural systems (read more on the point on survival).
• Some or all of the patterns of behaviour are possible to be statistically modeled.
• The essence of natural behaviour is fundamentally random. The order created through complex structure formation is only partially stable, and capable of changing state and behaviour when the appropriate conditions and factors are present.

What is survival?

The process of managing the organism's energy resources and optimizing the utility of the available energy to assure its proper functionality, and subsequently, prolonging its existence.

Propositions:

• The more complex an organism, the more complicated the above process.
• The unsupervised or semi-supervised functioning of smaller groups of systems within an organism to manage their energy resources: automated, an inevitable result of growing complexity, and dependent on small-scale interaction of building materials and components.
• The supervised energy management of the system as a whole: becomes possible as the system becomes more developed and contains more parts and subsystems that perform more variable functions. Formation and introduction of a control (nervous) system that is capable of becoming advanced and increasingly complicated is part of this process.
• The increasing complexity of the nervous systems among species makes it possible for the organisms with different structural complexities to be able to manage their energy resources more efficiently, in unconscious and unsupervised ways. In the case of humans, the nervous system (and mainly the brain) has advanced to such a degree and level that it has gone beyond its original purpose of simply managing the available energy resources, and has become a powerful tool which can be utilized for applications that have little to no relevance to energy resource management.
