Chirality or Epicycle

What makes your brain tick?
According to researchers, the parts of your body, if you don't use it you lose it, particularly your brain, the more you use it the more logical and brainier you are. Could that be true?


Is it Chirality or Epicycle in Nature?
Is it handedness, a human attribute due to unequal distribution of motor neuron skills between our left and right hands?

Or are we the result of evolution by natural selections that we favour the guidance of nature?

Not so long ago, we still sincerely believe that our planets move in epicycles (geocentric or right-handed rule from Earth point of view), to explain the retrograde of motions in our universe - that we were the centre of them all.

And suddenly we look at historical art works and drawings by the polymaths, and we started to question if these guys had observed that if nature is ambidextrous or asymmetry.

Once we had to study these guys work through a mirror, now we can rotate, flip or invert their works in our PC, and even skew the colour and shade, we are stunted by the asymmetric mirror images and the ambidexterity in their works.

Empirical research indicated that nearly 90% of us are right-handed, and the rest are left-handed, except the few are ambidextrous. But human nature dictates that even left-handers had to develop their motor skills to cope with modern time devices and combat needs or for survival.

And in nature, almost all climbing plants wind in right-handed helices, yet the mirror image of climbing plants in nature is hardy seen. Even snails or molluscs shell wind in the form of right-handed helices (apart from the few exception of course). Is nature trying to tell us something?

The asymmetry of biological molecule is crucially important to organic life form, example of such as the molecules in a chemical used to cure morning sickness in expectant mothers to be, and the mirror image of that molecules ‘thalidomide’ causes defective foetus growth in womb without limbs.

Yet nature seems to favour right-handedness, even in science and in maths, such as the right-handed rule is the vectors in three dimensions, and even electromagnetic waves or eddy currents seem to loop right-handed from Earth point of view.

Yet the roles of electric and magnetic fields interchanges -- the directions of an induced magnetic (or electric) field is always at right angles to a changing electric (or magnetic) field.

The significance of the mirror images with handedness and the asymmetry in biological molecule is crucially important to organic life forms, even the DNA molecule is also a right-handed double helix, and most of the amino acids (almost 19 out of 20) that made up the proteins in us came in two forms, which are mirror images of each other.

But, the two halves of our brain control our motions - with the left halves of our brain controlling the right halves of our body, and the right halves control our left. Also our left halves of the brain control our power of thoughts, while the right halves control our emotions. Why this cross over?

I have noticed it myself, while I am thinking hard, and therefore the left halves of my brain is in control, than I tend to look to the right. Is logic innate in us with ion signals curved like helix?

Aesthetic painters or polymaths demonstrated nature's handedness with their works, were these observations educated gifts or gifted by nature that had extended into savant cognition abilities in their works?

The objects painted by these guys demonstrated the handedness (or chirality in the mirror image) changed from left to right or right to left handedness, that they can't be better educated than us today?

Chirality is a subtle geometric isomerism which differs from each other in the same way that our left hand differs from our right hand. Although similar in appearance, our left and right hands are not exactly alike, as we had discovered, when we put on the wrong handed glove which never fitted well.

Were these polymaths telling us that nature is ambidextrous, that they had observed a one handedness of chirality in nature predominated life forms, as many of the historical paintings and drawings when seen in the mirror should not exist in the empirical logics.

There are many striking examples of asymmetry in the polymaths’ works, such as the mirror symmetry of hands and faces, and the bilateral symmetry in paintings of the human body. Did these guys understand nature's underlying asymmetry more than today's scientists?

Body by Leonardo de Vinci

Only in recent years scientists started to question if nature embedded asymmetries in the fundamental laws of physics, when they noticed that the proteins made up in us came in two forms which are mirror images of each other.

The significance of the mirror images with handedness is cunningly similar, again unexpected empirical research had shown that one form of the chemical molecules limonene, a form of hydrocarbon, smells like oranges and that the mirror image molecules smells like lemon.

Strangely enough, researchers discovered that the enzyme horse-radish peroxidase (HRP) is selectively taken up by axon terminals in a retrograde motion to the soma. The ability of HRP to amplify weak signal connections in the brain is extensively used.

The combination of alleles or a set of genes favoured the penetrance in nature such as polydactyl, a congenital disorder consisting of supernumerary fingers or toes on vertebrates, where a set of genes present at birth also gave Homo sapiens six fingers, though uncommon.

And from neuroscience, we knew that an extra copy of chromosome 21 in a foetus will disrupt normal gene expression during brain development, the result is Down's syndrome.

Empirical research on traits and genes indicated that tattoos cannot be inherited by new born as its traits, but there are genes or set of genes may dictate whether one will be born with ambidexterity.

Such genes also dictate whether one will be born with brown or blue eyes, and freckles on the skin, or born with colour blindness, the genetic defects for example are all genes related.

As a matter of fact, most vertebrates are by nature right-handedness, research indicated that vertebrates in the wild (our close cousins) also favour right-handedness; we perceive them ambidextrous due to survivals dictate.

To discount the co-incidences that the mirror images shown in historical art works demonstrated nature's ambidextrous understanding in them, raise the question about these polymaths, that if their understandings of nature were by observations or innate ideas.

Is Talent genes related?
The DNA molecule researchers seem to suggest that there was a substantial genetic overlap between maths and reading skills, or between maths and general intelligence that was once linked between aesthetic and autistic.

Initial research suggest 50-100 different DNA markers involved could play the maths genes role, could artistic talent came from genes too?

There are many forms of savant abilities and the most common forms involve mathematical calculations, memory feats, artistic abilities and musical talents etc, does reinforce the links between nature and nurture.

However, some individual autistic adults display spectacular eidetic imagery (or photographic memory) feats are extraordinary. Children born with eidetic imagery ability are known but after their adolescence are rare.

We knew that the brain function depends on the highly precise synaptic connections in the elaborated architectures of the neuron dendritic trees, which are formed during the fetal periods and are refined during infancy and early childhood.

The dendrites of retarded children had many fewer dendritic spines, and the spines that they did have were unusually long and thin. The extent of the spine changes was well correlated with the degree of mental retardation, and reflects the failure of normal circuits to form in the brain.

For years, there been vigorous debate about whether the ability to do sums is a specific skill. Those who are good at maths also tend to have good musical skills and spatial awareness, but scientists are not sure why, that is enough to sent alarm bells to autistic art investors, because chromosome abnormalities have been implicated in autism.

Is Artistic talent came from genes too?
Art works created by known artists with inherited colour deficiencies or autistic artists implicated with chromosome abnormalities suddenly being regarded as inherited anomalies works without fundamental symmetry patterns.

The thoughts of being nearly 1 in 10 of us are having minor forms of partial colour deficiencies inherited, and the many outsider (autistic) artists, showing spectral line anomalies in their drawings due to eye-brain coordinates, sent shockwaves to private art collectors.

Though, outsider paintings on architectural, cityscapes, monuments and buildings etc were of no known difference with aesthetic artists.

However, research did indicated that no outsider art works embedded schools of thought in their works, perhaps help to explain why in recent years art investors prefer contemporary works by living artists.

Researchers now want to see if they can define the DNA markers more clearly only served to enforce the thoughts that science, maths and artistic talents were genes related that nature embedded a fundamental asymmetry pattern of ambidextrous rules in our genetic evolution.

And neuron researchers (and psychologists) await DNA markers which might throw scientific understanding to memory or cognition on savant abilities.

Could Magnetite particles play a part?
Many research projects investigate how to induce hibernation on humans with neuron engineering, since scientists had confirmed that we still possess magnetite particles as the rest of organic life form, does indicate that magnetite domains play a part.

Recent scientific observations indicated that herds of animal align to magnetic field line (head-tail or tail-head) directions while feeding in the field. Further reinforce the theory that nature is base on digital logic, that the universe can be programmed.

The hypothesis of magnetite domains align to polarity is synonymous to spikes in magnetic platter where grain particles represent programmable magnetite domains. Grain particles solve spike polarity problems as each grain became 0s & 1s bit codes.

And the complex vitamin B12 structure contains the biochemically rare cobalt element; where the magnetic platter also uses cobalt based alloy grain particles. Is that a co-incidence?

B12 is a collection of cobalt in a complex Corrin-ring molecule structure (consisting of 4-pyrrole subunits) and was synthesized by bacteria, for the normal functioning of our brain and nervous system.

Where the membrane of our nerve cell is drape with dynamically regulated cytoskeleton elements of microtubules, microfilaments, and neurofilaments, giving the neuron its characteristic shape, critical for information processing.

It is therefore no surprise that a devastating loss of brain function can result when the cytoskeleton of neurons is disrupted, an example of which is the Alzheimer's disease.

In bacterial cells, proteins create and regulate the magnetosomes in a complex cytoskeleton chain form structure, this point to evidence that magnetite domains play a part in our genetic evolution.

Chirality
In particle physics, the idea of mirror matter came from the interactions of the known elementary particles, such as the electrons, protons and neutrinos violate mirror symmetry -- they have left-handedness interactions.

And the law of quantum dictates the direction of an induced magnetic (or electric) field is always at right angles. Is that a co-incidence? What significance of this change in magnetic field which induce a change in the electric field interactions have (if any) in nature, a mirror symmetry law for energy conservation?

In molecular geometry, electron pairs repel each other more strongly when forming 90° angle to central particle than when the angle is larger, and tend to minimize the number of 90° repulsions with bonding electron pairs.

These experimental facts motivate the ideas that mirror particles exist, the right-handedness particles could balance the left-handedness mirror particles. Hence mirror reflection symmetry could exist but require profoundly new thinking -- the quest for mirror matter in the universe is the scientific case for the existence of dark matter.

There is a range of fascinating evidence for its existence including astronomical observations suggesting that most of our galaxy is made from a new form of matter - dark matter.

And the puzzling claim by some researchers that near Jupiter, spacecrafts being mysteriously slowed down, when passing through that part of the solar system.

Nevertheless, mirror or dark matter if meant the same thing should existed, would signal an asymmetric logic in programming life forms on Earth and in the Universe.

Or have we favoured the guidance of natural science that we failed to see nature's logic in asymmetry and the handedness that the universe can be program or indeed nature is base on asymmetric logics?

Even the axon in our nerve cell, usually gives rise to a single axon of uniform diameter throughout its length, and if an axon has to branch, the branches usually extends at right angles.

Electro-chemical properties change when confined in a nano-structure of a cytoskeleton chain form of nerve cells, the properties of ions and electrons change and move differently. To understand it, multiple disciplines are needed.

The study of Chirality throw off more questions than answers, one of the puzzle being man-made radiation since the 1940s, that those who had suffered the same lethal dosage of radiation die within days while few last longer.

Could those sufferers' magnetite particles re-aligned (inverted) the chain forms or truncate (symmetry breaking) to avoid cell death, while most can't re-align as the rest of organic life form?

Also archaeobacteria can tolerate extreme environments and can turn inorganic molecules into energy, though bacterium types share single circle of DNA genome.

The question of dormancy (diapause and hibernation) also puzzled researchers, during high periods of cosmic rays, many life forms adopt dormancy, as well as when food or water shortages, such as mud fish. An adaptation trait to mitigate cell mutations or survivals dictates?

The phenomenon of embryonic diapause (or delayed implantations) was survival dictate. For even seeds been dried up for two thousand years growth again when conditions favoured. Dormancy triggers different stages of metabolic cessations in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

And in a palindrome prime (or pal-prime), the prime numeral is also a commutator sequence in a double stranded DNA, where the 5' to 3' end prime is the commutator in the 3' to 5' end sequence, but does that mean programming the universe, one must code in functional commutator (reversible) logic which can be truncate?

Commutator logic was the base in early computer development, where plug board switches as program storage, before programmable ROM memory was invented.

Now that scientists have identified that those proteins responsible for creating the magnetosomes along a cytoskeleton structure even in bacterial cells, this points to evidence that genetics regulate such complex chains.

The simplexes of nature is synonymous with the mathematics of disorder, the tendency of simplex polymeric forms generate the most complexes secret decoding in life.

How this simplex generate such complexes sequence of coding with just four types of monomeric units, entirely encoded these monomers chirality linkages, and constitutes a form of biological information so synonymously with our 0s & 1s bit codes, yet prevented us the logics in decoding life forms.

Chirality or Epicycle
The Pythagoreans fraternity thrived on the mathematics of nature by using dots has a logarithmic true in the chirality of nature.

The spiral arms of our galaxies for example, where the angles of the spiral pitch and move at a fixed point and constant speed along a line of rotation.

Barred spiral galaxies are common sights now, the hypothesis of chirality in nature is base on the understanding of the directions of magnetic (and electric) field at right angles to changing electric (and magnetic) field -- the roles of electric and magnetic fields interchange.

And in nature, electron pairs repel each other more strongly when forming 90° angle to central particle than when the angle is larger, and tend to minimize the number of 90° repulsions with bonding electron pairs.

The Pythagoras triangular dots system, starting with 1 but limits the dots with a fixed sequence of 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, 78, 91, 105 ... in that odd & even order has a logic.

Without the dot limitation, the sequence of the triangular numbering is set in a frequency pattern as used in music notes (rhythm) as well as in Morse code or nerve impulse, starting with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,128, 256 ... a doubling order, hence the 0s & 1s programming bit code.

A frequency like pattern of information signals encoded in fixed size and duration of individual neurons, as distributed by the number of neurons firing action potentials in a given nerve impulse, such discharge constitute the code used by neurons.

This binary fission like triangular dot pattern takes the form, starting with 1, 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, 127, 255 ... orders clearly place a length limit on the 0s & 1s bit code, and than nature had to have a limit.

As in meiosis, nature places a limit on each binary fission cycles in gamete-genesis and in zygote cell division. An increase in this mitotic rate of growth became cancer.

Chirality linkages of monomers as in DNA sequencing, where the 5' to 3' end prime is the commutator in the 3' to 5' end mirror symmetry; also these numbers indicate the directions where replication occurs, and is 'read' in the 3' to 5' end prime of the opposite strand to complement (to grow) in the 5' to 3' end helix directions.

And the ancient Chinese triangular adding pattern (Yang Hui triangle) takes the form of mirror symmetry, as well as the Pythagoras triangular dots sequence, does imply an interchange role in the 0s & 1s, that the universe can be program, the reversible functional logic can be truncate, and the coding logic in 0s & 1s need not be unlimited in length.

The asymmetrical human brain where the dominant hemisphere controls language, mathematical, and analytical functions, and the handedness, also receives sensory signals from the opposite half of the body.

The brainstem which attaches to the spinal cord has two major nerve fibre crossings (or decussations), the corticospinal decussation is where chemical synapse neuron signals that provide the basis for non-neuronal cells (or glands) and voluntary motor functions to the opposite side of the body.

The crossing of the axons in the medulla explains why the cortex of one side of the brain controls movements on the opposite side of the body.

Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system. They are crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and thought, and allow the nervous system to connect to and control other systems of the body.

A pattern of information signals encoded in fixed size and duration of individual neurons constitute the code, is distributed by the number of neurons firing action potentials in a given nerve impulse. Such action potentials are caused by depolarization of the membrane beyond threshold.

When the nerve impulse is at rest, the cytosol (or intracellular salty fluid) along the inside surface of the membrane has a negative electrical charge compared to the outside, but in an action potential, an instant reversal took place in a thousandth of a second, the inside of the membrane surface became positively charged with respect to the outside.

By deduction logic, intracellular fluid contains H2O molecules in an uneven distribution of electrical charge. Shared electrons likely associate with lone oxygen than the hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the lone oxygen must acquire a net negative charge (because it has extra electrons), and became anion with a negative pole which tend to face the net positively charged hydrogen ions.

In an action potential, the poles in the fluid with sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions, and the potassium (K+) and calcium (Ca2+) ions cause the inside surface of the membrane fluid reversal of the discharge, the membrane itself is a phospholipids bi-layer structure. Ions are the major charge carriers involved in the conduction of electricity in biological systems, including neurons.

When the inside of the membrane has a negative electrical potential, there is a large driving force on Na+ ions to rush into the cell through the open sodium channels, causing the membrane to rapidly depolarize.

As a result, there is a great driving force on K+ ions to rush out of the cell through the open channels, causing the membrane potential to become negative again.

The nerve cells of the brain generate electrical impulses that fluctuate rhythmically in distinct alpha wave patterns, but when the brain is excited, this alpha wave pattern is replaced by a low-voltage irregular and rapid wave patterns. Also during sleep (and in deep coma), the brain waves became extremely slow.

Scientists have since identified that proteins act as magnets to attract nerve cells to each side of the brain were responsible for the two halves development that causes it to become asymmetrical, a property that is critical in allowing the two hemispheres to specialize and operate more efficiently.

(2a) Some theory suggests that the brain has its own map of the body regardless of nerve endings and continues to work with the map even a person loses their limbs.

(3) Neel spikes tend to align in opposite magnetization, thus magnetic platter uses cobalt based alloy particles, where grain particles solve spike polarity problems as each grain then became 0s & 1s bit codes.

The complex vitamin B12 structure contains the biochemical rare element cobalt, and is a collection of cobalt and Corrin-ring molecules (consisting of 4 pyrrole subunits) synthesized by bacteria. Vitamin B12 plays a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system.

Also archaeobacteria can turn inorganic molecules into energy and can tolerate extreme environments.

(4) Max Planck Institute Advanced Publication 2005.
Scientists have identified that proteins responsible for creating the magnetosomes along a cytoskeleton structure, this points to evidence that genetics regulate such complex chains exactly even in bacterial cells.

(5) From personal observations and studies, most vertebrates are by nature right-handedness, we perceive them ambidextrous due to survivals dictate.

(6) Apart from abstract art works, the study in embedded school of thoughts does re-enforce the old adage that a picture says a 1000 words.

(7) In molecular geometry, electron pairs repel each other more strongly when forming 90° angle to central particle than when the angle is larger, and tend to minimizes the number of 90° repulsions with bonding electron pairs.

(8) The question of dormancy (diapause or hibernation) to conserve surplus life-stock as well as long space exploration journey to far away stars.

Dormancy trigger different stages of metabolic cessations in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

The phenomenon of embryonic diapause (or delayed implantations) where survivals dictate were evidence in arthropods, insects often respond to unfavourable conditions by remaining in larval stages for extended period, only emerge as adults when conditions improve.

(9) A palindrome numeral is a 'symmetrical' number which remains the same when the digits are reversed, the term palindrome refer to words which remain unchanged under reversal of its letters, e.g. rotor, tenet.

The palindrome numbers are (in decimal): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99, 101, 111, 121, 131, 141, 151, 161, 171, 181 etc, these numbers were mainly for recreational mathematics, typical palindrome numbers that possess certain properties are:

Palindrome primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151 etc.
Palindrome square numbers 1, 4, 9, 121, 484, 676, 10201, 12321 etc.

(10) The concepts of commutator logic was applied in early computer development using plug boards (or control panel) via switches as program storage, before ROM program memory was invented.

(11) Chirality linkages of monomers as in DNA sequencing, where the 5' to 3' end prime is the commutator in the 3' to 5' end mirror symmetry; also these numbers indicate the directions where replication occurs, and is 'read' in the 3' to 5' end prime of the opposite strand to complement (to grow) in the 5' to 3' end helix directions.

If a base on the template strand says Guanine (3' end), then DNA polymerase adds a Cytosine (5' end) to the growing complementary strand. The genes (biological information) dictate what amino acids are produced, and the amino acids determine which proteins are produced, and these sequences are highly conserved.

These sequence of coding with just four types of monomeric units -- purine (Adenine 5' end to Thymine 3' end) and pyrimidine (Cytosine 5' end to Guanine 3' end) nucleotides forming pairs in which pyrimidines always join with purines, entirely encoded these monomers chirality linkages, and constitutes a form of biological information.

And because each codon is 'spelled' by three bases, the genetic code contains just 64 (43) different codons, the sequence of bases dictates the formation of an amino acid, the building block for proteins, according to a genetic code which applies to all life forms on Earth, and the gene sequences have not changed for millennia.

And through the sequencing of genome, synthetic DNA stands can be create and insert into the nucleus of an empty cell to create synthetic organisms. Alternative genetic codes from synthetic DNA with 6 chemical sequence instead of the biological 4 monomeric units had been created. Artificial (synthetic) bio organisms could provide reagents for drugs and bio-fuel.

(12) Rhythm in musical notes, the chromatic scale which uses all 12 notes (half steps) in the octave (an interval of 8 tones) as opposed to 8 used by the diatonic scale.

(13) Morse code uses binary fission to the power of 5 (25) for all 26 letters and punctuation marks, a power of 6 (26) would be an overkill.

(14) The Yang Hui mirror symmetry as in Pythagoras triangular dots system, both place dot limits on the divisions.

(15) Cell division as in gamete-genesis and in zygote, nature place a limit on each binary fission cycle. An increase in this mitotic rate of growth became cancer.

The logic of cell division as in gamete-genesis and in zygote, and the later stage of moulding body parts during foetus development is equivalent to programs for 3D ball bearing wheel printing, where genes programmed into the chemical fluids and ions.
