To old edition. An Individual and the society.

The many organisms, trying to adapt oneself to the natural environment, form the society which is based on each biological characteristic. Or, it may be better to say all organisms are so. If so, would the society like that be born by what kind of mechanism and also be maintained how ?
If it thinks of the thing with the obedient mind, it seems that the first external factor as the incentive to construct a society is the certain circumstances, that is, physical environments of the moment where the organisms as the individuals are given birth. In other words, when a ameba divides to become new amebas or amebas come together to make spores, amebas are active very near to each other as if it adheres each other. And, the situations like that were effective for the reproduction, predation, the defense and so on as if it has been given intentionally.

In other words, it seems the first circumstances like that were the first external factor to promote the cooperation among the individuals. Needless to say, in this case, the creature's certain internal factors act on undercurrent of the construction of society(or colony). And, it also is natural these internal factors are the information transmission being among the individuals, are the intention of the cooperation.
In other words, it can say the internal factors like that, reacting to the stimulus brought out of the outside environment, appear as the concrete effects.
And, this applies to all the creatures probably though it seems the density of the sociality is different corresponding to the species and the circumstances. However, it seems that the above-mentioned information transmission not only is biological theme, but also is the theme related to the theoretical physics and philosophy.
It is because every recognition containing the established recognition with understanding the phenomenon, should be finally considered as one aspect of the information transmission. But, since it seems it is different from the theme to consider this time, it is stated a little at the 11th knot.

By the way, it can find out the germination of society and the sociality even from a microorganism as it stated before. However, if the words of "society" aren't proper for the microorganism, it thinks to substitute the "colony" for it, following the usual way.
Anyhow, there is the information to be exchanged among the individuals at the colony like that. And, it seems it can notice the germination of society, with observing the aspect of the cooperation.
However, if it observes the organisms carefully, the classification between the individual and the colony isn't clear at all as for the certain kind of microorganisms. Then, it also has to apply the thing even to the higher animal if it tries to think about it strictly. In other words, it seems that a individual, a colony and a society, and so on rather are the relative concept, are the unstable concept if it doesn't consider the conditions for the application.

The amebas' behavior of the time when they make the spores is good example to understand the thing. When the amebas fall into the dangerous situation, the amebas, gathering to one place, compose an aggregation having an earthworm-shaped. Then, the aggregation of the amebas like that, while absorbing his surrounding amebas furthermore, roams around.
It is said it seems that it roams around to look for the suitable place to make the spores. Then, they, when finding out the suitable place to make the spores, start to organize to make spores there. But, to tell the truth, it can't judge at once whether it is "him" or is "them". Anyhow, the amebas do the differentiation to the spores and the support-body with organizing like that.
But, at that time, the amebas composing the support-body become the stout state with leading oneself to the death, to protect the spores.
On the other hand, when the dangerous situation is improved, the amebas who had become the spores get born again as the individual cells and start the usual activities.

Therefore, when the amebas compose the spores, it can assume they are exchanging each other a kind of information. If not, it would be impossible they compose a organization whether it is complex or not. And, the information transmission like that looks to be same as the information transmission which is done among the cells composing a individual's body, at least in the viewpoint of its logic.
Moreover, it seems that it also can say the same thing, about the information transmission the fertilized eggs make one's organization establish. In other words, it can assume the aggregation of amebas, at that time, is one organism intending reproduction.

However, at that time, the aggregation of the amebas doesn't look to supply oneself energy. If so, it seems the aggregation like that is a little different from the general concept of a individual. But, the organism not doing the energy supply in the period of the reproduction never be a few. Therefore, even if there is above fact, it can't assert that the aggregation like that is not an individual.

However, it is possible that each ameba composing one aggregation has the characteristic genes different from each. Needless to say, a individual usually is born from one cell or from the fertilized egg. In other words, it doesn't seem one cell composing the body has the different gene from other cells of the same individual. If so, by any chance, the aggregation composed of the amebas may not be the individual.
However, if it observes the organisms strictly, others' genes get into the cells of the individual from the outside world as a time and cooperate with other genes to maintain the said organism, keeping staying. And, conversely, there also are the genes as a time going out from one's organism. If so, it can't assert that all the cells composing the individual always have the same combination of the genes. The concept of a individual looks to be not so clear, even if it doesn't want the vague situation like that.

By the way, the individuals, with cooperating each, form the society. It seems the aspect like that resembles the aspect of the organism formation very much. In other words, it seems that the inherent factor of organizing the cells to create one organism has the same characteristic as the inherent factor of forming the society. And, if so, the two inherent factors like that may be based on similar or same genetic information. At least, it is certain that the inherent factors like that act, based on the same logic. At the moment, it can't show the obvious evidence.
But it seems that this reasoning is proper. It is because it seems that the purpose of a society and organism is the species-preservation, is finally the reproduction, evolution and preservation of the genetic information. And, it is because it seems that the same logic of something is acting for the formation of individual and for the formation of the colony and society.

Anyhow, if there aren't errors at above process of thinking, it seems that the above logic and ambiguity between the concept of a individual and colony should be applied not only to the colony of microorganisms but also to the colony and society of the higher forms of life. And, since the mankind also is a multicellular organism, of course, it can say that the above logic and ambiguity are applied to the human society as well. Moreover the aspect like that is seen even into the relationship among the different species. Probably, it seems it can apply this logic until reaching to at least the ecosystem.
However, as for the detail, it is stated later. After this, it thinks about an individual and a society a little more with understanding the above viewpoint. And, it is natural that the reasoning like that is related to the understanding about evolution.

The society has the organizations always. And, it seems the minimum unit composing the organization usually is so-called individual. However, the form and complexity of the society is very different each, corresponding to the biological species, and so on. And, it seems the difference like that is brought by the following two factors. That is, it is the difference in the effect of the natural environment corresponding to the species and is the difference in the organism's reaction to that environment. In this case, the organism's reaction includes the gene's reaction, the brain's reaction, etc.
Needless to say, it is natural that the reaction from one genetic factor is decided by the relationship with other genetic factors. However, it is certain the organism's behavior is influenced considerably not only from the above-mentioned two factors but also from the "characteristic form and quality" the said organism has.
So, the factors to be based on the genetic trait which would regulate organism's behavior can be classed to the next four elements.


1: The mean value at the individual's size and shape about the certain species.
2: The mean value of the ability for the behavior and perception.
3: The existence of the sex. And, the aspect of the sex.
4: A difference of the configuration about each individual at same species.(The size is considered, too.).

Needless to say, the above-mentioned four elements are applied to the same colony in principle.

By the way, it seems that the "characteristic form and quality" like that is natural environment, that is, the outside environment to cope with if it is seen from the genes. Needless to say, the "characteristic form and quality" appears with the influence of genetic factors and of outside environment.
However, as for above reasoning, even if it replaces the "characteristic form and quality" with genetic trait, there wouldn't be so problem. Anyhow, it seems there is the genetic factor group who judge the "characteristic form and quality" of one's organism is the outside environment to cope with.
If so, it seems the genetic factors like that also administer the sociality and the form of the society to organisms if it considers the ambiguity of the individual and colony and if the future consideration is proper.
So, it gave the genetic factor group like that the name of "social formation-genetic factor group". And, in this case, since the social form-genetic factor group regards the "characteristic formand quality" as the outside environment and copes with the "characteristic form and quality", the genetic factor group like that is relating to evolution deeply. In other words, it can say the social formation-genetic factor group like that is the fundamental internal factors at evolution. But, as for the details, it is stated later.
