7. The information and the cognition-subject.
	At the former knot, it showed the space-time form necessary for cognition-person's getting a perception. Thereupon, it has to think about information here. This is natural course because it is that a information keeps the relationship of cognition-person and its object. Now, evolution of all creature to include the mankind not only is the evolution of information but also is evolution of the form of the perceiving, that is, the perception form. Even if it says evolution of the information genes have is evolution of the form of the perceiving, it never be exaggeration. And, at the organism of higher forms, evolution of the form of the perceiving - perception form - evolved the mental footing called the culture, that is, the acquired perception form. In passing, it needs hardly to be said culture is based on the characteristic worldview the said community has. Moreover, it is natural that the concept of the perception form includes the way or mechanism of perceiving. Evolution is nothing else but to be evolution and diversification of the information. And, evolution of organisms, that is, evolution of genetic information brings the diversification and evolution of the perception form. Moreover, the diversification and evolution of the perception form like that brings not only the diversification and evolution of the information but also the diversification and evolution of form of the information. In other words, evolution of information always carries evolution and diversification of the perceiving. It isn't so hard to understand this if it recollects the organism perceives the stimulus coming from the outside world as the certain information with the said organism's characteristic perception form. By the way, even the form of perceiving also is a kind of information if it is said strictly. So, it can think evolution of all things is evolution of the information and evolution of its medium finally. Thereupon, it shows the aspect of the formation(change) of information with the following equation at the moment. A = outside environment + inside environment + a inborn factor(or a receiver's original internal factor) for perceiving a information. (This equation was quoted from the "Civilization and living body" which is another paper of mine). In this case, the "A" of left side in the above equation is vector and expresses one set of the perceived information by one cognition-person. The explanation about this set is stated later because it is complex. Needless to say, this vector is gotten by calculating the right side of this equation. In passing, the concept of information, at this equation includes not only the contents(information as the narrow meaning) but also the form(the medium and the rule for the said medium). The outside environment of the right side is the set of the stimuluses as information coming from the outside world. Also the inside environment is the information the said person already has. As it stated before, the concept of information in this case includes the form of information because the form like that often act as information. When one stimulus is given, a person or other perceives it as information with his characteristic way of perception. Therefore, the contents of the "A" are different, corresponding to each even if each accepts same stimulus as information. By the way, it seems the form of information to include the acquired form(medium, language, and so on) behaves as information showing the way of the using, and so on and as information for bringing the emotional reaction. As it stated before, the information as wide meaning includes the acquired form of information and the contents(information as narrow meaning) of information. If so, the information as wide meaning can be understood as culture. Needless to say, it is natural that the information as narrow meaning includes the emotional understanding. The members of the right side in the above equation each function as the individual vector to form the "A". However, the members like that are the change members, aren't the variable as it is. In this case, the change member is set to be substituted in the concrete concept. Not until it substitutes the concrete concepts for the change members, corresponding to the circumstances, it can use the members of the equation as the variables for the vector to be calculated for the "A". It is natural that in this case, this vector at the "A" acts to form a future information. By the way, the outside environment in the above equation is the stimulus brought from the outside world(the object) as the information. But, in this case, it doesn't mean all the stimulus always is the information. Therefore, in this case, the stimulus to not be perceived as information is treated as vector 0. But, others may perceive the stimulus like that as a information. The inside environment in the above equation is the set of the information the said person or other already acquired. Therefore, the contents of the information in the inside environment are created by the relationship among the "stimulus brought from the outside world", the "inborn factor for perceiving a information" and also the "acquired way for understanding the person or other has". Furthermore, the acquired way for the understanding is made by the relationship between the inside environment and the inborn factor like that. In passing, "a receiver's original internal factor" is the concept to be used for the existence not having the consciousness. However, such distinction may be needless if it can think the substance's reactions are the result of the information exchange or if all physical phenomenon is the expression of a soul of something. Anyhow, the contents in inside environment in the above equation are changed usually often by the new stimulus(the outside environment) and new understanding, that is, the "A(n-1)" at the chain of the equations shown next. In passing, the following chain of the equations shows the aspect of information transmission(change of information). A1 = outside environment(Aa2+other factors)+ inside environment(Ab2+other factors) + a inborn factor(or a receiver's original internal factors) for perceiving a information. A2 = outside environment(Aa3+other factors)+ inside environment(Ab3+other factors) + a inborn factor(or a receiver's original internal factors) for perceiving a information.  |||||| A(n-1) = outside environment(Aa n+other factors)+ inside environment(Ab n+other factors) + a inborn factor(or a receiver's original internal factors) for perceiving a information. The appended number to the A or Aa or Ab each shows the converse turn about the time. In other words, the most new information(the most new understanding) at each member is expressed in the "1". The outside environment includes the "Aa(n+1)", that is, the direct cause to form the "A(n)". The inside environment includes the "Ab(n+1)", that is, the set of information which will be replaced to the "A(n)". Furthermore, there is the possibility the "A(n)", Aa(n+1) and the "Ab(n+1)", and so on are the blank as a time. In passing, the situation like that occurs because of "the erasure of the information", "the disappearance of the information" and "the situation unable to perceive the given stimulus as the information". By the way, the A(n) not only is related to the said person's thinking, but also often is sent to the outside world as the information. Therefore, it can say the "A1" is the newest information to be sent to the next taker in that point of time. Then, the "A2" is the information supposed to come into the "Ab2" for the said person, and is the information supposed to come into the "Aa2" for other person. Therefore, this chain of the equations shows the aspect of the exchanging information when the taker and the sender are different at the "A1", "A2", and "A(n)" or other. And, when the taker and the sender are the same, this chain of the equations shows the process of thinking and the change of understanding. As it stated before, the members of the above equation all are the change member corresponding to the selected concrete concept. For example, if the concept of the "dog" is selected, each member is given the contents necessary to understand the dog. And, in this case, there is the possibility the contents of each member often are changed as the evolution, degeneration, erasure, and so on. And, at that time, it can treat each member like that as the variable for calculating the change of information. Therefore, in this case, this chain of the equations shows the process for understanding the dog. And, it seems at that time, the value of vector the A(n) has is decided by the relationship between the said person's internal factors(the inside environment and inborn factors) and the stimulus he accepts as information. In other words, it seems it decides how he understands a dog. In passing, it is natural that the inside environment includes the acquired perception form. The explanation about the original of this equation is in my work, that is, "Civilization and living body". By the way, as it is supposed from the chain of the equations, the thinking is the work exchanging information in the certain purpose. And, if it is seen from the other viewpoint, it also is the process of the logical and emotional calculation to be repeated in the purpose evolving a information or creating a information. Therefore, it doesn't seem the thinking is the works limited to only brain. Leaving the consideration of the consciousness body, it seems the calculation in computer network is the simple example of the process like that. In other words, the calculation like that isn't the works of only the main computer. It always needs to get supported by the other computers, the various machines, the operator the program and the data, and so on. In other words, the calculation in one computer gets carried out by exchanging the information among these computers and machines or other. Needless to say, this also is applied to the process of individual creature's thinking as well. In other words, it seems the thinking is the process of exchanging a information among the brain and the other organs or cells. Therefore, it isn't that only the brain get the conclusion. It is certain there is the case a cell composing a finger gets one conclusion and goes into certain action, corresponding to the conclusion like that. By the way, if it examines the chain of the equations, it can notice the genetic factor and predecessors' knowledge, and so on are sent to the present takers as the information. Moreover, it can think even a thing without consciousness is such sender and taker if the stimulus a substance gives off is treated as the information. Anyhow, it is certain the takers and also senders perceive the information in one's own way. As it stated before, the takers of one information also almost function as the senders. But, this doesn't mean that the information like that always is the same contents as the former information. In other words, the new information born by the sender's understanding or his reaction is sent to the takers supposed to function as the senders. And, the taker also send the information based on one's understanding to other takers. By any chance, wouldn't this process be showing that the space-time itself is the existence like brain? At least for me, all the information transmission including the thinking looks to be the process of somebody's thinking. And, it can think all the mental and physical stimuluses are a information if something has the ability to understand the stimuluses like that as the information or if something has the ability to react to the stimuluses like that. If so, we creatures also may be one process of the thinking like that and also be the medium. In other words, we also may be somebody's eyes and ears if it watches the chain of the equations. Needless to say, someone like that is nothing else but to be me for me. And, it is that it also is you as well probably for you. The unidentifiable soul as the illogical existence appears in this world, materializing as the logical existence, that is, "Kan-musubi"(object) and "Takami-musubi"(subject), with the illogical jump. If so, it can think the aspect of the world is the expression of their relationship. Moreover, it seems the world like that is composed of the information in between the cognition-person and object. The taker also is the sender. The above chain of the equations shows the aspect of the world like that really. And, the aspect of this world had shown the materialization of the gods and goddesses, according to the Jomon people. The nature are gods and goddesses itself. Therefore, we feel the respect and awe of the holy nature at the bottom of the heart. However, since we almost are in the condition to forget one's mind like that, the sense of the reverence like that is about to be lost really now. Wouldn't it be certain the condition like that brings the degeneration of the culture? It seems it is natural that the degeneration of the culture brings the degeneration of the various standard to be based on the culture and also the degeneration of the norms.
NEXT PAGE			Today, since the logic of civilization has become too strong, it seems the people are about to regard the human being as the mere parts of various organizations, that is, the mere substance to use. Narrow-minded materialism like the nineteenth Century and worldview hard to get away from the influence of Newton accelerated the degeneration of culture. The world isn't simple existence able to understand in only the causation and logical relationship. Probably, the Jomon people had understood the being of world like that more deeply than us.
	If it evolves the Jomon people's worldview more logically, it seems it produces the new worldview different from monotheism and also different from polytheism, based on the relationship in between the cognition-person and object. And, the worldview like that would bring not only us but also all people the important wisdom. Anyhow, it seems we have to notice our origin really now.
