　　《 The work of a living body is presumed to be collaboration between the living body and its consciousness 》

The work of the brain is presumed to be collaboration between the substance called brain and its consciousness (intelligence). Both appear to play an essential role in the operation of the brain. It seems that the brain will never work when either one stops working.

The substance called brain fulfills the extremely important work which forms (or, maintains) consciousness continuously. And, in consciousness, two big actions of comprehensive bodily sensing action and thinking action are implemented. These two actions are also formed (or, maintained, updated) continuously. Especially, the thinking action continues to be formed (or, updated) as one which fulfills constructive and productive thinking (computation) for the formation (or, maintenance) of the entire physical order of a living thing. In consequence, in the thinking action, living thing's state at the next moment is computed (or, designed, planned) in the constructive direction, every moment. (Thinking is essentially big and comprehensive. It seems that such thinking cannot be fulfilled by anything other than the big thinking action of consciousness which is big and integrate).

And, this time, reversely, again, in every substance of the brain related, the matter action --operation action-- which updates its own material state to one at the next moment is also fulfilled.

Like this way, a feedback loop of the integrate working of the brain is formed, and a big thinking in the subjective consciousness or various muscular movements of body are brought integrally.

Moreover, collaboration between a living body and its consciousness is not limited to the work of the brain. It seems to be the same for the work of every living body such as a microorganism, a single-celled organism, a cell, a tissue, or a organ.

Furthermore, the movement of a living body comes under autopoiesis --self-production / spontaneous, independent, and active production of one's own advanced and dynamic physical order--, and, from the above, it's judged that realization of autopoiesis cannot do without collaboration between a living body and its consciousness.

The same applies to fertilized eggs. In a fertilized egg, cell division occurs more and more, each cell is specialized, and the body of fetus is formed. During this time, the decision of cells's roles and the assignment of their locations inside the body are presumed to be fulfilled by the big consciousness over the whole of fertilized egg. (Only such a big consciousness seems to be able to achieve this kind of comprehensive control actually)

It seems that, regardless of the distinction of microorganism, plants, and animals, the brain and all living bodies would never work unless the integrate and comprehensive (bodily sensing action and) thinking action are fulfilled in their whole consciousness.

However, if we suppose such a framework of collaboration, groundless and unnatural working around the fundamental interactions or the operation action among matter actions are expected by all means. It cannot be helped.

Moreover, this thing is expected to have close relation to the plasticity of the brain and body and the evolution of living things. Furthermore, it seems to relate with the last one third of the question of free will as well. (The question of free will is not confined to the thing about consciousness only, and has finally no choice but to come up against the question of moving substances by thinking).

　　《 An expectation of the brain activity by the collaboration between the brain and consciousness (Tentative) 》

About the activity of the brain through the collaboration between the brain and consciousness in a case where consciousness is microscopic, the following thing can be considered as a tentative expectation.

(By the bye, it seems that, in the same way as the brain, also in living bodies such as microorganisms, single-celled organisms, cells, tissues, organs, etc., the activities of the living bodies are realized through the collaboration between the living bodies and their consciousness.

Furthermore, the movement of a living body seems to come under autopoiesis --self-production / spontaneous, independent, and active production of one's own advanced and dynamic physical order--, and it's expected that realization of autopoiesis cannot do without collaboration between a living body and its consciousness).

From the subjective fact that the senses of thought with qualia of thought are felt by consciousness, it has already turned out that the thinking action is borne by consciousness. (Since senses are like shadows of some action's movement and there are no entities of the senses themselves, senses are not transmitted between plural entities --for example, brain and its consciousness--). And, it seems that, in the brain cells, what should be done or what can be done at the substance side is done according to the outcome by the comprehensive thinking action of consciousness. Otherwise the work of the brain cells will halt.

And, from the theory of localization of brain action, the actional brain mapping, etc., it is known that the actions fulfilled in the brain are subdivided.

Moreover, the thinking action is not necessarily limited to being fulfilled only in the subjective consciousness. Rather, from the readiness potential, it’s surmised that various thinking movements are not fulfilled firstly in the subjective consciousness, but fulfilled in sub-consciousnesses of other low-ranking parts of the brain separate from it.

(There might be thinking movements which are fulfilled only by the subjective consciousness. For example, they are quite ideological thinkings which do not participate in the control of body's motions --the muscular movement--. It seems that there are roughly two kinds of thinking by human beings (and animals), the thinking on the muscular movement and the thinking independent of the muscular movement. (By the way, almost all the body's movements of human beings and animals are realized by the muscular movement. Motions of speaking, writing, playing musical instruments, painting, handling articles, operating machines, etc. which are always relying on (the ideological) thinking are also realized by the muscular movement).

However, it's likely that parts of the ideological thinking are fulfilled outside of the subjective consciousness. For instance, inspirations and the association of ideas rather come from the outside of the subjective consciousness. Many ideological thinkings may also be fulfilled by low-ranking sub-consciousnesses other than the subjective consciousness).

To begin with, consciousness seems to emerge in all brain cells. And, it seems that the brain cells which contribute to a samen single action form a group and a little bigger consciousness emerges in it too. It seems that, like this, in the brain, the hierarchical structure of brain cell groups are formed corresponding to the subdivision of actions. And, it seems that, corresponding to this, the hierarchical structure of consciousness is also formed. The subjective consciousness may take the uppermost position in the hierarchical structure.

In short, in the brain, innumerable consciousness of different sizes emerge with consciousness, which emerge in each brain cell, as the basic unit, and a complicated hierarchical structure is formed. And, such a situation is similar to the body too. It's because consciousness emerges at the stage of microorganisms, single-celled organisms, and cells. So, it seems that the hierarchical structures of actions and consciousness are formed also in muscular tissues and various organs.

About the activity of the brain, what are done through the collaboration between the substance called brain and its consciousness seem to be as follows.

1) In each brain cell, owing to the continuation of metabolism, heat and entropy are generated, but by shedding of them, entropy production rate reduces.

2) In each brain cell, due to the reductin of entropy production rate, physical order forming effect occurs.

3) In each brain cell, owing to the physical order forming effect, small consciousness --consciousness of the brain cell-- is formed naturally in a way of conforming to the state, situation, and the physical properties of the constituent substances, and continues to be maintained. And, in a way of corresponding to the hierarchical structure of the brain actions, including subjective consciousness, big consciousness of each layers are also formed.

(This thing implies that the bodily sensing action and the thinking action of each consciousness at each layers continue to be updated naturally according to the state change, etc. of substances. (This also implies that there is no direct free will in a strict sense. It's because, anyway, consciousness and the thinking action are creatures. A creature cannot participate in its own formation. Still, it seems that there is indirect free will, which needs time, via plasticity of body or the brain)).

4) By the bodily sensing action and the thinking action, which are implemented in the upper consciousness, a state at the next moment over the whole brain cells participating in the emergence of the consciousness --a big, comprehensive state over the whole of brain cells participating-- is computed. (In the first place, the computation action, which is the source of the thinking action, of a quantum is the action that computes a state of its own quantum at the next moment).

5) According to the computed outcome in (the upper or its own) consciousness, each brain cell changes into the state of the next moment. (This is fulfilled by the operation action of all the constituent substances. At this place, it is suspected that, influenced by the (microscopic) thinking action, the fundamental interactions --or, some actions around them-- occur unnaturally. Simply put, it's surmised that the active movement of living things cannot be explained yet by present physics).

6) A feedback loop of the procedures 1) to 5) are repeated endlessly to form integrally the big material movement in the brain. As a result, some instructions (pulses) to realize the body motion are projected to the motor nerves. And, human beings and animals can successfully perform the motion which is intended by the thinking action of consciousness --this consciousness is not necessarily limited to the uppermost subjective consciousness--.

By the bye, it seems that the physical order forming effect that occurs through the reduction of entropy production rate is not provided with intelligence (thinking action). This effect seems to combine only actions, which fulfill ideological work, of the brain cells to fulfill only the work of forming consciousness. However, since the actions which are stuck together were the measurement actions and the computation actions, accordingly, a big measurement action (= bodily sensing action) and a big computation action (= thinking action) are implemented in the consciousness.

And, the bodily sensing action and the thinking action will be updated in succession according to the current state, etc. of the brain cells. For this reason, the states of the brain cells which conform to the thought outcome in consciousness change rapidly. And the body can move dynamically.
