five classes of cells are distributed to the five nodes of the BCT (Body-

Centered Tetrahedron) (see Figure 10.15), a topological model that is

thought to represent the concept of gnergy, the driving force of all

organizations in the universe (see Section 10.19).

principle of self-organization described in Section 2.6.

Table 3.10 Three categories of structures in the cell and the brain.

Peircean Categories

Level Firstness Secondness Thirdness

Cell Chemical reactions Biopolymer–biopolymer

interactions

Gradient structures (space- and

time-dependent)

Brain Gradient structures

(e.g., membrane

potentials)

Information transmission

(from one neuron to

another)

Neural networks (connected via

action potentials and neuro-

transmitters; space- and

time-dependent)

The third structure, which is built on the first two structures, is thought to be essential for reasoning/

computing, or the ability of a physical system to respond to input stimuli according to a set of rules

or programs.
