ON THE EMERGENCE OF AN ENTITY OF ENTROPY v.0.7.3

Udo Maria Fon

The last decades have shown that the human sensory system is hardly able to process not local events without technical support. And with technical support, the amount of collected data worldwide, can not be worked up by a single human brain. So either the human sensory organs are not designed to see what is going on in the world, or the human brain is not designed to process this vast amount of data. Is there a common denominator of perception and cognition existing? Or is the view of the world always scattered? In this social cognitive concept, specific scientific phenomenons are scaled to social interactions. And describes the interaction of individual and collective perception as co-creation of specific rooms of perception.

The worldview of social cognitive dynamics in the 21st century corresponds little to the linear perspectives that developed in many cultural areas from the Industrial Revolution into late modern times.

This contribution discusses whether the technical extension of the human sense organs in form of digitally augmented perception enables differentiation between somatic and virtual perceptual spaces. And whether a social entropy is to be understood as the interaction of reciprocal perceptual spaces, respectively the pre-condition to develop social resonance. Further, if heterarchical organized groups, group cohesion, and team spirit can be seen as an analogy to neurological information integration. Then the entity of a group can be seen as a group consciousness similar to the human psyche.
