Chinese Philosophy - Class Notes
Course: 750-2920, Univ. of Guelph
(1984) Introduction
84/3/22
Ritual is organized common interest
selfishness is the alternative
Man is basically good, but . . .
84/3/8
Stop thinking this is mine
this is not mine
then where are you?
Everywhere
What did your face look like before you were born?
No limits to mind
Open to the boundless measure of all beings -

Class Notes - partial
(1983) Friday, Sept. 16, 1983, night - class notes
Reproduction is a fundamental characteristic of life.
A single cell divides into two. All of the substances are duplicated.
The two cells become four with the reduplication of two.
At some point the cells do not duplicate exactly.
Each pre-existent cell does not divide
to produce another cell of exactly the same kind at exactly the same rate.
These differentiations relate to the position of the cell.
A geometry of tissues and organs is generated
by the posture and geometry of the cells
as well as their scale and proportions.

Gel Structure
Gel Phases and Gel Transformation
(1983) Gels are extensively related to biology.
Gels are a frequently encountered state of biological form
and biological substance.
1) The vitreous humor that fills the interior of the eye is a gel.
2) The cornea is a gel.
3) The synovial fluid that lubricates the joints of the skeleton is a gel.
Our sight depends upon the reliable functioning of gel biological structures. Cataracts are a transformation in the gel of the cornea.
Glaucoma involves the balance of forces in a gel: the vitreous humor.

Hydrocarbon Chemistry and Microbiology
Brief Notes
(1988) Many fermentative bacteria in soil, sewage plants and the ruminant stomach acquire the energy they require by oxidizing fatty acids
and simple alcohols.
The electrons released are used to reduce carbon dioxide
to the simplest hydrocarbon: methane.

(1983) The computer aspect of the project offers the possibility
not only of arithmetic, logical and structural relationships,
but of even kinds of overstructured or transcendental relationships.
This is made possible by means of the computer language APL.
Primary functions are able to be compounded by means of operators
e.g. reduction, scan, the axis operator, inner product, outer product.

(1988) glia, 85% of all cells in the brain
neurons migrate in embryos, foetuses and infants
glia are guideposts for migrating neurons
glia receive ablatives and excrements from neurons
glia play a direct role in information processing

(1986) Everything is connected to everything else (eliminating objectivity),
by one or more means (electromagnetically or gravitationally, for instance),
over some network or web
(characterized by the number and geometry of connections),
with varying kinds and degrees of directness (range of interaction).

(1987) Has anyone, ever, done any electron micrographs of somatids, somatid spores?
Do somatids have their own DNA, like mitochondria,
or are they translated protein structure
from some particular gene? chromosome?

(1983) Segments of a stem can be rooted in many flowering plants. The result is a clone, a plant with identical heredity. Vegetative reproduction is common in nature. Runners or rhizomes are vegetative reproduction means. Vegetative reproduction yields clones. Plants of almost all species also sexually reproduce. Mating is a sexual reproduction means. Mating is combining haploid egg cells and haploid nuclei. Haploid egg cells come from meiosis in one parent.

(1983) The flowering plants are called Anthophyta.
The flower initiates the sexual reproduction cycle.
The flower terminates the growth of the shoot bearing it.
Death follows flowering and seed set in some plants.
These plants are the annuals, biennials and some perennials.
Capacity for vegetative growth is regained with most perennials
after sexual reproduction.

(1983) 1. The chief functions of leaves are photosynthesis and transpiration.
2. Angiosperm leaves are generally flat thin blades.
These flat thin blades are attached to the stem by petioles or sheaths.
Veins strengthen the blades and transport food and water.
Leaf blades may be simple or compound.
Leaf margins may be entire, dentate or lobed.

(1983) 1. Metabolism is a complex system of chemical reactions.
The plant body is built and governed by metabolism.
2. Metabolism commences by absorbing source substances
from the environment.
Carbon dioxide, water and minerals are such sources.
The plant metabolic system forms these source substances
into organic compounds.

(1983) 1. A cell may be divided into protoplast and cell wall.
2. Protoplasm is divided in three ways.
First, there are particles in the protoplasm.
Second, there are membranes in the protoplasm.
Third, there are organelles in the protoplasm.

(1983) 1. Buds are characteristic of woody stems.
Bud scales enclose and protect rudimentary leaves
surrounding an apex.
Buds occur on either a vegetative apex or a floral apex.
The floral apex terminates growth.
Woody plants require new growth each year.
The new growth of woody plants is normally accompanied by flowers.
2. Primary growth produces the elongation of stems.
Primary growth establishes the basic pattern of cells.
Primary growth establishes the basic pattern of primary tissue.
The pattern of cells and tissue characterize the stem.
The character of the stem determines future growth and function.

(1983) 1. Water is absorbed chiefly from the soil by roots.
Water moves throughout the plant in the xylem.
2. Some water is consumed in metabolism.
Some water is retained in growth.
Most water is lost by evaporation.
This evaporation is called transpiration.
