ABSTRACT
It is hard to put a finger on it, but one senses an uneasiness in the world of science. Nothing is particularly noticeable, but there are straws in the wind.
The so-called “new physics” and “new biology” are undermining longestablished theories about the properties of matter, energy, evolution, competition and cooperation. There is a vast literature on this, but a start can be found in Bohm (1980), Davies (1987) and Russell (1993). It is just possible that out of this flux of half-proven ideas will come a coherent language of communicative intelligence and self-organization that will suggest a “meta-science” of physical, chemical and social interaction through which learning and adaptation are signalled across energy fields and time in ways that are meaningful yet mysterious.
