Gearshif5: Planta Sapiens Flashcards
What is above kingdom
Domain
Who is susceptible to anasthetics
Animals bacteria and plants
Plants create them to initiate pauses in their processes.
Behavior
A generic term. Any measurable response
Anasthesia To put to sleep
Remove consciousness. But plants put themselves to sleep….so
Pineal gland
Awareness of light where the circadian rythym resides. Descartes called it the seat of the soul
Plant blindness.
We give less attention processing plants than animals. They take up less of our focus and less visual processing capacity. They don’t mirror us so how can we develop that interest and empathy?
Plant blind ness and time
Plants are hard to relate to because compared to us, they are in extreme slow mo. They also have no nervous systems oreyes so that doesn’t help.
Dear abi, put googly eyes on plants.
To overcome plantblindness
I don’t know it’s name
So I call it magic
Plants are individuals
They do quick unpredictable behaviors as well as what seems like preprogrammed habits

We recognize and interpret movement as like us
Like we see faces in shapes. We see intention in movement. We extrapolate familiar to unfamiliar. We mirror, and when we create we mirror, which is projection.
Radiical
Growing tip of a germinating root that encounters different aspects of the outside world from light and gravity to physical obstacles and makes choices about how to engage with them about how to find its way under ground.. this is where sentience can be deciphered
Stomata
Where a plant takes in carbon dioxide. It opens a according to roots and leaf level. Stores memory through a chemical
The inverted y experiment
Plants who were touched to simulate crowding invested their energy growing taller. Plants who weren’t touched grew out. They want space a part of the drive to survive I think must come frome an individuals need.
Plants choose their shape
According to stimuli plants react and change their phenotyp
Plants communicate
With scents. They percieve differently than our experience of smell. But there are 1700 different letters and different combos communicate words
The smell of fresh cut grass is the
Screams of a community to warn the next yard over. And all the animals that live there. So then who hears the vibrations of our screams and thinks that’s just what they do when I [mow the grass]
I want to see a [sentience] aware, not in general and not aware of my existence, but aware that I’m aware that they are aware of me
When I say moon sees me, what she’s seeing is my awareness of her. And any sentience’s concept of self is _________ with awareness. Parallel/ synonymous/ inherent to/ the same as. mirror is how you amen
Action potential
Firing electrical pulses for communication. Since multicellular organisms have existed ways to communicate between cells has existed. Not just nervous systems
Mona Lisa’s smile teaches us
Our emotions affect our perspective which is reality
This would teach me something
Create a mirror with a delay
Bb mice have film on their eyes. But their retinas and visual systems are still firing even when blind. When scientists block this once the mice can see they cannot process their surroundings. The act of blindly imagining or conceptualizing surroundings prepares them to sort through images into structures they’ve already formed

Andy Clark and david chalmers expanded conciousness
Includes external inanimate objects.that are used for external processing. Calculators, pen and paper. Planning structures
Brain doesn’t like surprises
So it reduces incorrect predictions
Attention buffer for prediction
Mind has a side by side comparison of its model of reality and what is coming in through senses (reality as you are experiencing it. The Brin is constantly updating either to fit the other and minimize unpleasantness. Dear abi: these are parallel tracks
Perceptual inferrence
When you change the model of reality in your mind to match external reality
Active inference
When you change the world to match your model….dear abi this is done in 2 ways. Sorting info into the buckets of your mind or interpreting it to fit what you already think, or actively changing what is a round you to fit the internal model. There is a loop here that is scary to me regarding the nature of reality. You van never know. Now go to sleep

Empathy
Plays an important part of understanding other species.
We see anything as
Is this me or not me?
Me: do I like this or want to expel it
Not me: What can this offer me?
Empathy with another person can be both
Resonance model
Gibson: Shows relationship or describes coupling between the subject and its environment
We are shaped by
Interactions between self and other
Plants may be aware
We have no evidence otherwise
Single celled organisms learne
When given Maltese in anticipation of the next dose, they create the enzyme they need to process maltose.
I nap therfore I am
Needing to take a step away from the rigors of life seems to be one of the core or defining factors of life
Zapp and zip
They zap a Massimiliano. A magnetic pulse and it causes a chain of neuronal patterns of activity called perturbation. and electrodes measure them and place them in a zip file. The size of the zip file indicates the level of conciousness.made by Italians. Tanani and massimini. Sleeping patients had very low zip scores. They tried it on ppl in vegetative states and the scores suggested they were concious but unable to indicate it.
