IV.   Complex Life

Complex sexual Multi-Cellular Hydro-Carbon Biologics, also known as “self-aware life” is the fifth (5th) of six possible levels of Hydro-Carbon Life.

All Complex Life may be distinguished from simpler life forms through the presence of a backbone representing the existence of a Triple Neural Network of CYTO, ORGO and COGNO neural systems.

All Complex Life may be classified into three (3) classes: EGG LAYING (fish, amphibians, reptiles, monotremes, birds), MARSUPIALS and PLACENTALS (dolphins, sea cows, whales, rodents, seals, rabbits/hares, even-toed hoofed, odd-toed hoofed, anteaters/sloths, carnivores, pangolins, hyraxes, primates, elephants, colugos and bats).

The term self-aware life is used to describe a unique feature of developed Triple Neural Systems whereby feedback systems enable the species to develop a “third-person” perspective of themselves, hence the effect of self awareness. Furthermore, triple neural system species have the capacity to dream, to project their own reality onto the world and self reflect, to display emotions. Principally on Earth, this represents the placentals, the most advanced of all lifeforms (usually called mammals).
