hi, bodvar:

you said:

I don't know if you have spotted my sequence: Interaction-
Sensation-Emotion-Reason as "representing" (or carriers) of the
various level's value? I agree absolutely with your observation that
SENSATION is Biology's key. Check the rest of the list

No, i havent seen the list. where is it? I would like to check it out.

you also said:

Consequently a lizard doesn't know the concept "rain" or "wetness"
(intellectually/linguistic/subject-objectively), but SENSATIONS guide
its existence perfectly.

i think i see what you mean, bodvar. sensations will allow it to choose what is valuable in its situation and avoid less valuable ones. in that sense "good and evil" is known at a biological level. is that what you mean?

(PS. (I would have preferred you dropping the HTML format

you mean the colors and fonts? why?
