What if it's a mistake in biology to localize organs and organ systems by spatial location? In other words, what if things in multiple locations in the body are better viewed as a single organ, or even as a foreign organism? You could connect them by their chemical and electrical communications systems (are there any other types? temperature? heart rhythm?) by viewing them as embedded in a topologically complex 4D spacetime. What about the human eye? I seriously think there's something relativistic or quantum going on in there and it's connected to the brain by some sort of abstract high dimensional geometry. Same with the ears.
The tongue is more soft, so instead of high dimensional geometry, it may be connected to your nervous system and to sound waveforms and taste-whatevers by an abstract high dimensional topology instead.
Asher Smith
What about applying the same reasoning to an electronic, optical fiber, or radio network (or a social network, if you get very abstract)? In other words, can you factor out the communications protocols being employed by sub-components of the network itself into their own separate abstract high dimensional geometry/topology?
Justin Lopez
To torture the metaphor a bit, you can view natural language (or programming) idioms as semantically connected networks of meaning-organisms attempting to communicate in this way.
Matthew Gray
To give grudging credit to the East Asians, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Indians, Native Americans, and Africans, in roughly the semantic order in which I just thought of them, you can also view human names as a name-organism of all the people that had that name and all the inter and intra name relationships and activities they ever had or could have
Gabriel Barnes
This is just sociological though. You could also apply this directly to genes and the RNA and proteins involved with them to organize those into topological bundles of what they are trying to communicate, as well as what they are trying to do both in 4D physical space and in N-D body-topological space
Cameron Johnson
You could do the same thing in financial markets and general economic models by bundling game theoretic or combinatorial options market based rational agents into communicating and cooperating/competing topological bundles this way
Daniel Barnes
Why is there something quantum about the eye or the ear when they can be explained by biochemical pathways?
Nathan Thomas
Don't do drugs kids.
Carter Garcia
The weird thing about models like this is that scale itself becomes a (scalar or not) parameter along which things can vary, including the entire topological structure and "rules" of the local area
