See  Popper's Non-dualist Theory of Objective Knowledge  and the remark Popper made in 1977 about abstract invariants being causally efficient: I think that these considerations tell us a lot about natural selection. While Darwin still worried that he could not explain variation, and while he felt uneasy about being forced to look at it as chancelike, we can now see that the chancelike character of mutations, which may go back to quantum indeterminacy, explains how the abstract invariances of the environment, the somewhat abstract selection pressures, can, by selection, have a downward effect on the concrete living organism — an effect that may be amplified by a long sequence of generations linked by heredity.

In John Searle's 1998 lecture Social Ontology and the Philosophy of Society he said:  The question is: 'what is the ontology of social reality?' To begin with, I'm going to make an assumption which l won't justify today, though perhaps in tomorrow's discussion I can. The assumption is that we should abandon the traditional Western distinction between mind and body. We have in the Western intellectual tradition been cursed with this dualism, with the idea that there is a fundamental distinction between the mind and the body, between the mental and the physical. And in some respects the situation is made even worse by those philosophers who say that in addition to two worlds we also live in a third world. Philosophers such as Frege and Popper, and more recently Jürgen Habermas have said we should think of reality as dividing into three different worlds. My own view is we should never have started counting.  Popper's "three worlds" theory seems to ha...

It's a classic tragedy of the Commons situational logic: The Edwards Aquifer is the primary water supply for more than 2 million people across South Central Texas:  Subscribe to  Symbiosis Texas .  See What is Water Worth On the Free Market? Peabody Energy developed two coal strip mines on the Black Mesa reservation: the Black Mesa Mine and the Kayenta Mine. The company pumped water from the underground Navajo Aquifer for washing coal, and, until 2005, in a slurry pipeline operation to transport extracted coal 273 mi (439 km) to the Mohave Generating Station in Laughlin, Nevada. With the pipeline operating, Peabody pumped an average of 3 million gallons of water from the Navajo Aquifer every day. Subscribe to Spagoshi .

See  Susan Stepney - Life as a Cyber-bio-physical System .  My comment : This is interesting. I had never heard the term hylomorphism before, outside of computer science! Being in this sense is the higher ground in terms of which we abstract notions such as matter and energy which our senses could never perceive if it weren't structured. Reductionist science sees the problem upside-down: they wonder where is the structure, but ultimately the structure is the only thing we can actually understand. Think of the particle traces in cloud chambers or colliders at CERN. There is nothing to know about subatomic particles apart from the structure they were once a part of. At the end of a particle track you don't find the particle!
