The Evolutionary Principles for Constructing Object Reality

Our image of object reality as a "heap of separate things" creates an illusion of the object world that we keep stubbornly trying to get rid of, having discovered and considered all new link and interaction conditions for everything existing in this object reality "torn-up" by the intellect. Let us study the classical image of reality in more detail (Fig.1).

Evolution , as the subject of volition, produces object reality , which is a source of subject reality , and it alienates the ego as a subject of that reality, defining him as a tool of his requirement.  The ego, in its turn, presents a tool for realization and cognition of the evolutionary requirements for prerequisites essential at some stage of progress.

The creativity "boundary"(marked in the scheme as a double vertical line) separates the subject and reality. The "boundary"of intellect (marked as a horizontal dotted line) divides reality into object and subject parts, and the subject – into the subject of evolution and subject of requirement.

An act of will (creative act) realizes (makes actual) the transition of the possible into the real, which can only be treated as mechanical in case of "degradation" when the option is definitely determined by specific conditions. The situation of multiple choice between options can not find the solution in the outside reality, because it effects in the "Buridan's donkey" paradox and requires an act of will for its solution not reduced to the "outside" "object" reason.

Therefore, "subject-object" relationship can not be treated as causation relations, and they are expressed in the categories of "creative activity" - an "act of will", "birth", etc. That means they are unipolar (unidirectional). The subject always plays an active part in this relationship.

Let us take an elementary "cell" of creative process in "classical" representation.

The subject of evolution alienates (on the evolution plane) the content of an evolution stage in two forms:

1. It generates finite content in a creative act as the object reality that is a source of the objective component of subject reality presented to the subject of perception   in the shape of exteroceptive sensations;

2. It defines the subject of its requirement that presents the same content, only in the form of requirement, to the subject of perception   as interoceptive sensations (emotions).

The subject of requirement realizes a "need of evolution" as his own need, revealing its essence (on the ego plane) in two ways:

1. it creates the subject of perception of a definite evolutionary stage as a set of equivalent reference systems corresponding to that level (perception) in the subject reality, presenting him the matter of requirement revealed in specific system conditions as interoceptive sensations (emotions);

2. it alienates the subject of will , defining requirement as a motive.

The subject of will performs the choice of a specific option for satisfying a requirement within the bounds of every concrete frame of reference thus, creating the subject of action .

The subject of action mechanically realizes the chosen option by changing the conditions of object reality toward "the means of meeting a requirement". Subject of action unravels the matter of action to the subject of perception directly in the shape of proprioceptive (bodily) sensations.

It should be noted that the subjects of perception and action are, in essence, "quazi-subjects", because they are completely defined by the subjects of requirement and will and they realize one specific uniquely identical option of perception and action under given conditions (frame of reference).

Apparently enough, a set of systems realizing the same option determines its probability.

While a number of options of the subject of requirement and will can be described in terms of classical mathematics through categories of the actual infinite, a more applicable approach for the subject of action would be the intuitionist approach, because it directly operationalizes a specific possibility of perception or action in the future procedure.

The identity of all the three forms of one content is reached in subjective reality (in a specific frame of reference) at the moment of satisfying a requirement, which is an act of awareness ( on the "intellect plane"). The proprioceptive component (action) links the interoceptive component (requirement) with exteroceptive component (means of requirement-realization), causing the respective exteroceptive change in the subject reality..

The result of action alters the sensory homeostatic components in every new frame of reference. The change of balance is a required sensory correlation of the action performed.
