Assimilation principles

Assimilation principles are principles that deal with the natural assimilation of matter into a natural occurring material system or life form. All life forms take in matter from outside sources and then eventually expel some matter back outside of itself. It does not have to be a fast process or a continuous process because some life forms shut down their functioning for long periods of time thus the matter exchange rate can be zero or very close to it for these periods. The science of superimmortality deals with conscious life forms that are assimilating matter into their bodies usually continuously. The biological assimilating process is usually where the structure and functioning of the body or its parts are not changing much from moment to moment with the assimilating of new matter within it. The assimilation scaffolding is what allows for the assimilation of matter to occur without much change in the body's structure and functioning itself.

Assimilation principles are biological and chemical principles dealing with life forms. As a result a summation of these types of principles would be found through experimentation dealing with the assimilation of matter within different life forms.

The assimilation principle that is most important in this context of the ixperiencit theory of consciousness is that assimilation principles are not the same as supernatural assimilation principles.

Philosophical assimilation principles are often the same as supernatural assimilation principles because they often come to the same predictions and conclusions. Why are philosophical assimilation principles supernatural? They are supernatural because they are concluding and predicting things that nature is not doing. It is often from a lack of clear understanding of the problems and the conceptual tools to comprehend and resolve them. for example The problem can be stated in many confusing ways. The same person or personal identity concepts are used in ways that can not resolve the contradictions of needed assimilation understanding. The concept of assimilation is used to determine the same person over time for the body theory of personal identity. There would not be such a problem for the body theory if the body contained the same matter over its life. time But because the body changes matter constantly it never contain the same matter for long. So what is it specifically about the body and not the matter that it contains that is important for personal identity. The matter that is expelled out of a body theoretically could be used to construct another person with the same structure and functioning that has the exact same behavior and thus the exact same set of conscious characteristics. They clearly are not the same person but they do have other identical aspects. Why is this other person not you? Superimmortality predicts that both bodies have an ixperiencitness and that they are identical. Being the different people but yet having the same ixperiencitness is not a contradiction until being different people means that necessarily they have different ixperiencitnesses. Assimilation in the first body maintains the same ixperiencitness and the second body did not have the correct type of assimilation so it has no ixperiencitness or a different one.
