Nature, Besides Sentient Beings, Hasn't Qualia and Doesn't Write Poetry

Since nature hasn't reason- unless one is a Spinozan, a Liebnitzian in regard to monads or another form of theist perhaps, nature hasn't any idea of what is or isn't complex. The fudge factor would be including human thought as nature. 

Complexity is a qualia rather than quanta. Qualia exist in human thought. Computers don't have qualia fortunately or they too would be predators as they physical related to nature, like humans. A human regards something as complex or not, and may debate about meanings that are also experienced as qualia rather than as some sort of quanta in the realm of extensions from perception known as the physical world that mind regards. Some assembly instructions on packages that arrive by mail can seem quite complex, and finding a superconductor that works at room temperature is complex because nature doesn't make it easy to unravel from its cornucopia and discoverable possibilities of things can can be made to exist in nature. There are more connections in the Human brain than their are stars in the Milky Way Galaxy- 100 trillion in a brain vs 100 to 400 billion stars in the galaxy.

Qualia exist in human minds- not in nature.  Nature for-itself is neither complex or simple. Complexity and other qualia are sentient characteristics. I was considering things like stars and galaxies too- not just animals. The question is of the OP is comparable to saying that poetry doesn't exist in nature. I suppose the Milky Way would write great sonnets if it were pressed to, yet stars so far haven't made any that were published. I believe it is possible that some qualia exist in animals, yet not much complexity. I am not sure what the limit would be for a chimp, whale or elephant on complex constructions. I suppose many animals have qualia with primary consciousness rather than higher order (reflective) consciousness.

Remembrance (poem)

 

Maybe somewhere new forests could be grown
maybe on Mars, perhaps someplace unknown
caves and mountains don’t really decline
they just can seem that way
following the wrong signs

Somewhere geckos don’t think and run free
maybe in a desert where flies like to be
spaceships and mouse slips
are cut from the same
sort of theories of morrows
and new things to be

Circles and ages and ages inclined’
toward building up softly
forests and vines
natural structures added to fate
in remembrance of pasts
never so late

The edge of time
seems like the point of non-being
wherever meaning rhymes
with the always that would.

Existential Data Points of Nature

This is a note on the topic of perceptible data in an environment that reaches a brain. In my opinion some environments are far more rich in data, quantitatively than others. Some environments are plain and simple- a square room painted white for example, empty and devoid of furniture, While other environments have far more complexity.

Wild forests are probably the most complex and data rich environments on Earth. Urban areas are probably the least complex. Humans have a history of reducing the complexity of their habitations to a non-stimulating level complete with regulated temperature.

A forest has a rich environment with billions of data points in branches, leaves, tree trunks, angles of trees, sunlight filtering and reflecting on branches, rain falling through a forest canopy, sounds temperatures hardness and softness variations etc. Urban areas have mostly standard variations on simplified, standard transportation facticities, level and uniform auto and pedestrian surfaces, ossified structural exteriors and interiors and so forth. People find an occasional flight of a bird of prey through an urban core to be a novel event, while in some rural areas someone may set a plate out for such a creature.

I wonder if scientists will eventual compare the complexity in data points of Hilbert space for a portion of wild coastal forests, southern tropical forests and various urban cores such as those of Cairo Egypt, Los Angeles and Chicago.

If they get that done and publish their results, and it might be interesting because humanity has for thousands of years moved into less complex environments they made for themselves for reasons of comfort seeking and economic prowess; they have made their intellectual life progressively more complex yet also somewhat common and standardized since the younger Dryas, and have lost the physiological challenges and stimulus to the body, brain and mind presented by the richly complex ecosphere of nature.

Nature of Space-Time

I believe space-time is a field in which people are embedded. It is a field with entropy becoming disorganized and that is what is regarded as time.

Incidentally it could be that If the primary fields of the Universe are finite in substance and all are stretching in expansion with entropy disassociating them that could be a reason for the apparent expansion of space time as  the fields themselves add gaps within themselves.  

 Mass happens to be entangled fermion-built entities experiencing entropy while bosons as massless particles in fields experience it less or not at all.

I have walked a fair amount in near total darkness in a forest with sharp dead lower branches sticking out all around. One keeps one's hand out in front to protect the eyes yet sweep for a path through. One can do that with eyes closed; it is all entirely conscious choices without subconsciousness playing a significant role. The subconscious and consciousness are all part of the phenomenon of mind arising from the brain though. Those synapses and neurons are part of one system that consciousness is the awareness of.
