Will is thus the diversion of energy from the power of the whole to the
needs of the system. "The System" in this sense is not merely the
system composed of power and will but the elements within the system
that these two forces are directed toward... the delusional components
(systemitized) which would not be sustained in the absence of their own
reactions to themselves (wrong assumtions and the rationalizations which
keep these in place).
A self-willed system (ego) which diverts energy from the whole for its
own purposes is formed-- one which maintains growth of the illusion of
self as circularly confirmed (condoned) by other egos. I call this
"professionalism"... that a person might "profess" to a particular view
at the expense of a view professed to by another person and with the
assistance of other's in their profession (like scientists might profess
to destroy religious adherents as condoned by other scientists).
The splitting which happens, then, between science and religion (for
example) creates a system which is mutually destructive (competitive)
and allows for a continuation of the whole with no more resistence than
is provided for by chance alone. This continuation of the survival of
the "most cooperative"* is in a form which is outside the systems formed
and is thus a "mutation" to the rationalle of the systems (and systems
theories).... is thus the law of "the ordered evolution of that which is
cooperative", memetics.
*"most cooperative"-- a term which implies that the trait or traits
which are most advantageous to survival are cooperative as contrasted
from the competitive mutual negation of recombinant parts of the whole
which have become "systemitized"-- self-perpetuating, non-efficient,
mutually oppositional, and prone to decay.
