Human synergy

Mind may be viewed as the total of the continually expanding imagery shared by mankind, where images are mental representations of anything presented through sensory experiences or created by feeling and thought. The unique characteristic of human mind to acquire and store knowledge beyond the capability of the individual central nervous system enables individuals to contribute to the communal imagery of mankind as cells do to the body. This process, envisaged as culminating in a noosphere resulting from the eventual coalescence of all individual minds requires synergy to make such a coalescence more than a melting pot. However, whether or not this view is correct, the evolution of imagery initially based on biological evolution has now become a synergic process in its own right. The characteristics of synergy in this context are:Some writers correlate synergy with love, by defining love as the expansion of the identity to include others, desiring to share experience with them or to bear unpleasant experiences for them.
