This Interdisciplinary nature of this story could explore the following concepts, Human, Body, Subject, Interface, Cyborg, Symbiont, Design, Computation, Simulation, Stimulation, Network, Symbol, Culture, Organism, Context, Environment, Representation, Augmentation, Ontology, Ecology, Epistemology, Artificial, Science, Technology, Natural, Life, Rational, Understanding, Boundaries, Borders, Learning, Communication, Integration, Interaction, Coevolution, Extropian, Transhuman, Posthuman, Intelligence, Heuristics, Empirical, Qualitative, Quantitative, Cybernetics,  Virtual Reality, Mediated Reality, Augmented Reality,  Language, Cognition, Discourse, and Community.   </div> <bR> <div> This would also be a great way to explore the “Digital Ecosystems” concept introduced in my PDE.   “Evolutionary cybernetics studies the origin and development of purposeful organization in Nature, Mind, Society and Technology”  F.
