Carola, I also am intoxicated with the capacity of nature for organic design and how form and function resonate across so many different categories. I think that William Whewell’s old notion of Consilience best describes it. When I discover Consilience in the design of the body, my own focus, it lights up my mind with a kind of thrilling inner glow.
I study a new body part, one that is both primal and is a structure that we have only just become able to see. This is because of the rediscovery of fascia, our connective tissue matrix. The deep core is a myofascial synergy. Myofascial synergies are ubiquitous within the body and are the basic unit of action and analysis—but this is a very new way of seeing things.
I want to suggest to you and to your readers that this anatomy, which we can feel and move and touch and which we comprehend on such a visceral level, is the foundation and the paradigmatic exemplar of the sort of design thinking we often talk about finding in nature.
I teach it freely as Musclemonk and would love to unpack it a little bit with you sometime.
Great insights! Myofascial synergy, mycelium networks, universal consciousness. Yes, it it all connected. And yes, it is so by design. In a podcast interview from last year, I touch upon this "design" aspect that connects everything: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3e6NCYp5KGkH9lByygl6pu

Do you understand the significance for consciousness of identifying this universal fractal pattern within a sensible part of the body?
