Constants and variables 97, Sorosian edition
For quite a while I've been puzzled about the taxonomic position of this creature:
The Sorosian appears to be vaguely related to mammals, but it has no species or gender. It has mysterious square black optical sensors which are normally hard-wired to iPhones, and it has only one fixed behavior pattern. Obviously it doesn't need a brain for such a simple repetitive behavior, which is less complex and less responsive than any other living creature except possibly viruses.
This article about birds helped me to clarify the internal structure of the Sorosian "brain-like" substance. The article notes the well-known similarity between parrots and crows and humans. Despite vastly different sizes and structures, parrots and crows do pretty much the same things as humans, from tool use to language to trolling.
Constant: The researchers found that the key, of course, is PURPOSE. Birds and humans have the same super-complex and super-flexible coupling between the planning and intention centers in the cerebrum and the sequencing and reflex centers in the cerebellum. The coupling happens in a different area, but it's a similar FUNCTIONAL circuit. Birds and primates have the same PURPOSE, so they have the same circuit.
Variable: Clearly Sorosians have an entirely different PURPOSE from humans and parrots, despite the accidental STRUCTURAL similarity to humans.
Using the diagram in the article, I've added on the Sorosian circuitry for comparison.
