Abstract
Key hypothesis: •ncRNA is the digital basis for advanced memory and intelligence.This seeds further hypotheses which together offer a plausible bio-mechanistic model based on Piaget’s abstractions. These included: •Optical intercommunication (hence •getting myelinated fibres to double-task as coaxial cable — since demonstrated by others). •Mechanistic bases for Piaget’s ‘stages.’ •The physical ‘schéma’ nature of a concept. •a virus-sized ‘capsid’ can contain many schémas, &/or •Many linked optically to distant sites, aided by digital addresses. — Optical messages, so •partially cable-free (‘radiolike’), and having •some choice of route (like the internet); meanwhile •synaptic Hebbian route-improvement maintains efficiency. — •Essential RNA action-codes are transcribed directly from DNA. •Other codes are constructed by rapid-Darwinian trial-and-error from “junk” inherited RNA fragments, sometimes with •intelligence-guidance from a higher Piagetian meta-level. — •New explanation for ‘gut intelligence’ sees exotic junk-RNA (carried by axon-transport) offering greater Darwinian-diversity in the hippocampus. •New concepts/RNA-structures are carried physically-whole from hippocampus to cortex (impossible with any synapse-memory model). — There is actually a solid forensic detective-work origin for these postulates (based on published findings in various disciplines). At this stage however, it seems best to treat them provisionally as mere guesses, and challenge them experimentally where possible.
