The Operating System and Software

The Operating System and Software

Does the human body have an operating system and does it run software? The human body is formed of individual cells that act as individual processing units or processors. Each of these cells in turn is made up of a membrane that separates two different charges one on the inside and one on the outside, which essentially acts as a battery.

Placed over the cell membrane and penetrating through it, are proteins which in turn are semiconductors. Similarly, inside the cytoplasm, the cell membrane encloses many other proteins which are also wideband semiconductors with the ability to process information. Moreover, the cytoplasm contains mitochondria which themselves are processors of bacterial origin, in turn consisting of many proteins which are also, by the way, semiconductors. The electron transport chain which is active inside the mitochondria of the cells, also produces electrical currents and, on top of it, light as bio photons. 

The processing capacity of the whole organism is tremendous and is not limited to just the brain. The operating system of the body originates as contributions from each individual cell. The complexity of the part of the software contributed by an individual is not humongous. But when it comes to the billions and trillions of cells the contribution in toto becomes organized as the software of that particular organism. 

Individual software applications overlies the operating system and adds circumstantial, environmental or societal functions to the operating system. The software fulfills individual purposes and a good example of the software is psychology another example is the sense of etiquette,  ethics, and consciousness. The fact that a psychologist can treat condiditons by just talking to us is the best eample of the power of the software and its interactions with the rest of the layers.
