it is conceivable that a dog tugging at his leash at one time and compressing his teeth into a bone at another time should formulate consciously the generalized "only coexistence of tension and compression" and coexistence of the concavity and convexity of his teeth though the dog is spontaneously and subconsciously deft in tension-compression tactical moves... the difference between animal brains and the human mind lies specifically in man's unique ability to generalize to progressively compounding degrees of abstraction... that is man's unique function in universe - antientropy... the physical universe is entropic; that is, energies escape from local systems and the "fallout" is described as the Law of Increase of the Random Element, and that increase of diffuse energies brings about the expanding physical universe; in superb balance with which the human mind continually probes for and discovers the order in universe and continually contracts the descriptions of the separate orderly behaviors discovered in nature and combines the generalized observations in progressively comprehensive generalizations whereby the metaphysical universe cofunctions equally with the physical universe as its contracting-universe and increasing orderliness counterpart... man is the great antientropy of universe... the famous "Second Law" of Thermodynamics propounds entropy... but the human mind discovered and described and harnessed in orderly fashion this disorderly propensity of nature... Einstein's mind discovered and generalized the comprehensive law of physical energy universe as E=Mc² and the process of metaphysical mastery of the physical is irreversible... it is unthinkable and nonexperienced that energy can and does pronounce what intellect is...
what we speak of as human morality is a form of intuitive and tentative generalization of experiences not as yet worked out in mathematical degree of incisiveness... man has also the unique ability to objectively employ generalized principles - once recognized - in a consciously selective variety of special-case interrelationships... he is thus able to alter the inanimate environment and thereby to alter the "specialized-case" patterning of human experiences and thereby to provide more opportunity to verify or discard previous generalizations and to formulate new ones...
