The cerebellar transform is the core.
The cerebellar transform is the core. It appears to be a structural requirement in the physics of living things that there exists not only an outside and inside but a generative core in which is located the identity of the organism. The addition of the generative core to our model of life makes perfect sense given the entire vertebrate phylum, the nucleus of the cell, as well as the ubiquitous presence of such a pattern at all scales in nature.

The cerebellar transform is the core.
No. Don’t Google it. Interact with another human being.
Ask them a question. Find out who you need to ask to get the question answered. You will be making a relationship and building power instead of surrendering it.
There is the outside of the surface where wonderful big things happen. There is the inside of the surface which is juicy and rich and sensual. Finally there is a deep core, more still and quiet than the others but powerful, primal, sacred, and erotic— all those things at once.
Can you see me dwelling in all these places?
In 1976, Stephen King published a short story, “I Know What You Need,” about the courting of a young woman. Her suitor was a young man who could read her mind but did not tell her so. He simply appeared with what she wanted at the moment, beginning with strawberry ice cream for a study break.
Step by step he changed her life, making her dependent upon him by giving her what she thought she wanted at a certain moment, before she herself had a chance to reflect. Her best friend realized that something disconcerting was happening, investigated, and learned the truth: “That is not love,” she warned. “That’s rape.”
The internet is a bit like this. It knows much about us, but interacts with us without revealing that this is so. It makes us unfree by arousing our worst tribal impulses and placing them at the service of unseen others.
Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom
This is something we need to be considering. Perceptual politics are important, and without a clear claim to our own generative core it can be usurped.
The tripartite synapse and the tonic neural tripod of mental balance.
What we had always thought about the synapse, since Sherrington gave it its name, meaning “to grasp together” (syn-apse) Is that neurons communicated between each other in pairs. They were binary. Each neuron has thousands of synapses, facilitating pattern recognition and tolerant of noise in the system, but they are not alone in their unity. The biggest…

Where do you know the meaning of these words?: Self attention, the cerebellar transform, and the sensitive bony landmarks of the proprioceptive core. Anatomy is full of homologies, elements in a repeating pattern that is self validating, self evidencing, and generative. It should come as no surprise that a matching revolution follows quickly on the tail of the recent breakthrough in transformer…
The Generative Core
The Generative Core The generative core is a characteristic shared by all living organisms and is a part of the perceptual model of life. While everything including inanimate matter from a rock to a river or a pair of pants and a tuba all have an outside and an inside, only complex living systems possess a generative core. Think of an apple cut in half. There is an outside called the skin and an…
Musclemonk is healing.
Musclemonk teaches embodied enlightenment. Without Eros the deep core is reduced to a mechanism. This is not embodiment. The muscular vital force is located together with the most sensitive systems, in the deep wells or pits in the body map. Of course Eros is there, along with the energy spinal cord and the self identity.
How is it that we consider self identity to be a transform? Our self identity functions like an equation in which one side has a relationship with the other side. In other words there is a formal transform that occurs between the two sides of the equation where one side can both constrain and compel the other side.
The meaning we invest into the equation determines the quality of the transform. If we start from a purely mechanistic perspective we may not get the level of integration we are seeking.
The more richly we understand self identity, not just neurologically but as a muscular system of sensual movements of the deep body, the more resources we find at hand, within ourselves, for dealing with the difficult calculations and predictions we are trying to make about life.
The tonic cerebellar system and the tonic motor system compose the tonic functional system: proprioception
If the cerebellum performs a single basic function across all of its modules, the universal cerebellar transform, then it stands to reason that we should be able to find an indication of this in its motoric substrate. If we observe that the motoric system associated with cerebellar function is the postural or core system, then we find ready consilience in it cybernetic (or mechanical) anatomical…

The purpose of a physics of life
The purpose of a physics of life is the understanding of life, of living systems, and the development of a perceptual and cognitive system able to appreciate such richly integrated information. From what we understand about the role of cerebellum in the creation of internal models we can imagine that such rich somatic concepts would need a corresponding motoric foundation. There is ample…

Active inference as sensory motor experience: the self evident anatomical landmarks.
Active inference as a sensory motor perceptual system is experienced as proprioception, or physical homeostasis, supported by the cerebellum, the massive human hindbrain. The cerebellum is a very powerful computational system with more neurons then the rest of the brain, including those parts that are responsible for our conscious awareness, physical power, and intelligence. The cerebellum is…
