Chaos > Order > Mammals 8-cell Pathway

So 8 corners of the cube, 8 triangular openings of the Octahedron, ergo the 8 triangular openings of the Vector Equlliibrium/cubo-octahedron.

.."The data showed that the first divisions after fertilization were not regulated across mice, rabbits, and monkeys. The cells divided randomly until they reached the 8-cell stage, a stage where all embryos suddenly started to look the same. "After looking very different in the first stages, embryos seemed to converge toward each other's shape at the end of the 8-cell stage," Hannezo continues. But how come? What brings structure to this chaos?

An embryonal Rubik's cube -- cell cluster optimizes its packing

Corominas-Murtra and Hannezo, both theoretical physicists, were fascinated by this dataset and set out to understand this process from a theoretical standpoint.

However, an embryo's shape is highly complex, making it difficult to determine what it means for two embryos to be similar or different. The scientists discovered that they could effectively approximate the full complexity of the structure of an embryo simply by studying the configurations of the cell-to-cell contacts. "We think that we can derive most of the important details about the morphology of an embryo by understanding the arrangements of cells or knowing which cells are physically connected -- similar to connections in a social network."...

At one, two, three, four, five, six and seven, the cells are more dis-similar, and eight become similar. H,mm?

Does this likened back to 6 degrees of freedom that connect all humans thing with Kevin Bacon being the focal point for movie goers?

Look at the big picture, with a comprehensive view of life we perceive laws that are non-random laws. Population genetics predicts stasis. The fossil record shows static forms interrupted by extinction and it makes it clear that small changes don’t accumulate.  Darwin’s unifying theory of biology is a theory of stability, it tells us nothing about the generation of form.  When we look at these forms we see basic shapes, patterns and possibilities repeating themselves again and again in a phenomenon called “parallel evolution”.  We find “Homologous organs” which are similar structures spanning different classes of organisms.  Similarities of structure that evolved independently in unrelated classes of life and that cannot be explained by mere coincidence.

We find marsupials evolving in Australia, which were completely isolated from the placental animals evolving elsewhere, and it is unsettling that they are so similar, in fact, they are simply too similar, it's almost creepy.   When the continental plates drifted apart sometime during the Cretaceous period a small mammal resembling a shrew became completely isolated in Australia from the rest of its population.  Millions of years later this mammal had evolved into wolves, squirrels, cats, mice, anteaters, ground hogs, and moles both in Australia and elsewhere.  A common ancestor adapting to similar conditions in order to occupy comparable habitats can’t explain the profound similarities, not with only a mechanism of chance mutation at work, that just isn't enough. 

When we take an honest look, there appear to be underlying patterns and forms in nature, predetermined genetic pathways.  Rather than primary instruction sets, genes are revealed to be modifying influences selecting from a limited number of possible solutions intrinsic in life forms.  Life shows itself to be based on self-organizing principles that adhere to underlying patterns of form.  It is not just the same gene complex creating wolves in both Australia and elsewhere after millions of years but also different genes producing homologous organs as they follow underlying laws of form. Arms, legs, wings, and flippers have evolved in completely dissimilar creatures for entirely different purposes, yet they have developed profoundly similar designs.  Science has obviously ignored some basic principle underlying the whole process.
