When I got involved with bluegreen algae as a superfood, I attended many seminars conducted by microalgae scientists. We were taught that bluegreen algae is the most primitive of lifeforms, with characteristics of plant, animal, and bacteria kingdoms.
One of the most interesting bits of information I learned, was that bacteria communicate with one another.
I no longer have the documentation on this, but some years back, scientists were surprised to learn that bacteria in one part of the world would communicate with the bacteria in another part of the world.
For example, bacteria in a test tube in a lab in Japan would suddenly become immune to an antibiotic, after being vulnerable to that antibiotic for decades. Suddenly, the very same day, bacteria in a test tube all the way across the world, in the US, would also become immune.
This is different from the global resistance bacteria develop, from many years of many people taking antibiotics, with the surviving bacteria becoming resistant gradually. This was sudden, happening simultaneously in different batches, with zero contact with one another.
This led the scientists to speculate that, collectively, bacteria had a group consciousness, an intelligence. One researcher actually said that he believed all bacteria formed one giant organism, just spread out all across the planet, inside all other organisms.
Very, very interesting idea! This sounds somehow familiar to me.
There are more bacteria in our bodies than cells. In the words of my microalgae scientist-teacher: We are 'walking ecosystems.'

and then, this process repeats itself, with these new 'individuals' from 3 to 4d, and another new 'collective' is formed at early 4d society complex, which then increasingly harmonizes, and becomes uniform through harmonization, and then happens to become a totality at the end of 7d, and then gets harvested as an 'individual', to start an even greater sequence of combining and harmonizing ?
this, would also explain a lot of concepts, and solve a lot of paradoxes and clear some problems :
the basic blueprint for everything repeats itself everywhere from a subatomic particle to the universe. and through that, it is possible to see the universe as a single being.
there is infinite multipleness on one side, and there is a singularity on the other side. (since continually generating and combining would mean that combining would end at a certain final point at everything combines).
every single 'entity' looks as a single entity, but, they are actually comprised of infinite numbers of entities combined together and became uniformized throughout aeons. every singular looking entity we see, is, a collective.
