The Scientific Method

I had this idea a few years ago, when I was manic and sliding into a psychotic episode, I planned to write it up whilst in hospital, it was going to be an entire book. The basic premise is that three things are needed in a scientific theory, Composition, Environment and Behavior, if any two are known then the third can be deduced. Composition is the internal construct, the layout of the insides of the object. The environment is the external construct, so what is around the object. And then the behavior is the action taken by the object, the movement if you like.

Experiments done in science are often to discover the behavior of a noted object, and when repeated the same behavior happens, the behavior is measured and a mathematical theory can be applied. One of Albert Einstein's famous quotes is that 'madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result'. But once the behavior and the mathematical theory is known then composition or environment can be deduced. This theory states that every behavior is the direct result of the internal and external relations, therefore the with the knowledge of any two the third can be deduced.

Maybe this only works with simple and well conditioned experiments. Of course life is able to change its own composition and does with every form of life, all life is growing and aging. But I do believe this growth is in direct relation to the environment and the behavior. The composition of a human brain is currently too complex to form a complete theory on how that composition generates behavior. For humans there seems to be a paradox, does the composition cause behavior or does behavior drive the composition? In choosing a certain action or behavior does this effect the brain composition or was the composition of the brain the reason for the choice? Confusing and we have not even added the effects of the external environment. To be continued!
