This post is mostly a comment on the analogy I made. Now I already
wrote a book
on the Unification of the Forces of Physics where they all become a
Coulomb force.
And the force of gravity is the world's weakest force and because
gravity has the identical
math form as Coulomb-- inverse square, that gravity is the weakest
Coulomb force.

So I made the analogy in previous posts that the Brain stem is like
the force of gravity
in physics where the brain-stem operates the functions of heart beat
and breathing run
on auto-pilot. So the lowest form of maintenance of matter and atoms
in the Cosmos is
to run those nonliving materials on gravity. But if you have living
matter, then gravity is
not strong enough to run materials that are alive and you need the
Coulomb force with
photons and neutrinos.

Now I am puzzled as to whether physiology has a term for every part of
the brain which
is not the Brain-stem itself. Whether the Brain equals Brain-stem plus
Cerebral Cortex.

Seems to me as though a slip of logic permeates the physiology of the
Brain if one does
not have a term for Brain subract Brain-stem equals what? Is this
"what" the Cerebral
Cortex or does physiology have no term for Brain subtract Brain-stem?

Can I assume the Cerebral Cortex equals Brain subract Brain-Stem? If I
can assume that
then the pretty analogy I make is this:

Brain stem is to Cerebral Cortex what the force of gravity is to
Coulomb force

Brain stem is necessary functions run on auto pilot and requires the
least amount of energy,
much like gravity is the least amount of energy to keep nonliving
matter in motion.
And where the Cerebral Cortex runs free to think and requires alot of
energy, so also
is the Coulomb force.

I want to comment also that when we view the force of gravity relative
to Coulomb as the
analogy brain-stem/cerebral cortex we get a better sense of how those
two forces relate
to one another and we become more sensible in our ruminations of a
Unification of forces
of physics. That gravity is simply a weakened Coulomb force and
belongs as a tiny subset
of the Coulomb force.

There should be a newsgroup of sci.physiology of which I have been
asking for way back in
the 1990s, and the question is, does the term Cerebral Cortex union
Brain-stem equal
to the entire Brain. I would hate to have to write out this term
"everything that is the brain
except the Brain Stem" everytime I talk about it.
