The term '''Humanhuman Biocomputerbiocomputer''', coined by [[John C. Lilly]], refers literally to the "hardware" of the [[human anatomy]]. This would include the [[brain]], [[internal organs]], and other human organ systems such as [[cardiovascular]], [[digestive]], [[endocrine]], [[immune]], [[Integumentary system|integumentary]], [[lymphatic]], [[muscular]], [[Nervous system|nervous]], [[reproductive]], [[respiratory]], [[skeletal]], and [[urinary]] systems. The biocomputer has stored program properties, and self-metaprogramming properties, with limits determinable and to be determined.<ref>Potter, page 41</ref>

== Definitions ==

=== Mind ===

[[Mind]], which is defined as the sum total of all the Programsprograms and Metaprogramsmetaprograms (and even supraself metaprograms) of a human biocomputer.<ref>Potter, page 42</ref> This is the software and is looked at as the opposite of the hardware.

=== The Brain ===

The brain is defined as the visible, palpable living set of structures to be included in the human biocomputer.<ref>Potter, page 43</ref>
