The '''Human Biocomputer''' 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]], [[Reproductive]], [[Respiratory]], [[Skeletal]], and [[Urinary]] systems. The biocomputer has stored program properties, and self-metaprogramming properties, with limits determinable and to be determined(1)<ref>Potter, page 41</ref>.

== General Clarification ==

The levels of the human biocomputer are explained thus:

Levels fom one to two are the boundaries between external reality and the body. Certain energies and materials (heat, light, sound, food, and secretions) pass through this boundary in special places. Levels two to three are the boudaries of body and brain, in which special structures such as blood vessels, nerve fibers, and cerebrospinal fluid pass. Levels four through eleven are in the brain circuitry, and is the software inside the biocomputer. Levels after ten are termed unkown. This is to allow an openeness for future scientific research, and discoveries. This is also to illustrate the unwillingness to subscribe to any dogmatic belief, to encourage creative, courageous and imaginative investigation, to emphasize the necissity for unknown factors on all levels, and to point out the [[heuristic]] nature of this schema(3)<ref>Potter, pages 68-69</ref>.

== Definitions ==

=== Mind ===

[[Mind]], which is defined as the sum total of all the Programs and Metaprograms (and even supraself metaprogramms) of a human biocomputer(4)<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(5)<ref>Potter, page 43</ref>.

=== Stored Programs ===

A stored program is defined as a set of instructions which are placed in memory storage of the biocomputer, and which control the biocomputer when orders are given for that program to be activated(6)<ref>Potter, page 32</ref>. These programs can be activated by the same biocomputer, another biocomputer, or a situation outside of the biocomputer.

== Meta Definitions ==

=== Metaprogram ===

Is defined as a set of instructions, descriptions, and means of control of sets of programs(<ref name="potter">Potter page 180)</ref>.

=== Supra Self Metaprograms ===

=== Self Metaprogrammer ===

=== Self Metaprogram ===

Is defiend as the creation of new , revisioning of old, and reorganizing programs and metaprograms<ref name="potter"/>. (page 180)
