DNA sequences guide the functioning of the living world, speech and writing sequences choreograph the intricacies of human culture, and code sequences oversee the operation of our literate technological civilization. These linear patterns operate under their own rules, which have never been fully explored. It is time for them to receive their due attention. This book explores the one-dimensional sequences that orchestrate the structure and behavior of our three-dimensional habitat. Drawing on Gibsonian concepts of perception, action, and affordances, as well as the works of Howard Pattee, the book examines the role of sequences in the human behavioral and cultural world of speech, writing, and mathematics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a Darwinian framework for understanding human cultural evolution and identifies the two major informational transitions in the origins of life and civilization. It will be of interest to students and researchers in ecological psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, and the social and biological sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 414g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 x 228 x 25 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367703295                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dennis P.
