Many thanks for this. I am away, but would welcome a chance to discuss at some point. My current book spends a fair amount of time exploring how many systems overlook the Mind/zoosphere, and, of course, virtually EVERYONE overlooks the problem of psychology. Of course, the two are connected, because you need the Mind dimension in Big History to generate the proper ontological relation between behavior and mental processes.

In our latest SESsion, I gave a presentation that compared Wilber’s tripartite conception of big history (which includes the physiosphere, biosphere, and noosphere) with Gregg’s TOK and the related periodic table of behavior, in which 4 planes of existence are recognized. I argue that we should recognize the difference between the biosphere and the zoosphere. Wilber conflates these (on this he borrowed from the earlier work of Teilard de Chardin).
