fiction or artifice in which, through habit, we come to believe, a sort of incorrigible illusion of living; and it is as this artifice that the self becomes fully part of nature—our nature.” (Deleuze, 12). Rajchman, via Deleuze, implicates consciousness as epiphenomenal and emergent. Adding to this, I’m thinking consciousness includes the appropriation of environmental data interacting with monadlike thought systems—a trait more often viewed as hive-mind in insects. Through emergent ideas and thought synthesis, a transcendental environmentalism is conceivable; the perceptual recognition of unexplained physical conditions for consciousness’s extension in idea-to-hand production, resulting in design, manufacturing, architecture, objects, and eventually cities. Our transcendent environment is extrapolated from nature, cultural traditions, and objects even as it is examined and interpreted by consciousness tying the world of matter and molecular force together. Animate life, inanimate matter, and natural forces are three strands braiding this ephemeral life matrix. The consequence of our spiraling, plaited matrix is life and thought’s union, where Deleuze’s “incorrigible illusion” comes into being, “incorrigible illusion” implying that we don’t know our place in nature, we don’t understand ideas as an evolutionary forces, and we don’t know how to describe complex molecular fields and their behavior where design is concerned. And, having only just begun to map and decode genes, we don’t very well know boundaries between culture and genetics. For example, recent biological experiments document genes responding to, and evolving in, diverse geographic localities and doing so much faster that previously thought. Research conducted at the University of Maryland, the University of Chicago, and Cornell University supports theories that culture is an evolutionary force. The article notes: “‘If we ask what are the most important evolutionary events of the last 5,000 years, they are cultural, like the spread of agriculture, or extinctions of populations through war or disease,’ said Marcus Feldman, a population geneticist at Stanford. These cultural events are likely to have left deep marks in the human genome.”4

As Edward O. Wilson wrote: “What is human nature? It is not the genes, which prescribe it, or culture, its ultimate product. Rather, human nature is something else for which we have only begun to find ready expression. It is the epigenetic rules, the hereditary regularities of mental development that bias cultural evolution in one direction as opposed to another, and thus connect the genes to culture.” Wilson earlier noted:
