Abstract

Relationships are an essential part of animal life, a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing ethology, culture, society, history, mind psychology (memoanalysis), and psychoanalysis. But these and other phenomena are merely the software made possible by the basic machinery of nervous system, trivially summarized by the term "brain." To explore the intricate world of relationship life we must necessarily begin with nervous system and its way of being and organizing, moving forward a few familiar concepts: element, neuron, the masses it forms, the structures it composes, all in evolution light, which guides us to distinguish progressive levels of the gap between the lowest animals and humans. Let us therefore begin with (paragraph 1) neuron as a functional unit that has increased enormously forming masses, from ganglia to organs, studied by (2) neuroanatomy and born from (3) neurogenesis. These are facts that have been studied for centuries, but if we want to understand the functioning, more than obvious anatomy the way in which the neurons connect to each other in structures of cells and axons that rise from simple reflex arcs to cerebral cortex is important. And it is useful to examine the (4) principles of evolution followed by neuromass in its progress, therefore (5) sensory and motor levels acquired with increasing (6) levels of neurostructures. It is a necessary treatment of the hardware in order to later explain the Mind and Psyche software that circulates within it, and everything will find its exhaustive synthesis in the Enchanted Staircase model .

Description
Let's examine the question of the origin of mind with these passages and manuscripts: Part One: Epigenesis of Neurons in Organs and Neurostructures Brain is the machine that supports the software we are interested in. We examine neurons as functional units that group into organs and their composition in progressive neurostructures on a scale of levels. Part Two: Framework of Memoanalysis and Psychoanalysis Summary of Jean Piaget's studies on the development of mental functions into childhood, psyche nature and the Ego formation following Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. Part Three: The Enchanted Staircase of the Mind from Animals to Humans Synthesis of all mind parameters in animals and humans, describing neurostructures in anatomy and zoology, ethology, archetypes, mental universes, with integrating the models of memoanalysis and psychoanalysis. The progressive stages are recognized: stimulus, archetype, learned ideas, knowledge, thought, rationality, imagination. All will converge in the Enchanted Staircase model.
