Hi. I put this essay in for publication in Origins. It was turned down, so I'm putting it out and about here. I would appreciate any feedback. The Narrative of Priunits is a narrative which puts classical evolution in the context of a broader cosmic narrative beginning with The Big Bang. It also points to a religious imperative in the cosmos which perhaps has entered a new phase in the context of human consciousness.

I am printing a preamble here. If you want to read the essay just follow the link below. I hope you enjoy. I look forward to hearing from you. Jack.

Preamble.

The main points of The Narrative of Priunits are as follows.

• The pursuit of the narrative anchors itself in one essential question: Given that we the humans are consequences of cosmic process, is there a presiding narrative that began with the big bang and ended most recently with the emergence of us?
• If such a narrative exists, has it come to a conclusion in us, or any aspect of our extended experience?
• If it has not come to a conclusion in us, or any aspect of our experience, how will it continue to process through and beyond us?
• Are we obliged in any way to serve the continuation of the narrative that might have given rise to us and if so, by what tools, etc., do we best serve that progress: Science? Religion? Politics? Law/Morality? Philosophy? Creativity?
• In this is implied a specific challenge to the concept of empiricism. If we decide that we are consequences of an ongoing cosmic narrative and that we are under obligation to the continuation of that narrative in some way, why do we conclude that we serve it best by realizing it as a set of empirical facts? (Narrative or not, why do we come to that conclusion?)
• The word “priunit” is a collective term, which pertains to all the entities which stock the narrative which began with hydrogen and ended most recently with us, the humans. So atoms are priunits, as are molecules and living things.  We can learn much about the narrative by examining priunits. Pre-atomic things could also be considered to be priunits,  but I am not exploring them as part of the narrative at this point.
• In this context the genetic/evolutionary (classical evolutionary) is seen as a stage in a broader narrative, the sub-phases of which to date are as follows: The pre-atomic, the atomic, the molecular, the genetic /evolutionary (single celled/ multi-celled) and the neo-evolutionary.
• In using the term “neo-evolutionary” I am suggesting that what we encounter in the human domain constitutes a phase beyond the classical evolutionary which pertained up to our emergence in the narrative and still does to our other living kin in the wild. This is not to suggest that the genetic does not pertain to us (which would be absurd) but that we encounter much in the human realm which seems to suggest that we choose to operate beyond the dictates of our own genes (and the dynamics of the classical evolutionary accordingly) to some extent.
• The narrative of priunits is the fundamental narrative of the cosmos.
