Command System

Command System

The command system is composed of the brain and is used for thinking and giving orders to body functions. The actual functions of each organ are not controlled directly by the brain. The command system utilizes the nervous system to rally the information regarding each organ back to the brain. The brain responses to these information and these responses are then rallied back to the organs. This process occurs rapidly and thus our body is able to react to external stimulation almost instantly.

Most primitive living creatures do not possess a brain. These creatures do not have the ability to flee nor attack, and they can only move mindlessly. Yet most of these creatures possess the same organ functions as human’s 5 Zan and 6 Fu. They can breath, absorb nutrients, and dispose waste material. Thus, we can suspect that during evolution, the brain was created in order for creatures to adapt to their fast-changing environment.

If we compare the human body to a modern computer network, the brain can be compared to the master terminal, and the organs can be compared to separate servers. Each server is responsible for each organ’s functions and health while it is controlled by the master terminal. Such a complex network must require a operation system in order to function. In the case of the human body, it may very well be something that we can not yet prove using our current technology – the spirit.
