The phenomenon of decussation constitutes a portion of an
elegant solution to the the infinitely-large problem of
activating the effectors so that the body will move away
from environmental sources of noxious stimulation.
When one studies the neural architecture of decussation, one
finds that it enables the nervous system to activate the
effectors "appropriately" by simply minimizing the
topologically-distributed ratios of excitation to inhibition
that are occuring within the nervous system.
That is, the neural architecture receives pain-stimulation
"mountains", inverts them into neural-activation "valleys",
and sends this "valley" activation back to the effectors,
where the "valley" activation is "just the ticket" to the
body's "moving away from" the environmental source of
noxious stimulation.
This all works because everything within the CNS is
rigorously mapped with respect to the body-environment
interface. And it all reduces directly to what's described
by the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (WDB2T). ken collins
