Evolution by BITs and Pieces: An Introduction to Fractal Evolution The membrane boundary enveloping each biological cell comprises the structural basis of a biological processor system (see article: Cellular Consciousness). As a processor, the cell’s membrane receptors scan the environment for signals. Obviously the environment is awash in signals. If all the signals were audible, the environment would sound like blaring noise. However, the specificity of reception that is characteristic for each receptor IMP, enables
