The proposed merger of these two disciplines into Somatic Memetics opens both disciplines up to exploring the boundaries of consciousness from the local and nonlocal angle. By removing the academic and other artificial boundaries that keep the spread of ideas and the neurobiology of human development on different bookshelves, we can speak plainly about how an individual, a community or a culture creates and then internalizes a worldview and attempts to share it. In this way, we can transcend the limitations of 3rd person scientific and academic models and embrace an ideological terrain that exists, as author Mark Johnson (4) has explained well, within a preconceptualized physical imagination: a body in the mind.

"The view I am proposing is this: in order for us to have meaningful, connected experiences that we can comprehend and reason about, there must be pattern and order to our actions, perceptions, and conceptions. A schema is a recurrent pattern, shape, and regularity in, or of, these ongoing ordering activities. These patterns emerge as meaningful structures for us chiefly at the level of our bodily movements though space, our manipulation of objects. and our perceptual interactions.”(5)
