layered self-concepts

The cells of animals and plants in practice each maintain their own microbe, tissue & organism selves just as each of us maintain our own organism, family & culture selves.

One difference, of course, is that we each have unique organism, family & culture self-concepts that we can talk about to help us buffer correlations which look inward and outward from the boundaries of our self, our family & our culture.

What fraction of your time are you able to spend looking inward & outward from each?
