"second nature" literary means epi-phenomena (nature being a primary 
phenomena), as I explained in my response to Frank    (03)

My explanation of epigenetic (in-born)"knowledge" is migration of emergent 
epi-phenomena of learning, language and such - from meta-physical semantic 
dimension into physical syntactic dimension of genes.    (05)

No qualitative difference (Sorry:-). Our meta-physical space (mapped to 
physical structure of brain) is simply much larger and allows the migration 
that I mentioned above accelerate and lead to massive emerging epi-phenomena 
that we call "civilization".    (07)

The "special" role of visualization and other senses is that they form 
syntactic dimension and provide a "bandwidth" allowing accelerate emergent 
processes of semantic formation and migration I described above. Naturally 
migrated (permanent) connections retain their original semantic significance 
for new emergent epi-phenomena. That is the nature of perception.      (09)

This cam be explained by chaotic nature of emergent "mind" epi-phenomena. This  
is where order is emerging at "the edge of chaos" borrowing phrase from ... 
(please someone remind me)    (011)
