Dimetron

is a two-toothed synapsid with an ear bone in its lower jaw. This bone projects to the place where the
two types of tooth appear. It is possible that this form was the dominant predator of its time. Synapsids
like their mammalian descendents posses an opening in the back of the skull but Dimetron posses a very
unusual sail like projection of vertebrae extending vertically past this opening into the space well above
the body of the creature itself. While numerous explanations for the function of this feature have been
proposed we offer another which links the feeding behavior based on the teeth force possibilities to
the ear via the jaw stabilized by the effect of the sail on damping side to side motions of struggling prey
items.
Once a prey item is secured inside the dentary, the difference in the tooth size make motion into the
throat an easier path than out. The sail provides a lateral momentum inertial force inhibition to any
kind of side to side motion where the prey in attempting to escape, moves the entire head of dimetron.
The sail provides lateral repulsive momemtum towards the moving prey via the head (through the
opening etc) and might be a sense coordinated with the jaw through the ear to inform Dimetron when
to open and close its mouth.
The effect of the sail works best when a prey item attempts to move sequentially in both lateral
directions but because there are two kinds of teeth it is the prey and not the predator that literally
locomotes itself to its own digestion and demise by another. The lower jaw ear bone and sail bone just
need to maintain a particular kinematic circuit by the brain to accomplish this feeding mechanism. It
may be that dinosaurs arose because they were able behaviorally to avoid the initial snap and capture
coming from the Dimetron and other synapsid snouts, which in both fish and amphibians lacking this
cognitive ability failed contributing to some extinction via over predation.
This possible function was inspired by the notion of the ear as a macron as suggested by Ralph Abraham
in On Morphodynamics. Abraham wrote Here the impress of the external morphology on the sense
organ is modeled exactly by the kymatic scheme, as Hans Jenny has observed [103]. The sound waves
activiate, through a mechanical linkage, the cochlear window, and thus the perilymph fluid in the
chohlea. This fluid is thus excited to an attractor in the actual logos of a kymatic model. The
hydrodynamical motion as shownreveals features of Jennys photographs, and the eddies of von
Bekesy, which are analogous to Taylor cells Variation of the amplitude and frequency or property
frequencies, that is Fourier coefficients produces catastrophes of this attractor, or hydrodynamical
motion. He also said, The process of audition is more or less understood, except for the mechanical to
neural transducer, the cochlea. This is a closed vessel of fluid (perilymph) with a mechanical input piston
on one end, and a very complex pressure sensitive organ stretched within the fluid and comprising a
flection sensor (organ of Corti) embedded in a jelly (endolymph) bound by two membranes (Reissner
and basilar). Obviously, this is a natural macroscopeOn the basis of our macroscope results, it would
that the elastic macron which was invisible to von Bekesy- is more likely than the simmering macro he
saw to be the mechanism of hearing. On Morphodynamics
In Dimetron the jaw and the sail function together to operate as a neural transducer appendage that
enables a macron catastrophe control reflex to assist the behavioral feeding strategy of a snap and then
open and close out of phase relative to prey lateralization escape attempts. Fish swam and
labyrinthodonts walked literally to their own deaths. Interestingly, this same function might be
attributed to the pedicellate teeth of those modern amphibian groups that managed to survive
extinction during this time. The amphibians (frogs, salamanders and caecilianas) survived by getting
smaller since they could now eat smaller things more efficiently thanks to a catastrophe of the control
parameters. The origin of mammals and the differentiation of the two different means to externalize
the ear (Monotremes (electroperception macron) and Other Mammals (physical chemical macron)
resulted from a reduction and readaptation of this kinematic appendage and a change in the relation
between the catastrophe and the control.
