This paper highlights the coupling of copying and coding as central to the promulgation of life, leading to the concept of code-poiesis as the self-generating propulsion behind macro-evolutionary shifts. My goal is to better integrate body with mind and, following Freud, to find the archaic origins of human cognition through the universal unconscious phenomenon of the 'dream.' Uncovering this continuity is buttressed by the deep parallels Barbieri finds between the origins of life and the origins of mind. His three macroevolutionary transitions -from organic to neural to cultural - are examined identifying the reiteration of copy-and-code at each shift while contributing a singular psychoanalytic piece at the neural level via Freudian dream theory through which the leap from brain to mind is explained. Finally, a fourth evolutionary stage already in progress is discussed: the externalization of mind in the computational age of the algorithm.

本文强调了复制和编码在生命传播中的耦合作用，并提出了代码生成（code-poiesis）作为宏观进化转变背后的自我生成推动力的概念。我的目标是更好地将身体与心灵结合起来，继弗洛伊德之后，通过普遍无意识现象“梦”来寻找人类认知的原始起源。揭示这种连续性得到了巴尔比亚发现的生命和心智起源之间深刻的平行性的支持。他提出的三大宏观进化过渡——从有机到神经再到文化的转变——被仔细审视，识别出每次转变中复制和编码的重复，并通过弗洛伊德的梦境理论在神经层面贡献了一个独特的心理分析部分，从而解释了大脑向心灵的飞跃。最后，讨论了正在进行中的第四阶段进化：在算法计算时代的心智外化。
