The nervous system comes into play as a critical aspect of the human body's functionality and communication. It serves as the foundation for both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system, which includes the autonomic nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for processing and transmitting information throughout the body, enabling our brain and body to function and interact with the environment. In relation to the previous context, the nervous system plays a critical role in the development of the biocomputer as it facilitates various functions such as learning, memory, and adaptation. The cerebral cortex, a part of the nervous system, serves as a high-level computer controlling the lower levels of the nervous system and the built-in programs. As the cerebral cortex expands over time, it allows for learning and adaptation to rapidly changing environments, and eventually reaches a critical size where metaprogramming and advanced cognitive functions can emerge. This allows for the invention and use of language, mathematics, art, and other complex operations within the human biocomputer. So, the nervous system is an essential factor in the overall comprehension and functioning of the human biocomputer.
