"Epigenetics is a new model of gene expression. "Epi" means above, so the literal translation of epigenetic control reads, “controlled above the genes.”

In response to Genetics, Epigenetics, and Destiny by Dr. Bruce Lipman:
The only thing questionable (other than expanding the 2-way transduction concept of the brain and applying this to DNA and every other systemic component and morphological field [Sheldrake] effect) is in response to this:
"When a chemical is used as a signal, 98% or more of the chemical’s available energy is wasted as heat of reaction." - Lipman
Compare this to:
"However, if I expose them to a chemical signal, it will take longer for the chemical to reach and bind to the cells, creating a lag phase between the stimulus and the response." - Lipman
I do not accept that this energy is "wasted". Obviously it is better, typically, to have a heartbeat that is less rather than more of a knee-jerk reaction. However, to have conscious evaluation (choice) we clearly need a gap between stimulus and response (not an instant knee\jerk binary switching mechanism).
Furthermore, the signalling "energy" carries information alongside motivational fuel and contributes advisory data during our selection of options in a given circumstance. Event-specific encoded energy. This intelligent energy also contributes local motive power within our decision making field.
On both these counts, to imply that chemical signalling (compared to "electromagnetic 'vibrational' energy") is inefficient because it is "wasted as heat of reaction" hardly scratches the surface of a fuller exposition of this important new science paradigm of epigenetics.

But, what has that to do with ku?
When we ku we regard an object-event in a contemplative empathy. Typically in a real world natural setting (of course, this can mean many things to different paradigms*).
Simply stated, because ku are not intellectual constructs (secondary thought processes) in the first instance we are obliged to 'empty our selves' and allow the experience to inform us.
How does that occur?
Prior to logical thought we have primary thought [Freud].
Primary thought is unconscious and communicates in dreams [Hillman].
In our intended emptiness between stimulus and response (ma-space) a dream unfolds as a result of our ku musing. It is this dream, once it has resolved itself (as a compromise between subject and object -- seer and seen), which is where secondary thought's logic comes into play.
We edit and transcribe into brief text.
We encode the dream and, importantly, the message it contains.
This experience is then stored in our ku-text, which is also capable of acting as delivery system.
Thus may a non-verbal experience be transmitted to anyone who has the encoded text and it capable of reading (emphatically decoding) it into an inner virtual sensate experience (Noh theatre in ma). Potentially, exactly the same dream which was dreamed in the original encounter.

That is the ideal of organic hokku.
The westernised modernist haiku [Shiki] , in global practice, evidences an intellectual (and thus synthetic) approach to the apprehension and transcription of insight insofar as secondary processes of cognition are conditioned (Pavlov) by scientific realism's ubiquitous Zeitgeist of theoreticals in participating minds.

* By different paradigms we mean the basic options (depending on sophistication) between a biological conception of reality (sensate nature), or a metaphysical scale whereby many levels of reality are regarded as nature [state specific - Charles Tart]. (The materialist/mystic dichotomy.) Scales of reality from dense to subtle are coefficient with levels of conscious awareness which may apprehend these gradations in the gnosis that they are real. This is one of the reasons (sic) for a sharp contrast between westernised global haiku (materialist based) and the original hokku (sublimated by pre-western Nippon traditional mystic perceptions stemming from extremely ancient precedent).
