the subject matter of educability is information processing

What exactly is the nature of this Civilization Enabler? Its fruits are easy enough to see: culture, the arts, knowledge, science. Here I am interested in going further. I want to understand the human capability that gives rise to these fruits. The notion of educability as I define it did not arise from and cannot be defined in terms of physics, chemistry, biology, or the social sciences. Nor can it be justified by the methodologies used in these sciences. This is hardly surprising since its subject matter is information processing, which is not the focus of these sciences.
