Much effort has gone into elucidating control of the body by the brain, less so the role of the body in controlling the brain. This essay develops the idea that the brain does a great deal of work in the service of behavior that is controlled by the body, a blue-collar role compared to the white-collar control exercised by the body. The argument that supports a blue-collar role for the brain is also consistent with recent discoveries clarifying the white-collar role of synergies across the body's tensegrity structure, and the evidence of critical phenomena in brain and behavior.
人们在阐释大脑对身体的控制方面投入了大量精力，而对于身体在控制大脑方面的作用则关注较少。本文提出这样一种观点：大脑在为身体控制的行为服务方面做了大量工作，与身体所行使的白领式控制相比，这是一种蓝领式的角色。支持大脑具有蓝领式角色的观点也与最近的一些发现相一致，这些发现阐明了身体张拉整体结构中协同作用的白领式角色，以及大脑和行为中临界现象的证据。
