What, in English, we call a “special biological program,” is abbreviated to “SBS” because of the original German terminology: “Sinnvolle Biologische Sonderprogramme” (literally: “meaningful biological special programs”).

A special biological program or SBS begins at the moment of a DHS (which happens in the psyche).

In the instant of the DHS, the psyche establishes a biological conflict (a “no” experience bound to a desired “yes” experience), and the brain and nervous system mobilize a coordinated strategy to help the organism not feel the immediate existential threat of the DHS.

That mobilization includes:

• changes in nervous-system activity (an exaggerated daytime “lasting day” state during conflict activity),

• changes in attention and thinking (fixation on conflict content and intensified hunting-and-gathering style impulses), and

• changes in tissue and/or function in the body (the organ-level expression of the program).

An SBS is not a malfunction, disease, or mistake. It is an organized, purposeful sequence: it begins with psyche-level biological conflict formation, runs through conflict activity with the intention of both avoiding the intolerable DHS and resolving the biological conflict, and—if the conflict resolves—moves into a healing phase that restores and consolidates the organism’s biological adaptation.

The entire SBS is best understood as one unified information-processing operation across psyche, brain, and organ, with the psyche as the origin point and driver of the program.

Every so-called “disease” symptom (psychological or physical) that is not a result of a biological program (such as injury, poisoning, or malnutrition), is part of a special biological program.
