At first sight it seems to me a bad model starting from good stuff. A better model would take algorithmic complexity into account, and living beings as algorithms that utilize universal induction to predict sequences in the environment (using solomonoff theory of universal induction). Fitness would be the best predictors which at the same time mutate to produce the mimimun algorithmic complexity. the fitness would be a mix of highest prediction/lowest complexity.
That would be more realistic since living beings are inductors: they execute algoritms that take inputs from the environment to predict the next move of the environment in order to take advantage of it 2014-03-21 19:18 GMT+01:00 <[email protected]>: > > Are you still interested in talking about metabiology? > > http://www.axiompanbiog.com/Pages/Metabiology.aspx > > On Wednesday, November 24, 2010 2:10:42 PM UTC-5, thermo wrote: >> >> Chaitin is currently drafting some attemps on metabiology and biological >> evolution of creativity.
