Dear John, Thank you very much for this - a great way to start the new year! I'd like to ask about "communication" - it's a word which is understood in many different ways, and in the context of cells, is hard to imagine. When you suggest that “the unicellular state delegates its progeny to inte

Torday's work generally boils down to a concern for PREADAPTATION in organic evolution. This is a material necessity. Preadaptation has been ignored by the neoDarwinian evolutionary biologists, who have viewed their task to concern the dynamics of natural selection (even in simple models). So evo

Caro Marcus Abundis, il non-duale o l'uni-duale modello non è costituito da rumore (entropia) & segnale, ma da interpretazione & informazione (neg-entropia).

Hi Terry, I have used the term ‘perception’ in referring to in-formation that affects internal structure or dynamics. This would contrast with forms of potential information that might pass through the system without being ‘perceived’. For example, we have a finite number of mechanisms we cal
