This paper discusses the meaning and scope of biological hypercomputation (BH). The
framework here is computational, and from the outset it should be clear that life is not a
standard Turing Machine. Living systems hypercompute, but the distinction is made between
classical and non-classical hypercomputation. We argue that living processes are non-
classical hypercomputation. Yet, BH entails new computational models, for it does not
correspond, any longer, to the Turing Machine model of computation. Hence, we introduce …

This paper discusses the meaning and scope of biological hypercomputation (BH). The framework here is computational, and from the outset it should be clear that life is not a standard Turing Machine. Living systems hypercompute, but the distinction is made between classical and non-classical hypercomputation. We argue that living processes are non-classical hypercomputation. Yet, BH entails new computational models, for it does not correspond, any longer, to the Turing Machine model of computation. Hence, we introduce BH having a twofold scope, thus: on the one hand, it implies new computational models, while on the other hand we aim at understanding life not by what it is, but rather by what it does. From a computational point of view, life hypercomputes. At the end we sketch out the possibilities, stances and reach of BH. The aim of BH is basically help understanding life from a computational standpoint.
