[图书][B] Bridging the Gap between Life and Physics
R Cottam, W Ranson - 2018 - Springer
In the light of the 'Sokal affair'of early 1996 1 (Sokal 1996a, b), it would be hazardous for us
to do other than state that this work is in no way intended as a parody; nor hopefully will it …

Autocreative hierarchy II: dynamics self-organization, emergence and level-changing
Natural systems are characterized more by the way they change than by their appearance at
any one moment in time. There is, however, no self-consistent theory capable of ascribing …

Life and simple systems
This last decade has seen the publication of an extensive literature describing, cataloguing
and analyzing the 'emergence'of complexity. This seems very strange. The creation of a …

[PDF][PDF] Autocreative hierarchy I: structure-ecosystemic dependence and autonomy
The natural sciences experience great difficulty in addressing the nature of life. Most
particularly, self-consistent theories of observable scalar differences across biological …

Chaos, complexity and computation in the evolution of biological systems
Chaos, complexity and computation are especially important concepts with respect to both
the Evolution of biological systems and the evolution of the Universe. We consider each of …

A diffuse biosemiotic model for cell-to-tissue computational closure
The adoption of diffuse rationality creates a practical bridge between biosemiotics and
computation in formulating local-to-global self-consistent criteria for cellular-to-tissue …

Computation in biological systems as a quantum mechanical simulation
Our initial premise is that computation as we know it is formally derived from our bodies'
internal processing, via our neural processors. Going backwards in time, our bodies' internal …

Primal awareness, evolutionary restriction, life and the origin of quantum mechanics
We consider resemblances between humans and other species, without adopting
categorical positions of either anthropomorphism or anti-anthropomorphism. Our target in …

A framework for computing like Nature
We address the context within which 'Natural'computation can be carried out, and conclude
that a birational ecosystemic hierarchical framework would provide for computation which is …
