"misinformation is widespread in biological systems spanning levels of organization, and [...] is probably an inevitable property that inherits from fundamental constraints on biological communication systems, rather than a pathology" royalsocietypublishing.org/rsif/article/2…
Something I told 13 yo: Many if not most philosophical controversies are artifacts of trying to using natural language at a higher resolution than it will support.

I doubt von Neumann would agree that DNA sequences are computer code. As he wrote in TSRA, "by axiomatizing automata in this manner, one has thrown half of the problem out of the window, and it may be the more important half." It's the stuff that can't be formalized that's…
DNA sequences are computer code! It was a pleasure to explore John Von Neumann's theory on life as a form of computation and the lessons we can learn from modern AI systems with @ecsquendor on @MLStreetTalk: bit.ly/4nreMO7 Thank you for the thoughtful questions!
DNA sequences are NOT computer code. Clueless about von Neumann’s TSRA. @dpwaters

Benjamin Gaskin discusses intelligence as a symbolic-dynamical constraint Nice to see reference to Howard Pattee's work #ALIFE2025 #TONAL2025 @ALifeConf
Quanta staff are answering your questions about “How We Came to Know Earth,” our latest special issue, this afternoon on Reddit. reddit.com/r/askscience/c…
Thanks to the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science (and @langofmind) for inviting me to talk about my book: ruccs.rutgers.edu/talks/list-of-…
“DNA could easily be seen as the embodiment of principles first realized in the late 1930s by Alan Turing and enshrined in the Turing machine, which responds to signals encoded on a tape.” - David Baltimore (1984) R.I.P. nytimes.com/2025/09/07/sci…
An excerpt from Howard Pattee's "The Physical Basis and Origin of Hierarchical Control." His work should be required reading for anyone wanting to debate the origins of life, cognition and consciousness, free will vs. determinism, or #complexity in general link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
And I've tentatively decided to subscribe!
This piece is well worth your time. Some subtle but important distinctions in what we mean by "computation." And a call for "humility about computationalism in mind and life."
Computation, one of the most well-grounded and unambiguous terms we have developed so far... right?🤔 Before building a computationalist empire, we must not forget to go right down to the foundations. So, what exactly is computation?/1 #complexitycat 🐈⬛ amahury.github.io/posts/what-com…
