Information Processing in Living Systems
Life depends as much on the flow of information as on the flow of energy. Here we review the many efforts to make this intuition precise. Starting with the building blocks of information theory, we explore examples where it has been possible to measure, directly, the flow of information in biological networks, or more generally where information-theoretic ideas have been used to guide the analy...
متن کاملLiving is information processing; from molecules to global systems
We extend the concept that life is an informational phenomenon, at every level of organisation, from molecules to the global ecological system. According to this thesis: (a) living is information processing, in which memory is maintained by both molecular states and ecological states as well as the more obvious nucleic acid coding; (b) this information processing has one overall function-to per...
متن کاملConsciousness, information, and living systems.
The possibility of a proactive role for consciousness in the establishment of physical reality has been addressed via an extensive 26-year program investigating physical anomalies in human/machine interactions and non-sensory acquisition of information about remote geographical locations. Empirical databases comprising many hundreds of millions of random events confirm that information can be i...
متن کاملInformation Processing in Evolutionary Systems
A common information-concept would turn the sciences dealing with certain aspects of real-world information-processing manifestations into a single, though transdisciplinary information science. The philosophical interpretation of the self-organisation theories is a proper background theory capable of restoring information theory as a theory of evolutionary systems which process information. A ...
متن کاملInformation-Processing Systems in Nature
This paper is a sequel to my invited contribution to PPSN2000. It attempts to identify and analyse a collection of issues implicitly taken for granted in the earlier paper and in a great deal of literature which assumes that biological organisms do information processing. Normally it is assumed that we all understand intuitively what it means for something to be an information-processor, whethe...
