The cognitive agent: Overcoming informational limits
Within a biological organism it is possible to identify a number of general functions facilitated by internal mutually connected mechanisms. The organization responsible for material and energy exchange with the environment and the integration of those into the operation of the organism is broadly classi ed as the metabolic system. The organization responsible for identi cation of external inva...
متن کاملStable States of Biological Organisms
A novel model of biological organisms is advanced, treating an organism as a self-consistent system subject to a pathogen flux. The principal novelty of the model is that it describes not some parts, but a biological organism as a whole. The organism is modeled by a five-dimensional dynamical system. The organism homeostasis is described by the evolution equations for five interacting component...
متن کاملBIOINFORMANTS: BIOLogical, INFORMAtional ageNTS on the Internet
We define a bioinformant as a software agent with specific abilities to serve as an assistant for a biologist. This paper describes the design guidelines and the first implementation of BIOINFORMANTS: a platform for scientific computing on the web. The goal of this project is to develop a computational, web-oriented, software platform to recover and analyze genetic information, (re)using existi...
متن کاملSpace as an invention of biological organisms
The question of the nature of space around us has occupied thinkers since the dawn of humanity, with scientists and philosophers today implicitly assuming that space is something that exists objectively. Here we show that this does not have to be the case: the notion of space could emerge when biological organisms seek an economic representation of their sensorimotor flow. The emergence of spat...
متن کاملGenomically recoded organisms expand biological functions.
We describe the construction and characterization of a genomically recoded organism (GRO). We replaced all known UAG stop codons in Escherichia coli MG1655 with synonymous UAA codons, which permitted the deletion of release factor 1 and reassignment of UAG translation function. This GRO exhibited improved properties for incorporation of nonstandard amino acids that expand the chemical diversity...
