Primate cranium morphology through ontogenesis and phylogenesis: factorial analysis of global variation

A Morphogenetic Evolutionary System: Phylogenesis of the POEtic Circuit

This paper describes a new evolutionary mechanism developed specifically for cellular circuits. Called morphogenetic system, it is inspired by the mechanisms of gene expression and cell differentiation found in living organisms. It will be used as the phylogenetic (evolutionary) mechanism in the POEtic project. The POEtic project will deliver an electronic circuit, called the POEtic circuit, wi...

The Epigenesis of Symbolization

This paper outlines the epigenetic logic of the emergence and elaboration of symbolization. The account is based upon considerations arising from the study of the ontogenesis and phylogenesis of symbolic communication, abstraction from which yields generalizations regarding the necessary developmental pre-requisites for the capacity for symbolization and the processes of the elaboration of symb...

Multilevel anticipative interactions for goal oriented behaviors

This paper suggests a possible infrastructure that can be used to build a cognitive architecture, combining several principles that appeared through evolution. Anticipation, regulation and coordination of interactive processes are used to produce goal-oriented behaviors, illustrated by a navigation application. Implications of the model for the phylogenesis to ontogenesis transition are discuss...

Phylostratigraphic analysis of tumor and developmental transcriptomes reveals relationship between oncogenesis, phylogenesis and ontogenesis

The question of the existence of cancer is inadequately answered by invoking somatic mutations or the disruptions of cellular and tissue control mechanisms. As such uniformly random events alone cannot account for the almost inevitable occurrence of an extremely complex process such as cancer. In the different epistemic realm, an ultimate explanation of cancer is that cancer is a reversion of a...
