Seriously though, my earlier post is not a slam.....the basis of the article is the thinking that has progressed for AI to become an everyday reality very soon.

the basis of the article is the thinking that has progressed for AI to become an everyday reality very soon.

Truly, Shannon's Mathematical Theory of Communication is the root of Information Theory which is a branch of mathematics. So any new development in IT can be traced back to Shannon.

This article however is focused on information theory as applied to molecular biology with respect to the autopoiesis model.

To put it another way, it deals with information (successful communication) in nature as the necessary element for increased complexity - and more startling than that, that the message being communicated anticipates that which has not yet occurred.

Such a temporal non-locality obviously points to an intelligent cause rather than an undirected process.
