I leave for a day, and this is what I find! Who knew you were so busy since the debate thread on this topic!! And to that, I say bravo!!! A very impressive first stab at trying to integrate autopioesis and information theory into the scientific study of living organisms. All the best—GGG
PS I sent the link to this thread to CMI in the hopes that they will forward it to Alex Williams. I would love to add him to this thread!
That would be wonderful! I wonder what Williams would think of the "extrapolations" we have made of his extraordinarily "competent" theory in the direction of Shannon information theory. It seems to me the IC/AP model is perfectly consistent with what the latter holds. Which to my mind lends credence to Williams' findings.
"Good stuff" just naturally resonates... even beyond the bounds in which it was originally imagined and articulated.
