“It is now plausible at the molecular level to conceive of concerted, non-random changes in the genome guided by cellular computing networks during episodes of evolutionary change. Thus, just as the genome has come to be seen as a highly sophisticated information storage system, its evolution has become a matter of highly sophisticated information processing.”
― Evolution as Computation
― Evolution as Computation
“We're presently in the midst of a third intellectual revolution. The first came with Newton: the planets obey physical laws. The second came with Darwin: biology obeys genetic laws. In today’s third revolution, were coming to realize that even minds and societies emerge from interacting laws that can be regarded as computations. Everything is a computation.”
