CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. “If certain chemical properties exist on a planet and certain physical conditions obtain, life will start by self-reproducing macromolecular cycles which act in a complementary way.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION-FUNCTION LOOP. “Nucleic acids (information) and proteins (function) represent a closed system, because there is no function without information, and information gets meaning from function.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

ADVANTAGEOUS ERRORS. “Mutations are replication errors with selective advantage, i.e., instabilities in this system represent irreversible thermodynamic processes.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

QUASISPECIES OF ERRORS. “A series of such mutations in nucleic acid sequences leads to quasi-species that are mutant distributions of primitive replicating entities.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

FITNESS GENERATED. “Such dynamic distributions of genomes that share genetic variation, competition and selection generate the fittest types (“master copies”) and therefore avoid “error thresholds”, i.e., excessively high mutation rates, in that information cannot further reproduce.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

OPTIMIZED FITNESS. “The resulting evolution of life is an optimising process in that Darwinian selection evaluates the fittest results of mutations.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

HIDDEN GRAMMAR. “The context-dependent epigenetic imprinting which represents a deep grammar hidden in the superficial grammar of nucleic acid sequences is not the focus of synthetic biology approaches.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

CREATURES ARE NOT MACHINES. “A machine can principally calculate only those functions for which an algorithm can be provided...Essential functions of every natural language, such as non-formalizable features are not object of algorithm based calculations. Living organisms are no machines.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

ORIGIN OF SEMANTICS. “In all mathematical theories of language the syntax determines semantics (function), but in natural codes pragmatics (context) determines semantics.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn

INNATE WORLD. “Natural code-inherent rules are absent in abiotic matter that is determined strictly by natural laws: no syntax, pragmatic or semantic rules are present if water freezes to ice.” https://lnkd.in/dWwkKpD View in LinkedIn
