"DIGITIZATION may have been a natural outcome of this process in reaction networks that had once been primarily analogue. At this point, information would have become separated from its physical representation, permitting information to become a causal influence in its own right, and the language of Turing and von Neumann would have begun to apply." http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS the first weekend on the examination of whether life is "red in tooth and claw." When viewed from the energy flow from the sun to the broad photosynthetic base of creatures that support an increasingly narrow pyramid of creatures that feed off those who convert sunlight to complex molecules, it is clear that life on our planet may be better expressed as "green in leaf and stalk."

PHOTON-DRIVEN PLANET. "Net primary production is the rate at which new biomass is generated, mainly due to photosynthesis." Perhaps this is the end of the discussion. https://lnkd.in/dZ36EmZ) View in LinkedIn

HUMAN-DIRECTED EVOLUTION. "Molecular technologies are now adding a further layer to this information flow. For the first time in 3.7 billion years, the Central Dogma has acquired an additional step, to include digital storage of biological information." https://lnkd.in/eKjEK6c View in LinkedIn

BROAD PHOTOSYNTHETIC BASE. "One of the oldest and most important paradigms in ecology suggests that biomass is usually distributed as a pyramid, where a broad autotrophic base supports successfully smaller strata of heterotrophs." Photon-driven life. https://lnkd.in/diNPaDG View in LinkedIn

ARTIFICIAL EVOLUTION. "Such technologies might become a significant mechanism for creation and manipulation of organisms, allowing directed and ‘artificial’ evolution." https://lnkd.in/eKjEK6c View in LinkedIn

NEGATIVE ENTROPY. "Natural Selection helps to select species which are most effective in survival and can efficiently utilize energy and negative entropy. The Sun provides the energy and entropy to produce basic organic compounds." http://www.digital-recordings.com/publ/publife.html View in LinkedIn

FUTURE SHADOW. "De novo construction of larger, eukaryotic genomes will clearly come about within a few years, as this needs only technical advances in methods that already exist." https://lnkd.in/eKjEK6c View in LinkedIn

ALL FLOWS FROM THE SUN. "Animals use the Sun's energy and negative entropy indirectly and are therefore dependent on photo-synthesizing species. During digesting and utilization of organic food, energy and negative entropy is extracted in order to build and maintain higher-level organism. Digested food has a much lower energy content and much higher entropy as is returned to the environment. Therefore all species use energy and negative entropy flowing from the Sun to Earth." http://www.digital-recordings.com/publ/publife.html View in LinkedIn

SYNTHETIC GENOME. "The steps to RNA and onward to phenotype have been achieved with the construction and cellular transfer of the first chemically synthesized bacterial genome." https://lnkd.in/eKjEK6c View in LinkedIn
