SO ENDS this first of two weekends examining a biologically-versed philosopher’s views on evolution. Not only highlighting the importance of horizontal gene transfer enabled by mobile genetic elements, he describes the rationale for genetic information being contextual by analogy with other natural linguistic codes.

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

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

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

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

SEMI-CONSENSUS ON INTELLIGENCE. 1994, statement signed by 52/131 researchers invited to sign. "A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts. Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings—"catching on," "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence 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
