SPECTRAL RELATIONSHIPS. "Scientists have viewed evolution as a process of natural selection resulting from competition. But recently, some have argued that cooperation and symbiosis are really the dominant forces in nature." https://lnkd.in/duPhX2C View in LinkedIn

COMMUNICATION SALTATIONS. "Every major technological success in the public in the last 50 years—cars, phones, beepers, cell phones, Internet—has been about social connection. They all enhance our ability to connect in some way and are successful because they contribute to the symbiotic intelligence process." http://www.computerworld.com/article/2585443/it-management/symbiotic-intelligence.html View in LinkedIn

"GAME THEORY: Originally developed by the great mathematician John von Neumann and the economist Oscar Morgenstern, Game Theory explores the various outcomes when interactive, semi-autonomous agents engage in either cooperative and noncooperative behavior." https://lnkd.in/dBCZ5hh View in LinkedIn

NETWORKED POWER. "There's nothing new about networked computers concurrently solving complex tasks. The most famous and largest example of such distributed computing is the SETI@home project, where nearly 3 million owners of Internet-connected computers voluntarily execute the SETI program for the project (https://lnkd.in/dZsGdiR)." http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ View in LinkedIn

DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING. "Instead of sitting idle, a SETI@home computer executes the SETI program, which crunches data from radio signals coming from the Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico. Individually, the computers are unimpressive — but collectively, they make up the world's most powerful distributed supercomputer." https://lnkd.in/dh6PrEg View in LinkedIn

CODE TRANSMISSION in any system is prone to errors. What happens with these new mutations? Chimpanzees, Shakespeare, and typewriters? Is it not similar to having random mutations inserted into DNA? View in LinkedIn

"MUTATION is a permanent change in the sequence of DNA. In order for an observable effect, mutations must occur in gene exons or regulatory elements. Changes in the non-coding regions of DNA (introns and junk DNA) generally do not affect function." https://lnkd.in/dm-wZh5 View in LinkedIn

SILENT MUTATIONS. "Mutations are errors in codons caused by changes in nucleotide bases. Some mutations may not have much effect. For example, if the codon GAA becomes the codon GAG, because the genetic code is degenerate, the codon will still code for the amino acid glutamate. Such ineffectual mutations are called silent mutations." http://www.sparknotes.com/biology/molecular/geneticcode/section3.rhtml View in LinkedIn

FUNCTIONAL MUTATIONS. "Some mutations, however, can have a huge affect on coding for amino acids, which can in turn affect what proteins are produced, which can have a profound effect on cellular and organismal function." http://www.sparknotes.com/biology/molecular/geneticcode/section3.rhtml View in LinkedIn

ERROR CORRECTION. "Within the equations of supersymmetry he has found, quite unexpectedly, what are called “doubly-even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block codes.” That’s a long-winded label for codes that are commonly used to remove errors in computer transmissions, for example to correct errors in a sequence of bits representing text that has been sent across a wire." https://lnkd.in/d9hDGKw View in LinkedIn
