VARIATION. “Mutations that provide organisms with a reproductive advantage over others (beneficial mutations) will tend to propagate to future generations. It is important to note that the fraction of beneficial mutations (among all those that can occur) is usually very small, with most mutations being deleterious and the rest neutral.” http://arxiv.org/pdf/1111.2503 View in LinkedIn

LATENT. “Some viruses also exhibit self-protective behavior, including camouflage techniques.” https://books.google.com/books?id=qErpoKjc1h4C&pg=PA261&lpg=PA261&dq=computer+virus+metabolism&source=bl&ots=NWmF_p3xqj&sig=XEfXy2VQZdbYQgBJSndUVHbkDSI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi51qLC35fLAhUBcj4KHQW-B9AQ6AEIFzAE View in LinkedIn

SPECIALIZATION. “Other viruses exhibit territorial behavior -- marking their infected domain so that others of the same type will not enter and compete with the original infection.” https://books.google.com/books?id=qErpoKjc1h4C&pg=PA261&lpg=PA261&dq=computer+virus+metabolism&source=bl&ots=NWmF_p3xqj&sig=XEfXy2VQZdbYQgBJSndUVHbkDSI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi51qLC35fLAhUBcj4KHQW-B9AQ6AEIFzAE View in LinkedIn

DEFINED NICHES. “Some viruses also exhibit predatory behavior. For instance, the DenZuk virus will seek up and overwrite its traces of the Brain virus if they are both present on the same system.” https://books.google.com/books?id=qErpoKjc1h4C&pg=PA261&lpg=PA261&dq=computer+virus+metabolism&source=bl&ots=NWmF_p3xqj&sig=XEfXy2VQZdbYQgBJSndUVHbkDSI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi51qLC35fLAhUBcj4KHQW-B9AQ6AEIFzAE View in LinkedIn

IN SITU. “Natural language and communication are context dependent. This means that the same syntactic structure of content-loaded signs can transport different and even contradictory meanings for the language-using receiver, dependent on the context in which the language sequence is used.” http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3512409/ View in LinkedIn

CONTEXT. “These content-loaded signs are used at several levels of organization and complexity, starting with single molecules up to complex ecosystems. Moreover, to decode the context-dependent content of these signs, biological agents must be capable of their correct interpretation, that is, so-called context involvement.” http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3512409/ View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION PROCESSING. “By contrast, living organisms generate new sequences and new information without involving any algorithms. They are characterized by an inherent competence to use content-loaded signs, relevant for their survival, for signalling and communication.” http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3512409/ View in LinkedIn

THEORY OF INFORMATION. “The former is a mathematical procedure, which depends on set algorithms to perform any tasks, and which only processes quantifiable sets of signs according to algorithm-based rules.” http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3512409/ View in LinkedIn
