ISSUES. "Additionally, in the analogue-first picture there exists a deeper issue of (re)programmability and with the difficulty of maintaining orthogonal (i.e. non-interacting and thus non-interfering) reactions in strictly analogue reaction networks." http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

ANALOG RATIOS. "The heritable information in this case typically consists of the compositional ratios of the molecules in the organized assemblies." http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

"METABOLISM-FIRST’ scenarios for the origin of life fall within this analogue framework, positing that early life was based on autocatalytic metabolic cycles that would have been constructed in a manner akin to how analogue computer systems are cabled together to execute a specific problem-solving task." http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

EVERY FIBER. "We have argued that living and non-living matter differ fundamentally in the way information is organized and flows through the system: biological systems are distinctive because information manipulates the matter it is instantiated in." http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

ANALOG CHEMISTRY. "In analogue chemical systems, information is contained in a continuously variable composition of an assembly of molecules rather than in a discrete string of digital bits." DNA is a discrete and limited unit digital code. http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

DISPERSED. "Clearly, in an organism the algorithm cannot be decomposed and stored in simple sequential digital form to be read-out by an appropriate machine in the manner envisioned by Turing and von Neumann for their devices." https://lnkd.in/einZ2Fh View in LinkedIn

PROTEIN ANALOG PHASE. "Focusing strictly on digital storage therefore neglects this critical aspect of how biological information is processed." http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/79/20120869.short View in LinkedIn

INCREASING PLANETARY BIOINFORMATION. Arguably, all living creatures are designed first and foremost to generate ever more sophisticated biological information in the form of genes. All other activities of organisms are congruent with this primary goal. How creatures obtain their energy is insignificant when contrasted to this all-encompassing goal. View in LinkedIn

MATHEMATICALLY SPEAKING. "A certain law of the struggle for existence which may be expressed by a system of differential equations of competition remains invariable all the time." https://lnkd.in/dXiaScE View in LinkedIn

STRUGGLE FOR ENTROPY. "The general struggle for existence of all living beings is not the struggle for the fundamental substances...but it is a struggle for entropy, which is available when energy passes from the hot sun to the cold earth." (Boltzmann). https://lnkd.in/dXiaScE View in LinkedIn
