On the dynamical realization of automata
The concept of dynamical realizability is introduced for mappings between sets, demonstrating that finite automaton next-state maps are dynamically realizable and highlighting the complementary relationship between dynamical and automata-theoretic descriptions
On the limitations of scientific knowledge
Rosen challenges the notion that the question "What is Life?" is unscientific, arguing instead that it is central to science and solvable, despite the limitations of methods that rely on artificially simplified models of reality
On the relation between structural and functional descriptions of biological systems
The paper examines various system description frameworks used to address fundamental biological problems, highlighting their scope, limitations, and interrelationships
On the reversibility of environmentally induced alterations in abstract biological systems
The study investigates the reversibility of environmentally induced structural changes in (M,R)-systems with metabolic and genetic components, providing conditions for the metabolic component while noting complexities for the genetic component
On the role of chemical systems in the microphysical aspects of primary genetic mechanisms
The text contrasts two views of genetic processes‚ one as a communication-theoretic model with real information transfer and the other as a template scheme lacking true genetic information‚ while exploring their implications through microphysical principles and suggesting that templates are unlikely to play a primary role in genetics
No results yet, but the collection is still growing ;)
