Integral Biomathics: A Post-Newtonian View into the Logos of Bios (On the New Meaning, Relations and Principles of Life in Science)

TL;DR

This paper surveys natural and life sciences to explore emergence, adaptation, and evolution in biosystems from a novel perspective on computation and communication, aiming to redefine fundamental principles of life.

Contribution

It introduces a new conceptual framework for understanding life processes through a post-Newtonian, integral biomathics approach, emphasizing emergence and self-organization.

Findings

New perspective on biosystem emergence and evolution

Reconceptualization of computation and communication in living systems

Foundations for a novel research program in life sciences

Abstract

This work is an attempt for a state-of-the-art survey of natural and life sciences with the goal to define the scope and address the central questions of an original research program. It is focused on the phenomena of emergence, adaptive dynamics and evolution of self-assembling, self-organizing, self-maintaining and self-replicating biosynthetic systems viewed from a newly-arranged perspective and understanding of computation and communication in the living nature.
