  • "The behavior of a fish and the functioning of a theory of water are exactly identical. The fish represents water by its structure and its functioning. Both features define an initial condition (for example, the degree of viscosity of water) which, when spotted or sensed, trigger off a prognosis or behavioral response which, in case of a fish, fails to be falsified. By contrast, a bird does not represent water." (Munz, 2001: 155) .

• The Harvard Yard, Larouche Youth Mouvement, August 2008
  • didn't really study the topic at hand and spend more than 50% of the time on side ideas (Newtonian physics vs Kepler discoveries). Those are interesting historical ideas but discussing their own re-work of those ideas hardly make the point for the "documentary". All references where internal to the body of knowledge by the participants (aka LaRouche underlying political program). The debate on science is and epistemology is interesting but then if individual independant discovery is the ideal solution, why participate to this within the Larouche structure?

• Seeking the foundations of cognition in bacteria: From Schroedinger’s negative entropy to latent information by Eshel Ben Jacoba, Yoash Shapira, Alfred I. Tauber, pages 495-524 of Physica A 359, 2006
  • "Biology lacks a theory of non-equilibrium, which might explain self-organization in open systems. Indeed, contemporary physics calculates the efficiency of a thermodynamic machine if it functions infinitely slowly, but not when it operates at a given finite rate. But we have no idea even how to describe the dynamics of an open system whose composition changes according to internal information, let alone the underlying principles involved." (p498)
  • "a biotic machine is analogous to hybridization of three man-made machines - a thermodynamic engine, a pump and an information processing system." (p501)
    • to compare to other functionnal models of Protocells: Bridging Nonliving and Living Matter
  • "By using ATP nanomachines, the biotic systems feed low entropy energy into a specific spatio-temporal micro-level distribution. Currently we lack the physical principles to describe such processes." (p503)
  • "Bacteria are too short to detect chemical gradients, yet they are still able to sense gradients and bias their movement accordingly." (p503)
  • "Bacteria are not the solitary, simple organisms as they are usually depicted. Under natural growth conditions, certain bacterial species self-organize into hierarchically complex structured colonies containing 10⁹-10¹² organisms" (p504)
  • "This ability to form cooperative collectives is an evolutionary novelty: New functional features that support the foundation of cognition appear at every level of colonial self-organization -from the internal cellular gel to the growth of the colony as a whole- thus facilitating a high level of functional complexity." (p506)
    • regarding communication, section "5.1. Bacterial communication", see also Stigmergic Collaboration: A Theoretical Framework for Mass Collaboration by Mark Alan Elliott, University of Melbourne 2007
  • "contextual information is directly transferred by conjugation following chemical courtship played by the potential partners: bacteria resistant to antibiotics emit chemical signals to announce this fact. Bacteria in need of that information, upon receiving the signal, emit pheromone-like peptides to declare their willingness to mate. Sometimes, the decision to mate is followed by exchange of competence factors (peptides). This pre-conjugation communication modifies the membrane of the partner cell into a penetrable state needed for conjugation." (p507)
  • "It is commonly argued [7,79] that by using Godel-like mapping of the genetic code into numbers, or by mapping the synthesis of organic molecules and other metabolic functions onto a computer program, one might deduce that the stored genetic code is both self-consistent and complete in describing the organism’s lifecycle. This implies that Schrodinger was wrong in looking for missing principles of physics." (p515-516)
    • an equivalent of computional EvoDevo? like http://www.evogrid.org/ ?
  • "organisms must glean additional information from their surroundings, perform information processing, and then generate new information. Only in this way can they maintain the level of freedom of response and flexibility required for life." (p516)

  • "new picture of the ‘‘cybernetic’’ genome [77-79] which is emerging following the complete sequencing of various organisms." (p516) can it be compared to recent computer languages, i.e does it "support iconicity"? (most likely yes)
  • "We suggest that this approach to understanding the foundation of cognition as an information based projection (stimulated by external stimuli) of an entangled state of options onto an eigen-like intra-cellular informational states leads us safely away from Laplace’s Demon." (p518)
