1) completely determined by an input string (the genome). It by no means represents, however, an output determined only by a mapping function, so that the resulting structure appears as not encoded at all in the input string. On the contrary, the transmission of the information content on behalf of the source appears to be a process of realization, revelation and "renewal" of itself, a process realized, in particular, in accordance with the conditions proper to a coupled system: as a matter of fact, at the biological level the function necessarily self-organizes together with its meaning thereby avoiding (as linked to the stake) Scylla (the simple dissipation) and Carybdis (the pure crystallization). Hence the necessity at the level of life of the continuously renewed realization of a specific compromise: the "aperiodic crystal", as Schrödinger called that particular intermediate state represented by DNA." /> Embodiment processes and biological computing - Carsetti Arturo | sdvig press
