“It is now plausible at the molecular level to conceive of concerted, non-random changes in the genome guided by cellular computing networks during episodes of evolutionary change. Thus, just as the genome has come to be seen as a highly sophisticated information storage system, its evolution has become a matter of highly sophisticated information processing.”
― Evolution as Computation
― Evolution as Computation
“It's always seemed like a big mystery how nature, seemingly so effortlessly, manages to produce so much that seems to us so complex. Well, I think we found its secret. It's just sampling what's out there in the computational universe.”
