97yo genie #HHPattee published a chapter just few months ago in #OpenSemiotics vol4, in which expands & pushes his theoretical argumentation framework, embracing the recent biology research on #abiogenesis & spontaneous #folding

top quote:

» #RNATieClub did not discover the “mechanism” of the code because there was no #mechanism
The code is symbolic or “chemically gratuitous” in #Monod words
There was nothing to discover from laws or logical thinking «

Symbol Grounding by Folding: The Primary Biosemiosis

Interpretation of human language is an obscure process that constructs meaning from symbol vehicles. Less obscure is the symbol grounding of genetic language by copolymer folding. Folding is an energy-dependent dynamics that removes sequence

Weekend Surprise!

“Behavior and Culture in One Dimension“ author Dennis Waters interview, in which as #HHPattee disciple, can't await to display Pattee collected works in min. 1

Followed by @ceperez first question on the Epistemic Cut !
And a clearly, down to basics, and pragmatic response!

A classic on #AL and #AI from #HHPattee written back in 1995 when polymer folding was still a computationally intractable problem😀.
Still, his thoughts are as powerful as ever.

Artificial Life Needs a Real Epistemology

Abstract Foundational controversies in artificial life and artificial intelligence arise from lack of decidable criteria for defining the epistemic cuts that separate knowledge of reality from reality itself, e.g., description from construction,

@Inquiry @Harishjosev

Yes, another version of #CSPeirce’s triad is #WRAshby’s distinction between #Machine (object, observed phenomenon), #System (a finite set of variables and their relationships selected by the #Observer), and the #Model created by the observer to describe or/and #Control the machine.

However, I was speaking about the different phenomena (machines) and their controllability.
Mere #Physical (static or dynamic) #Structures driven by known (discoverable, invariant) #NaturalLaws as opposed to emergent #DynamicalSystems that are under the influence of arbitrary, local #Rules as explained by #HHPattee.

“#HierarchyTheory: The challenge of complex systems” - Published back in 1973, but many people still struggle to understand it.

It affects everything, from the #OriginofLife to #Democracy, #Control, #FreeWill …
This matter is so fundamental that it should be taught in schools as part of a standard high school curriculum, along with physics, chemistry, and biology.
