But all that remains of a 30-min conversation about #assembly_theory and #functional_information is "I wouldn't call it a law not to piss off the physicists..." 🤣 In fact, I don't believe in the special status of laws. It's all models instead.

Now that *would* piss off a lot of physicists. Too bad.

New '#assembly_theory' unifies #physics and #biology to explain #evolution and #complexity.
