Motility Control of Symbionts and Organelles by the Eukaryotic Cell: The Handling of the Motile Capacity of Individual Parts Forges a Collective Biological Identity
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-10)
Motility occupies a decisive role in an organism's ability to autonomously interact with its environment. However, collective biological organizations exhibit individual parts, which have temporally or definitively lost ...
Integrated Information in the Thermodynamic Limit
(International Neural Network Society, 2019-06)
The capacity to integrate information is a prominent feature of biological, neural, and cognitive processes. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) provides mathematical tools for quantifying the level of integration in a ...
Understanding Multicellularity: The Functional Organization of the Intercellular Space
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-18)
The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical framework to understand how multicellular systems realize functionally integrated physiological entities by organizing their intercellular space. From a perspective centered ...
The Origin of a Trans-Generational Organization in the Phenomenon of Biogenesis
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-24)
One of the central issues of the whole process of biogenesis is how to understand the progressive constitution of a large (in spatial and temporal terms) system that transcends the individual sphere of proto-metabolic ...
Understanding “plausibility”: A relational approach to the anticipatory heuristics of future scenarios
(Elsevier, 2019-05-13)
The creation of future scenarios is considered a valuable methodological tool for shaping the anticipatory governance of emerging technologies. Although plausibility is presented as a necessary (but not sufficient) criterion ...
