[Fis] 10 Principles

[Pedro C. Marijuan]

Dear List,

Thanks for the comments. I have tried to be more inclusive in the new 
point 2.
Also, Point 1 has been slightly modified reminding an old comment from 
Lars (that info always goes "by contact")
Other changes, in point 3 now, can be justified as follows:
The fact that biological self-production either in bacteria or in 
organisms is accompanied respectively by a "bacterial signaling system" 
or by a "central nervous system" tells us that the way of life, the 
adaptation to the niche, always needs the development of ad hoc 
informational detectors. Otherwise the life cycle becomes "blind", 
truncated and unable to advance towards completion. At the same time, 
inside every cell, inside every organism, there is an internal 
information flow related to its own self-production. For instance in a 
living cell, the self-production may imply: expression, copying, 
translation, genetic code, modification codes, degradation... While the 
signaling flow may imply: signal generation, emission, transmission 
channel, reception, decoding/processing, meaning elaboration, 
response...  Both information flows, the external and the internal, 
become intertwined, densely mixed, at all scales of biological 
organization. Let us further emphasize point 1, for all these 
information processes imply a physical contact, as they always have to 
impinge on the system receptors or sensory surfaces.

So, points 1 to 5 could read as follows:

1. Information as such: distinction of an "adjacent" difference.

2. Information processes: organized action upon distinctions collected 
into structures, patterns, sequences, messages, or flows.

3. Integrated information processes of life: information flows, both 
from the external signaling environment and from the internal productive 
environment, are  tightly integrated along the advancement of the 
adaptive life cycle --they regularly anticipate, shape, and mix up with 
the accompanying energy flows.

4. Biological complexity: communication/information exchanges among 
adaptive life-cycles underlie the complexity of biological organization 
at all scales.

5. Biological cognition: cognition, meaning and knowledge can be 
identified within the integrated signaling/productive 
molecularmechanisms that adaptively transform the cell-cycle trajectory 
as well as in the action/perception cycle of central nervous systems.

The other 5 points regarding human & social aspects may be discussed 
later on.

All the best
--Pedro
