[Fis] The 10 Principles of Information

[Stanley N Salthe]

Accepting Pedro’s proclivity to associate information with life, we can
agree that information makes a difference to living systems

Then, life is characterized by e.g.:

     multiple reactivities

     cleaving to certain conditions that the system is adjacent (adapted)
to:

     attractions and refusals

     Stigmergy

     Perpetuation in other material manifestations (e.g.,biological
reproduction)

     Build-up via organized actions / entropy production

But most of these are found in simpler form in abiotic dissipative
structures as well. Life characterizes very complicated and complex
dissipative structures

So, information must make a difference to the promotion of any dissipative
structure. (Here we arrive in physics!)
