The project is now carried forward as a periodic JPBMB focused report made possible by the generous support of Prof. Denis Noble and the members of our worldwide multidisciplinary research community. This time we take on an essential aspect of our discourse that was touched upon in some of the previous contributions, but still has not been considered sufficiently in contemporary biomathematical and biocomputational models<em>.</em> We have decided to put the emphasis of this volume on phenomenological philosophy and its relation to life sciences and mathematics because we consider it as a central and leading element in the development of scientific thought. To avoid semantic confusion, bear in mind that the term “phenomenology” is still being used with a very different, Cartesian meaning in the natural sciences (cf. [5], pp. xiii-xiv). What concerns us in the present forum are concepts of phenomenological <em>philosophy </em>such as von Uexküll’s umwelt (or “surrounding world”), Heidegger's notion of being-in-the-world [6], Husserl's notion of life-world, Bergson’s concept of lived time, and Merleau-Ponty's corporeality [7] and depth [8]. Here, the body is seen not only as an object of scientific study, but as an experiential ground that constitutes a world unto itself, one that first makes intelligible the emergence of subjectivity in relation to a surrounding milieu.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;line-height:1.5em">We welcome original contributions exploring the borderlines between philosophical phenomenology and cognitive science, neuroscience, biology, ecological/environmental science, biosemiotics, autopoiesis, second-order cybernetics, artificial intelligence, pure mathematics and computation, chaos and complexity science. They can be developed along the lines of thought and philosophical traditions of F. W. J. von Schelling, Jakob Johann von Uexküll, Gustav T. Fechner, William James, Charles S. Pierce, Henri Bergson, Alfred North Whitehead, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Francisco Varela, Evan Thompson, and others.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;line-height:1.5em"><strong>References</strong><br>[1] Simeonov, P.
