<br>
Once the echos of the NY Lecture are over, we are going to
start another discussion session. It will deal with
"Phenomenology, Life, and Information Science". In this
case the session will be pretty complex, as it will
involve five different visions or interpretations:<br>
<br>
</small></small></font><br>
</small></small>
<div><big><font size="2"><big>- Maxine Sheets-Johnstone: from Biology<br>
</big></font></big></div>
<div><big><font size="2"><big>- Louis H. Kauffman: from Mathematics<br>
</big></font></big></div>
<div><big><font size="2"><big>- Soeren Brier: from
Bio/Cybersemiotics<br>
</big></font></big></div>
<div><big><font size="2"><big>- Alex Hankey: from Physics<br>
</big></font></big></div>
<big><font size="2"><big>- Plamen L. Simeonov: with a challenging
subject in integrative medicine<br>
<br>
Plamen himself (member of our list) will moderate the
discussions. Actually the presenters belong to the large
community of authors who participated in </big></font></big>the
2015 JPBMB Special Issue on Integral Biomathematics: Life Sciences,
Mathematics and Phenomenological Philosophy. Most of the authors are
joining the list for this discussion (and from a couple of related
projects as well). That means that quite a few dozen new parties are
joining our list. Self-contention in the number of messages posted
will be highly necessary, particularly during the first weeks. The
recommendation is just one message per week, except presenters and
moderator. Later on we will see, for quite probably we will return
soon to the customary two messages (anyhow, it is recommended but
not compulsory). <br>
<br>
The discussion will start next week with Maxine's biologically
rooted views, after Plamen's general introduction to the session.
The whole discussion session is planned for three months (around 30
May end), with 3 weeks or so devoted to each topic. We all will try
that it runs smoothly... It will be quite exciting an experiment! <br>
<br>
Best regards--Pedro<br>
