<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763">Dear Koichiro, Joe, Andrei and All,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763">sorry for joining the discussion a bit late. I was observing it with interest but other duties distracted me from earlier reactions.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763">Let's agree on one particular important aspect that needs attention at all subsumptive hierarchy levels of biocomputation - to use Stan Salthe's model, - related to the pair homeostasis-illness, - I refer to earlier discussions with John Torday, partly in this forum, I think - which declare two entirely different modes of biocomputation: correct, regulated and incorrect, false or dysregulated, while accepting the fact that there is no perfect health or illness, but usually some configuration which is very distinct in each individual's "(self-)programming". What do we mean exactly when referring to related issues of computation from the quantum level, through macromolecules up to organs and systems in a living organism? We refer to the logical validation of systemic processes that needs to be balanced (with some degree of fault tolerance) in order to compute and make transitions, deliver concentrations of substances, fields interferences, enable signalling, etc. correctly between the diverse levels. This is what makes comprehending biocomputing so difficult. It is like a mixture of digital, analog, quantum and fuzzy processing all in one, often unnoticeable, although available, at some levels and emphasized at others. We cannot reduce that kind of interactions in living systems just to one or two or even 10 kinds of phenomena or (sub)-computations. They are all available and interact with each other simultaneously. There is not a single form of such biocomputing or "intelligence" of a cell, an organ or a system that can be said as a major manifestation of this process, since they all emerged and evolved with the purpose maintain homeostasis and negentropy (negative entropy) in contradiction to purely physical systems, and yet being a part of a complex with them. What I wish to say with all this is that e.g. an infection with a novel virus from outside, introduces a (computing) process of regulation, adaptation and inclusion of new modes of computing into the organism. It happens permanently: an unfinished and infinite process. This is how eukaryotes emerged from prokaryotes and mitochondria were adopted and integrated within the cell plasma to deliver beneficial modulating forms of processing, usually at a different level than the one of the adopter, and communicate with other peers inside and inside the host system. RNAs and DNAs, as well as CNS and other tools, engines and utilities emerged and/or were ready adopted at certain points in evolution (spare time), which also means that a selective process was undergoing. The different modi of biocomputing have different logics, but they need to be made compatible with each other at the "joint"/ transition points, since when homeostasis is disturbed, this ultimately leads to death of the entire system. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763">Just as a comment.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763">Best,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#073763">plamen </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Jun 26, 2022 at 12:04 PM <<a href="mailto:joe.brenner@bluewin.ch">joe.brenner@bluewin.ch</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" style="word-wrap:break-word"><div class="gmail-m_5267971811093506104WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Dear Koichiro,<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This statement is certainly valid.

The whole process of computation is directly related to the aspects of “potentiality in reality”. The advanced systems that developed complex behavior are able to hold the potential for a prolonged time to make precise outputs based on the choice of particular result that help the system to navigate in the external world. This means that such holding the potential corresponds to the abstracting capacity, which was clarified in recent papers of Koichiro. This also corresponds to the duality of actual entity and of abstract entity in the philosophy of A.N. Whitehead. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black">Many years ago, in my first paper of BioSystems (1993) I suggested the idea that the Heisenberg uncertainty ratio “energy-time” can explain the precision of operation of macromolecules as computing devices in living systems in a way that the prolonged time of quantum measurement corresponds to the minimum dissipation of energy in it, i.e. to the precise result and thus represents the basis of natural computation performed by macromolecular devices. These devices operate as molecular automata of the extremal quantum computer, and their set maintains highly ordered robust coherent state, which precisely directs actualizations in the course of natural computational process. During this process, single events corresponding to realization of interacting individual programs form a percolating network, and this leads to concrete spatial patterns constructed using optimal coordinate scales. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black">I am confident that this concept has a potential for development, and it is grounded in the ideas expressed by Efim Liberman in his conceptual approach to natural computation. Several concrete aspects of the quantum biological computation were outlined in the works of Koichiro Matsuno, including the estimation of actual energy dissipation in the course of measurement accompanied by emitting quanta, each carrying energy E at every time interval τ (Matsuno and Paton, 2000, BioSystems 55: 39-46). The works of Yukio Gunji, of Andrei Khrennikov, also earlier works of Howard Pattee and others, are particularly important in this development, although we are still at the beginning of this important paradigm of the “new science”. In this development, the paradigm of the new science will incorporate the ideas of relational biology formulated by Robert Rosen, which will result in overcoming their too abstract original representation. Summarizing, I would say that we have all prerequisites for the concept of natural computation that can be applied to the real world, and the logic of potentiality in reality is in the core of this paradigm. The real world is <i>tantot libre, tantot recherché </i>(Beethoven words), and this is a pledge of freedom, which is the basis of the existence of the world and its evolution. <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black">All the best, <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:black">Andrei <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
