RE: Life is Data: Survival Instincts And Their Role In Preserving Life

in #biology • 7 years ago

The word "data" in your posting threw me off a bit, as I have a formal definition of that in my head. I like "Action Patterns" better, or data and procedures that operate on data. Or even information in stead of data. Consider this I must. Engineer's burden, I suppose 8-).

Many of these Action Patterns we learn by generalising observations; it would be impractical to rethink every time if a brick falls up or down. They are not all built-in at birth, I mean.
