As I show in the 2008 publication Computational Ontogeny, self-replicators are partitioned into organs that can be separated (or, teased from one-another), in such a way that the constructor...

In simple self-replicating machines (exclusive of developmental automata), the structure of the description (machine genome) is very simple. For the von Neumann model, the description is...

With sex chromosomes, there are not two copies in the mammalian male. So, for this special case, how does cross-over work?

I offer the hypothesis that those amino-acid residues that are not part of the active-site, and particularly those found on the outside of the active protein, may perhaps have a role in the...

As indicated in other postings I've made, the sub-sequence has a length (number of symbols used to represent the indicated values [0..n)) that is equal to the rounded-up value of log10 n. So, for...

I gave Google the search criteria of {regularity crossover site} and obtained less than encouraging results; they suggest that no publication has addressed specifically the question of non-random...

In struggling to clarify a nagging dissatisfaction with Robert Rosen's well developed arguments regarding the limitations of formal models, the question of this discussion came to mind, that Rosen...

The Q&A facility of ResearchGate is a great way for workers to find solutions to vexing problems, make contact with like minded researchers, etc. Yet, it seems a long way from the support that...

This is to say, the linear ordering of nucleotide residues in the DNA molecule is equivalent to the orderings of nucleotide residues in the set of shustrings. I am looking for commentary on this...

Does this occur, or does this not occur? If it does indeed occur, with what frequency?

Extending the discussion of shustrings, it occurs to me that indeed this will perhaps be the best measure of sequence redundancy. If it happens that a genome of arbitrary size is of minimal...

Mechanism remains a controversy in biology; indeed, it is ever more pronounced the more we learn of cell and molecular biology. Ribosomes sure look like machines to me. Work with Mycoplasma to...

Clearly, form follows function, for functional elements have definite form but, we may not infer function from form. The question I have is, how is the limitation on the inference of function...

I am deeply interested in the notion of mechanism as a basis of understanding of biological systems, of living systems. My personal goal is the effective construction of a physical...

Random is not maximally disordered; it involves a degree of disorder that is less than the maximum possible disorder that might be obtained for a sequence of measures, symbols, etc. So, if random...
