Marx as a philosophical biologist? Chris Shambaugh on young Marx's account of organismal agency, its relation to human life to the critique of capitalism. www.dialecticalsystems.eu/publications...

Number of works focused on autopoiesis and (M, R)-systems. Counts are based on the Web of Science. It would be interesting to see if the trend has changed from 2013 to 2024... Source: repositorio.uchile.cl/handle/2250/...

Why do cultural skills (reading, maths) consistently activate the same brain regions across people? @standehaene.bsky.social and L. Cohen argue that culture doesn’t create new brain circuits: it invades evolutionarily ancient maps of the cortex. check this great paper www.cell.com/action/showP...

Congratulations Sergi and Co, excellent work! Bretskyan hierarchy in spirit work on the spatial structures of innovation. Look at this revealing thread on the new study about the spatial patterns of human innovation👇 🧪 #Complexity

What does #ecology have to do with #innovation? #Scalinglaws of innovation don’t just come from city size, they emerge from how ideas compete and spread. Then, inequality is not a bug; it’s an emergent feature. See doi.org/10.1038/s442... @svalver.bsky.social @sduran-nebreda.bsky.social

The platonic world does not exist “out there”, it’s a projection inside your mind when you must construct internal representations that are devoid of the history and causal contingency in the objects of your experience

The characterization of life as a thermodynamic phenomenon out of equilibrium is usually attributed to Schrödinger. What if I told you that he wasn't the first (not even the second😶‍🌫️) to reach that famous and influential conclusion?/1 #complexitycat🐈‍⬛ amahury.github.io/posts/reinve...

Excited to share our @sfiscience.bsky.social collab where we uncover universal scaling laws in thermal performance across the tree of life. We found one trait predicts critical temperature limits from viruses to mammals, which is useful to develop rapid forecasting under climate change.🌍📈

How can we design complex computational systems using synthetic biology? Check our paper, where we use space as a computational element, dramatically reducing communication requirements while allowing modularity, reusability, scalability & minimal cell engineering. journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

1. Von Neumann wasn’t a computationalist; he knew the limits of his approach. 2. String-pool self-replicators go back to Walter Fontana, 30 years ago. 3. According to your definition, life is embodied, but for the moment your experiments are merely syntactical, without a body.

Last week, #complexitycat brought you a short essay tracing the idea of life as a thermodynamic phenomenon out of equilibrium, discovering that Schrödinger failed to cite relevant contributions when writing his popular “What is Life?”. Want to know more? Check it out below!🐈‍⬛✍️
