loading . . . Discreteness, computation, and rules of life for self-organization dynamics beyond equilibrium Living systems can appear static or in thermal equilibrium yet still have the capacity to revive. In this perspective, Hyun Youk introduces non-equilibrium capacity—the ability of a system to generate, sustain, and renew life-associated dynamics even after these have halted indefinitely. By slowing or suspending cellular life, together with rule-based, generalized cellular automata, a framework is proposed that unites the physical and computational principles of self-organization and explains why life’s capacity for self-renewal can persist yet is ultimately lost. http://dlvr.it/TPyPkH
