Information and Evolution

Posted by | August 12, 2008 | half baked ideas | No Comments

I have finally put up some notes, about what I have been thinking about for a very long time, concerning Information Theory and Evolution.

Specifically:

How systems self-emerge and self-configure for information exchange from 0 to 1 to n bits.

How these systems necessarily culminate in the complexity and diversity of living things as a result of rules governing information theory, where natural selection is a specific case of the laws governing noisy information exchange between finite sized systems.

If anyone else is interested in this topic or has any questions, the notes are here, and I’d be happy to hear from you.
