This chapter offers a fresh look at the question of emergence in biology, from the origin of life to evolution and ecology. In the process, it considers potential examples of emergence and whether innovations in structure or process can be considered emergent.
quite obvious: biological information is transmitted through parental genes, and ac-quired characteristics are not passed on. In all cultural evolution, including technology, information is transmitted laterally and di-agonally as well as vertically. Cross-lineage hybridization, common in all cultural evolu-tion systems, is rare in the ...
We discuss the properties associated with emergent behavior (Goldstein, 1999; Deguet et al., 2002), and apply them to an integrative framework for describing activities in scientific research and...
5 Σεπ 2023 · This paper considers how a classification of causal effects as comprising efficient, formal, material, and final causation can provide a useful understanding of how emergence takes place in biology and technology, with formal, material, and final causation all including cases of downward causation; they each occur in both synchronic and ...
27 Φεβ 2008 · provide a simple, clear description, and classification of emergence in terms of self-organization. This provides a framework for understanding how concepts such as thermodynamic equilibrium, nonlinearity, and computability are related to emergence. 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

7 Ιαν 2017 · Punctuated equilibrium can be an emergent process, akin to complex systems. An out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics approach is proposed. The role of the mutation rate is investigated using a simulated annealing protocol. Mutation rate can be controlled to efficiently explore the genotype space.
7 Δεκ 2023 · In this essay, I will start with some basic considerations on systems theory and how it can be made fruitful for biological research, mostly referring to the work of the late philosopher of science Mario Bunge (1919–2020).
