Emergence of Coding and its Specificity as a Physico-Informatic Problem

摘要: We explore the origin-of-life consequences of view that biological systems are demarcated from inanimate matter by their possession referential information, which is processed computationally to control choices specific physico-chemical events. Cells cybernetic: they use genetic information in processes communication and control, subjecting physical events a system integrated governance. The code most obvious example how cells computationally, but historical origin usefulness molecular not well understood. Genetic coding made useful because it imposed modular metric on evolutionary search thereby offered general solution problem finding catalysts any specificity. term “quasispecies symmetry breaking” describe iterated process self-organisation whereby alphabets distinguishable codons amino acids increased, step step.
