Agency in evolution of biomolecular communication
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1525, Issue 1, Page 88-103, July 2023., 2023 The emergence of agency in biomolecular systems involves a biphasic process of communication that constructs a message before it can be transmitted for interpretation. Evolutionary genomic and bioinformatic explorations suggest agency emerges when molecular machinery generates hierarchical layers of vocabularies in an entangled communication network ...

Antibody‐mediated enzyme formation: Its legacy at age fifty‐four
Journal of Molecular Recognition, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 The Two Waves. This sign stands on the waterfront promenade of Nervi, the East end of Genoa's municipality as a warning against dangerous storms. Here, we are using it as a conceptual illustration of the peculiar rhythm of frequency of the AMEF pubblications since 1967. Abstract Antibody‐mediated enzyme formation is a phenomenon first described in 1968

Purpose for and within Creation: A Theological Appraisal of Organismic Teleology
Modern Theology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 396-409, April 2021., 2021 Abstract Although many believe that modern evolutionary biology renders teleology superfluous, this article explores the recent resurgence of attempts to locate teleology, functions, and purpose in the nature of organisms. This essay further explores the relevance of teleology within Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox traditions, and the ways ...

System Approach to Teleonomy of Biological Organization
Theoria et Historia Scientiarum, 2007 Summary. The paper deals with natural immanent teleology of biosystems. With respect to M. Bunge’s view of theoretical constructs the author takes a system-informational theory of bioorganization and search the factual references in the form of real ...

Strong and Weak Teleology in the Life Sciences Post-Darwin
Religions, 2020 It is often assumed that direction and purpose in nature—teleology—is a dead relic of the past, a result of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) and Descent of Man (1871). But teleology has had a long and complex relationship with science.

The Nature of Stability in Replicating Systems
Entropy, 2011 We review the concept of dynamic kinetic stability, a type of stability associated specifically with replicating entities, and show how it differs from the well-known and established (static) kinetic and thermodynamic stabilities associated with regular ...

The Multiscale Wisdom of the Body: Collective Intelligence as a Tractable Interface for Next-Generation Biomedicine. [PDF]
BioessaysCurrent biomedical interventions largely focus on bottom‐up techniques targeting the molecular hardware. Regenerative medicine will increasingly exploit top‐down approaches inspired by concepts in the behavioral and information sciences to target the collective intelligence of cells in vivo.

Da, pour and to clauses in gradually teleonomic verb constructions. A comparative approach to Serbian, French and English [PDF]
Južnoslovenski Filolog, 2017 This paper examines how the Serbian “da” subordinate clause, the French preposition pour and the English particle to, mainly used in clauses expressing purpose, can become linguistic forms expressing temporal and oppositional values.

Collective Intelligence of Morphogenesis as a Teleonomic Process
, 2022 Multiscale competency is a central phenomenon in biology: molecular networks, cells, tissues, and organisms all solve problems via behavior in various spaces (metabolic, physiological, anatomical, and the familiar 3D space of movement).
