This conversation between Karl Friston and the host delves into complex topics, particularly around the concept of the Markov blanket, Bayesian mechanics, and the free energy principle. Friston outlines his interpretation of these ideas within the broader framework of understanding sentient systems, self-organization, and the foundations of life from a physics perspective. Key points include: […]
In the rapidly evolving field of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) research and safety, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment. The potential to innovate and create safer technologies is immense, but it is being hindered by outdated views and a lack of recognition of the dangers posed by non-thermal exposures to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This is […]
The origins of life on Earth have long been a subject of fascination and debate among scientists. One of the most intriguing aspects of this mystery is the concept of chirality or “handedness,” which plays a crucial role in the building blocks of life. Chirality refers to the property of certain molecules that makes them […]
In the realm of biomedicine, a paradigm shift is underway. This shift focuses on a concept that transcends the traditional understanding of cellular processes, emphasizing the role of bioelectricity as a fundamental force in shaping life itself. Bioelectricity, the electrical signals that govern cellular communication and organization, is revealing itself as a key player in […]
The traditional view in evolutionary biology holds that cognition, the ability to perceive, learn, and respond to the environment, is a product of evolution. According to this view, natural selection acts on genetic variations, occasionally leading to the emergence of cognitive abilities as adaptations. However, a growing body of thought suggests a radical reversal of […]
In a fascinating exploration of language, a new perspective emerges—one that treats natural language not as a purely linguistic construct but as a form of cognitive computation. This approach challenges conventional theories of language processing and delves into the intricate mechanisms by which our brains comprehend and generate language. The Cognitive Basis of Language At […]
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the concept of collective intelligence is becoming increasingly important. Whether in technology, organizational behavior, or even complex systems like economics and healthcare, the ability to harness the intelligence of a group is a key factor in success. Recently, an insightful discussion led by R. Kaufman, P. Gupta, and J. Taylor […]
In this insightful discussion, Josh Bongard, Tom Froese, and Mike Levin explore the concepts of Irruption Theory, Polycomputing, and the broader implications of these ideas on our understanding of minds and biological systems. The conversation centers around the idea that computation and observation in biological systems are far more complex and intertwined than traditionally thought. […]
In the rapidly evolving world of telecommunications, the skies have become the new battleground. Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starlink, with its groundbreaking direct-to-cell (DTC) service, has captured the attention of not just consumers but also some of the biggest players in the telecom industry. As Starlink continues to push the envelope by offering cellular connectivity directly […]
In recent years, we’ve seen remarkable developments in both artificial intelligence and theoretical physics that point toward a fascinating convergence: the use of geometric structures to simplify and understand complex systems. In machine learning, latent spaces provide a compressed, geometric representation of learned data, allowing neural networks to generate and predict outcomes efficiently. In theoretical […]
In the realm of biology, cells are often viewed as the fundamental building blocks of life, each with a specific function contributing to the overall organism. However, understanding how cells know what to do and when to do it involves delving into complex mechanisms beyond mere genetic instructions. Traditionally, DNA has been seen as a […]
The Mitochondrial Metabolic Theory (MMT) offers a transformative perspective on cancer and cellular function, emphasizing the role of mitochondria as bioelectric switchboard operators. This view suggests that the metabolic dysfunction in mitochondria, rather than genetic mutations, might be the primary driver of cancer. By focusing on how mitochondria regulate bioelectric signals and maintain cellular coherence, […]
