“The information “is in the path,” Walker said, “not the initial conditions.”” Nice to see such a strong take on the historicity of life by ⁦@Sara_Imari⁩ ! www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-theory-for-the-assembly-of-life-in-the-universe-20230504/

And there are interesting convergences with other trends in the sciences of life and mind: Arguably, an agent’s sense-making also involves such historical constitution across multiple timescales, maybe even crossing generations. link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-019-02240-7

And there is also the historicity of the ambient array, specifying environmental properties based on their past trajectories, which has implications for how to think of the brain.

Looking forward to where all these ideas are heading! Something is happening! 😎
