    Ever since I discovered Michael Levin and his work, I started seeing biological systems as information systems. And these papers seem to point in the same direction.

      IMO, whatever the new / dominant engineering paradigm is, is what we use to understand everything else.

      Architecture, then clockwork, then steam, then machines, now computing.

      I don’t think it’s wrong in anyway to do this, but I do think it’s interesting!

        Yeah. I think linguistic relativism is oversimplifying, or possibly reversed, but it sure does feel truthy in certain lights.
