Thank you so much for the link to those two papers. I'll try and go through them. >Like, they undergo many cell cycles during one organism's life, but they're not really evolving o…

>This is especially tricky in the field of bio / biochem, which feels like it requires memorizing a million facts before one gets to do any real thinking and reasoning. This unfort…

Huge thanks for the list! Interesting to wonder just how influential or generally just of what nature cybernetics would be today without funding issues, lack of categorisability an…

Thanks a lot for your kind words! Really like your thoughts! Indeed, lack of time-series observability makes it harder for us to find general patterns or causal events. Definitely …

Thanks a lot! I think that tool might be just any general framework that gives a better idea of what any small microscopic actions might lead to at a high-level. We definitely cann…

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm definitely a little ignorant with respect to systems biology efforts. I have an okay-ish idea of the work of someone like Uri Alon, it's d…

Oof yeah. The legibility-gained per effort put in for most admins working in a system that inherently incentivises tangibility and observable "utility" (whatever that may be in thi…

Yeah, entropy definitely has been included in some forms of thought that are very correlated with complex systems. Schrodinger early on had a very interesting insight on life and e…

Wow. This is a really informative comment. >While I agree that nitty gritty formalizations are important to grasp, it's been made clear that the formal sciences were often insuffic…

Thanks a lot! SO many interesting recommendations in your comment. Yes, I agree that divergence is a very positive property right now, it might also allow for even more unexpected …

Interesting! Have heard about Christopher Alexander's work, but have never really jumped in. Maybe I should do that now. >I'm of the opinion right now that what we call "design" an…

Yes. I'm aware. I think cybernetics has definitely drifted away from what the original scope was, also I think modern interpretations of cybernetics-ish ideas and complex system st…

Yes! I think it was a parallel study between nervous systems and electrical engineering principles by Wiener et al. that kickstarted cybernetics? Interesting! Will ping you!

Absolutely. Broadly, I wonder what leads to schools not adopting emerging fields as part of the formal curriculum. Interesting to note even in 2021, only 51% US k12 high schools we…

Thank you for your very interesting comment and the reading recommendation. I agree with your general sentiment that chasing "wide applicability" or trying to force a narrative tha…

Non-deterministic nature of these models is definitely a concern. Interesting to see how companies implementing generative interface circumvent this. Maybe they create a set of fix…
