The process of morphogenesis (6m 42sec): “the precise mechanism of how DNA molecules in our cells interact with other chemicals is still fiercely debated by scientists”. However, we know it starts from a single cell and it will always end to the full formation of a living human being. The same “experiment” has been repeated again and again throughout the centuries.
What are these “mindless simple rules”, that when repeated over and over again, produce the same infinitely complex result, different living mindfull human(s) each time ? How far is this process from machine learning, cellular automata, Turing machines and any model of computation in terms of simplicity/complexity, predictability/determinism, variability/stability and the infinite richness that emerges from “mindless simple rules” (58m 30sec) repeated over and over again?
It’s one thing to imagine how things work, another to believe how they work, and yet another to prove how something works in scientific terms.
It’s one thing to observe patterns, another to play the creator by building artificial intelligence machines, and yet another to become entangled in awe with the miracle of life and the cosmos that surround you.
