Living computers theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Living computers theory is a fledgling physical theory that all living entities are information processors (computers). It makes no comment on metaphysics.
Biological Computation and Bioinformatics are well-established concepts. The former typically refers to the creation of biological entities for specific computing purposes (for example, DNA-based computing[1]) and the latter to the use of mathematical algorithms and computers to analyse biological information.
The theory views biochemical processes such as signal transduction and neuronal synapses as information processes.
