Dennett I 313
Laws/Natural Laws/Kauffman: describes his work as "Physics of Biology". Here there are many regularities, but no laws such as "nutritional laws" or "laws of locomotion".
>Regularities, >Laws of nature.
These regularities result from a cost benefit account.
In the car, for example, almost any form can be explained in this way. Not by law but by norms.
>Norms.
For example, the fact that the mouth is almost always at the front of living beings is a regularity. Why talk about the law?
