| Coincidence | Kauffman | I 9 Science/coincidence/Kauffman: science has reduced us to beings who owe their existence to coincidence. KauffmanVs: this is incomplete. >Life/Kauffman, >Science, >Evolution, >Beginning. I 282 Coincidence/Kauffman: There is an inevitability of historical coincidence. The periodic table is clear, but at the level of chemistry, the space of possible molecules is larger than the number of atoms in the universe. Life is thus the product of a historical coincidence. I 286 Evolution/Life/Self-organisation/Coincidence/Necessity/Kauffman: we are not just pieced up handicrafts, not just molecular ad hoc apparatuses. KauffmanVsGould, KauffmanVsMonod, KauffmanVsJacob, KauffmanVsBricolage. >St. J. Gould, >J. Monod, >F. Jacob, >Bricolage. We are children of necessity. At home in the universe. |

| Information | Monod | Dennett I 268 The information is present in the specific environmental conditions. Initial conditions ensure that one certain structure is selected from many possible ones. Through elimination ambiguity becomes clarity. ("Interpretation"). >Ambiguity, >Evolution, >Initial conditions, >Selection. --- Monod I 29 Information/Monod: information requires a sender. (Also within a living being). For example, crystal/life: the amount of information encoded in the crystal structure is several orders of size smaller than that which is transmitted from one generation to another in the most primitive creature. I 92 Information/Biology/Monod: the amount of information required to determine the three-dimensional structure of a protein is much greater than that required to establish the sequence. ElsässerVsMonod: Contradiction: On the one hand, the genome completely determines the function of a protein while the function is bound on the other hand to a three-dimensional structure whose information content is much greater than the direct genetic determination of the structure. Elsässer: sees instead in the macroscopic development of the living beings a phenomenon, which is physically not explainable, because it seems to testify an "enrichment without cause". >Emergence. MonodVsElsässer: the objection is dispensed with when investigating the molecular level of epigenesis: information enrichment results from the fact that the genetic information (represented by the sequence) is actually expressed only under precisely defined initial conditions (in aqueous phase within certain narrow limits of temperature, the ion composition, etc.) so that only a single one of all possible structures can be realized. Thus, the initial conditions contribute to the information that is finally contained in the globular structure, without specifying it! Thus, in the structuring process of a globular protein, the microscopic image and the cause of the self-active epigenetic development of the organism can be seen simultaneously. |

| Various Authors | Eigen Vs Various Authors | VII ~171 EigenVsInformationsästhetik: Vs Mittelwertbildung, wo die wesentliche Information allein im Detail zu finden ist. VII 187 Evolution/Leben/Ordnung/EigenVsMonod: die Evolution ist überhaupt nicht so zufällig, wie Monod es darstellt. Der Ausgleich der Schwankungen ist ein makroskopisches Geschehen, das den Naturgesetzen gehorcht. VII 317 Evolution/EigenVsMonod: daß sie "allein aus störenden Geräuschen hervorgegangen ist" spricht nicht gegen das Gesetzmäßige der Evolution. Allerdings hat der Zufall seinen Stellenwert in der Mutation. EigenVsTeilhard: der "Punkt Omega" findet in der molekularbiologischen Forschung keinerlei Rückhalt, d.h. es gibt keinen vorgezeichneten Weg und kein vorgezeichnetes Ziel der Evolution. VII 345 ästhetische Information/EigenVsMoles: das Shannonsche Konzept der Information erweist sich nur dort als leitsungsfähig, wo es ein abgegrenztes System mit festgelegter Symbolmenge (Repertoire) gibt. 1. Moles läßt die Normierungsbedingungen bei der Berechnung von Melodien außer Acht. 2. "Originalitätsparameter" hat keinen Sinn, wenn er einmal aus wenig aufgeführten Werken resultiert, ein andermal aus häufig gespielten. |

| Various Authors | Kauffman Vs Various Authors | Dennett I 311 Monod / Francois Jacob: Thesis: nature is a "crafter" (> bricolage). Opportunism, acomplete lack of direction and coincidence prevail. (KauffmanVs). Kauffman: also a blind crafter finds the forced moves. I Kauffman 286 Life / Self Organisation / Kauffman: we are not just pieced together, not merely molecular ad hoc devices. KauffmanVsGould, VsMonod, VsJacob, VsBricolage. We are children of necessity. At home in the universe. Kauffman I 277 Gradualism/KauffmanVsGradualism/Kauffman: funktioniert bei zwei Modellen nicht: 1. maximal verdichtete Rechnerprogramme. Da diese völlig regellos sind, (keine Redundanz) ist die Fehlertoleranz gleich null. Jede Änderung wird das Ergebnis randomisieren. 2. NK-Landschaften: wenn sich die Zahl der Kopplungen K = N 1 annähert, gibt es immer weniger Regelmäßigkeit. |
