Anticipatory dynamics of biological systems: from molecular quantum states to evolution

“…The inherent anticipatory aspect is built in their organization. Anticipation is usually connected with impredicativity (Nadin 2010). It puts restrictions on computability; therefore, the models that include anticipation must have a noncomputable constituent.…”

The anticipatory profile. An attempt to describe anticipation as process

“…This is not the place to present Rosen's monumental work in detail. So far, science has not been very kind to his legacy; nevertheless, his work deserves our utmost attention (Nadin 2010a). In these few notes, I shall refer less to his works on defining life and more to the intricate questions raised in Fundamentals of Measurement and Representation of Natural Systems (Rosen 1978) -unfortunately, ignored even by those active in the scholarship of measurement.…”

From Systems to Organisations

“…Organisation fluctuations distort perceptions, destabilises and fluidises imprints and models, perturbing interpretations. The organisation perspective thus support investigations about the role of imprecision, fuzziness, adaptation, anticipation, emotion and moods in adaptation, learning and cognition [115,[146][147][148] during transfer of information at any scale and encompasses all three Shannon-Weaver levels [112].…”

“…Instead, it describes how to recognise that a signal is in-formation-through changes provoked by the signal in an organisation whose behaviour changes with respect to what was anticipated [8,115] with respect to it-suggesting a procedure to observe it. This is somewhat analogous to energy which is a property attached to configurations in fields and can only be observed indirectly, through its effects in the components of a P-phenomenon.…”
