From Logic to Biology via Physics: a survey
Giuseppe Longo, Maël Montévil
This short text summarizes the work in biology proposed in our book, Perspectives on Organisms, where we analyse the unity proper to organisms by looking at it from different viewp…
The Biological Consequences of the Computational World: Mathematical Reflections on Cancer Biology
Giuseppe Longo
The role of continua has been clear since antiquity in the mathematical approaches to physics, while discrete manifolds were brought to the limelight mostly by Quantum and Informat…
No entailing laws, but enablement in the evolution of the biosphere
Giuseppe Longo, Maël Montévil, Stuart Kauffman
Biological evolution is a complex blend of ever changing structural stability, variability and emergence of new phenotypes, niches, ecosystems. We wish to argue that the evolution…
Randomness and Multi-level Interactions in Biology
Marcello Buiatti, Giuseppe Longo
The dynamic instability of the living systems and the "superposition" of different forms of randomness are viewed as a component of the contingently increasing organization of life…
From Physics to Biology by Extending Criticality and Symmetry Breakings
Giuseppe Longo, Maël Montévil
Symmetries play a major role in physics, in particular since the work by E. Noether and H. Weyl in the first half of last century. Herein, we briefly review their role by recalling…
Protention and retention in biological systems
Giuseppe Longo, Maël Montévil
This paper proposes an abstract mathematical frame for describing some features of cognitive and biological time. We focus here on the so called "extended present" as a result of p…
