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…
Modeling mammary organogenesis from biological first principles: Cells and their physical constraints
Maël Montévil, Lucia Speroni, Carlos Sonnenschein +1
In multicellular organisms, relations among parts and between parts and the whole are contextual and interdependent. These organisms and their cells are ontogenetically linked: an…
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…
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…
A 2-dimensional Geometry for Biological Time
Francis Bailly, Giuseppe Longo, Maël Montévil
This paper proposes an abstract mathematical frame for describing some features of biological time. The key point is that usual physical (linear) representation of time is insuffic…
