Wim Hordijk, Mike Steel, Stuart Kauffman
This paper presents new results from a detailed study of the structure of autocatalytic sets. We show how autocatalytic sets can be decomposed into smaller autocatalytic subsets, a…

We give a new explanation for why some biological systems can stay quantum coherent for long times at room temperatures, one of the fundamental puzzles of quantum biology. We show…
No entailing laws, but enablement in the evolution of the biosphere
