Foundational Papers on the Relationship Between Living Systems and Information Processing

The Collection we would like to edit is centered around foundational papers on the relationship between living beings and information processing. The volume would have two parts, thus: firstly, a set of papers focused on the problem: how living beings process information. The assumption is that living beings are not any Turing Machine in any sense, and they process information non-algorithmically. The second part is focused on biological hypercomputation. There is not any volume in this direction, as far as we know it. As such, the time lapse of this collection encompasses some time from the 1980s until today. Some of the authors that are to be included are: John Hopfield, Christopher Langton, Dennis Bray, Sydney Brenner, Paul Nurse, Grzegorz Rozenberg, John Mayfield, George Kampis, Gordana Dodic-Crnkovic, Melanie Mitchell, Iron Cohen, and Lila Kari, among others.  We can safely assess that we will have the volume ready sometime around the third quarter of 2025.
