ABSTRACT / INHALTSTEXT
COMMUNICATION, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF LIFE, OCCURS AT
ANY SPATIAL SCALE FROM THE MOLECULAR ONE UP TO THAT OF POPULATIONS AND
ECOSYSTEMS, AND ANY TIME SCALE FROM THAT OF FAST CHEMICAL REACTIONS UP
TO THAT OF GEOLOGICAL AGES. INFORMATION THEORY, A MATHEMATICAL SCIENCE
OF COMMUNICATION INITIATED BY SHANNON IN 1948, HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL
IN ENGINEERING, BUT BIOLOGISTS IGNORE IT. THIS BOOK AIMS AT BRIDGING
THIS GAP. IT PROPOSES AN ABSTRACT DEFINITION OF INFORMATION BASED ON THE
ENGINEERS EXPERIENCE WHICH MAKES IT USABLE IN LIFE SCIENCES. IT
EXPOUNDS INFORMATION THEORY AND ERROR-CORRECTING CODES, ITS BY-PRODUCTS,
AS SIMPLY AS POSSIBLE. THEN, THE FUNDAMENTAL BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM OF
HEREDITY IS EXAMINED. IT IS SHOWN THAT BIOLOGY DOES NOT ADEQUATELY
ACCOUNT FOR THE CONSERVATION OF GENOMES DURING GEOLOGICAL AGES, WHICH
CAN BE UNDERSTOOD ONLY IF IT IS ASSUMED THAT GENOMES ARE MADE RESILIENT
TO CASUAL ERRORS BY PROPER CODING. MOREOVER, THE GOOD CONSERVATION OF
VERY OLD PARTS OF GENOMES, LIKE THE /HOX/ GENES, IMPLIES THAT THE
ASSUMED GENOMIC CODES HAVE A NESTED STRUCTURE WHICH MAKES AN INFORMATION
THE MORE RESILIENT TO ERRORS, THE OLDER IT IS. THE CONSEQUENCES THAT
INFORMATION THEORY DRAWS FROM THESE HYPOTHESES MEET VERY BASIC BUT YET
UNEXPLAINED BIOLOGICAL FACTS, E.G., THE EXISTENCE OF SUCCESSIVE
GENERATIONS, THAT OF DISCRETE SPECIES AND THE TREND OF EVOLUTION TOWARDS
COMPLEXITY. BEING NECESSARILY INSCRIBED ON PHYSICAL MEDIA, INFORMATION
APPEARS AS A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ABSTRACT AND THE CONCRETE. RECORDING,
COMMUNICATING AND USING INFORMATION EXCLUSIVELY OCCUR IN THE LIVING
WORLD. INFORMATION IS THUS COEXTENSIVE WITH LIFE AND DELINEATES THE
BORDER BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE INANIMATE
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
