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 of life marks the end of a physics world view of law entailed dynamics. Our considerations depend upon discussing the variability of the very "contexts of life": the interactions between organisms, biological niches and ecosystems. These are ever changing, intrinsically indeterminate and even unprestatable: we do not… Expand

Prolegomenon to patterns in evolution
TLDR
A post-entailing law explanatory framework is proposed in which actuals arise in evolution that constitute new boundary conditions that are enabling constraints that create new, typically unprestatable, adjacent possible opportunities for further evolution, in which new Actuals arise, in a persistent becoming.

SEMIOSIS AND PHASE TRANSITIONS IN BIOLOGY : the Future of Biosemiotics within a Genuinely Evolutionary Conception of the World
Since the days of Darwin and Wallace evolution has been a leading unifying factor in new biological theorizing, along with other key conceptual strands from thermodynamics, genetics and molecular… Expand
From Physics to Semiotics
TLDR
This chapter tries to justify “functions”, whose unprestatable becoming are parts of the ever changing phase space of evolution, hence no entailing laws. Expand
Beyond Reductionism Twice: No Laws Entail Biosphere Evolution, Formal Cause Laws Beyond Efficient Cause Laws
TLDR
This paper proposes to challenge the adequacy of the Newtonian Paradigm on two ground: 1) for the evolution of the biosphere beyond the watershed of life, the authors can formulate no efficient cause entailing laws that allow us to deduce the development of theBiosphere, and 2) formal cause laws appear to be a new way to do science, independent of efficient causeEntailing laws, which may bear on the sufficiency of Materialism in their account of the world.

Semiosis and Phase Transitions in Biology: a Peircean View
Abstract Since the days of Darwin and Wallace, evolution has been a leading unifying factor in biological theorizing, along with other key conceptual strands from thermodynamics, genetics, and… Expand
Extended Criticality, Phase Spaces and Enablement in Biology
TLDR
The hypothesis deeply modifies the tools and concepts used in physical theorizing, when adapted to biology, and argues that causality has to be understood di erently, and discusses two notions to do so: causality and enablement. Expand
How Future Depends on Past and Rare Events in Systems of Life
The dependence on history of both present and future dynamics of life is a common intuition in biology and in humanities. Historicity will be understood in terms of changes of the space of… Expand
Niche emergence as an autocatalytic process in the evolution of ecosystems.
TLDR
The argument that new species create new niches, and that biodiversity is therefore an autocatalytic process is elaborate on, and it is proposed that niche emergence, rather than niche partitioning, is what mostly drives ecological diversity. Expand
The Ecological Niche: History and Recent Controversies
TLDR
In this chapter, the history of the concept of ecological niche is traced and it is seen how its meanings varied with the search for a theory of ecology. Expand
Randomness and multilevel interactions in biology
TLDR
Biological randomness is presented not only as an essential component of the heterogeneous determination and intrinsic unpredictability proper to life phenomena, due to the nesting of, and interaction between many levels of organization, but also as a key component of its structural stability.

Randomness and Multi-level Interactions in Biology
TLDR
Biological randomness is presented as an essential component of the heterogeneous determination and intrinsic unpredictability proper to life phenomena, due to the nesting and interaction of many levels of organization. Expand
EXTENDED CRITICAL SITUATIONS: THE PHYSICAL SINGULARITY OF LIFE PHENOMENA
In this paper, we propose to consider living systems as "coherent critical structures," though extended in space and time, their unity being ensured through global causal relations between levels of… Expand
From physics to biology by extending criticality and symmetry breakings.
TLDR
It is posited that the dynamics of biological organisms, in their various levels of organization, are not "just" processes, but permanent (extended, in the authors' terminology) critical transitions and, thus, symmetry changes, and that variability is at the core of these transitions. Expand
Gene expression dynamics in the macrophage exhibit criticality
TLDR
Using global gene expression data from macrophages stimulated with a variety of Toll-like receptor agonists, it is found that macrophage dynamics are indeed critical, providing the most compelling evidence to date for this general principle of dynamics in biological systems. Expand
Are Biological Systems Poised at Criticality?
TLDR
This work reviews the surprising successes of this “inverse” approach to statistical mechanics models of biological systems directly from real data, using examples from families of proteins, networks of neurons, and flocks of birds. Expand
Stepwise formation of the bacterial flagellar system
TLDR
These results show that core components of the bacterial flagellum originated through the successive duplication and modification of a few, or perhaps even a single, precursor gene. Expand

Evidence for wavelike energy transfer through quantum coherence in photosynthetic systems
TLDR
Previous two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy investigations of the FMO bacteriochlorophyll complex are extended, and direct evidence is obtained for remarkably long-lived electronic quantum coherence playing an important part in energy transfer processes within this system is obtained. Expand
Percolation and criticality in a mitochondrial network.
TLDR
Percolation theory is applied to explain the mechanism of intermitochondrial signal propagation in response to oxidative stress and the scaling and fractal properties of the mitochondrial network at the edge of instability agree remarkably well with the idea that mitochondria are organized as a percolation matrix.
