The operator hierarchy, a chain of closures linking matter, life
... series of closure steps can now be recognised in the emergence of increasingly complex particles and organisms in the universe. The proton, the atom, the molecule, the cell (prokaryotic and eukaryotic), the multicellular organism and the animal are examples of increasingly complex closed systems. Ev ...

Given this, it would useful for the two communities to know each other better. a) Goal of Artificial Life Life is interconnected web of adaptive systems produce ...
