Machine metaphors are one of the most successful conceptual tools in biology. But have you ever wondered where these analogies come from? What fundamental assumptions do they rest on?/1 ๐คจ

Next week, I'll finally be posting the first part of a #complexitycat dialectical trilogy about machine metaphors in biology. In chapter one, I'll explore the origins and success of these metaphors, glimpsing their hidden metaphysics. I promise you it will be worth the wait! ๐๐ฏ
Consider a solitary amoeba, a migrating tumor, and a human embryo.
Which one possesses genuine agency? Is biological behavior driven by authentic choices, or are we just watching the inevitable execution of strict genetic programs?/1 ๐ง

How does the leap to multicellularity redefine agency? What the correct experimental and modeling approaches to deal with agency? Delve into the vast tension between physical determinism and evolutionary behavior in the latest #complexitycat essay!/3 โ๏ธ

Next week #complexitycat will review this paper by Newman et al. rethinking how agential behavior shifts from cells to collectives via morphogenetic inherencies & novel enablements. Meanwhile, read our latest review on Krakauer's theory of individuality!๐ฆ

Let's say we compare your microbiome, your brain, and your immune system.
Which one determines your identity? Is your individuality determined by a fixed genetic blueprint, a perceptual narrative, or a fluid microbial ecosystem?/1 ๐ค

Last week's #complexitycat essay explores "The Information Theory of Individuality," a theoretical approach proposed by Krakauer and his colleagues to study how system boundaries, environmental feedback, and levels of distinctiveness are constituted in real time. Check it out! ๐บ

Next week, I'll be commenting another "Theory of Everything" co-authored by SFI folks. Guess which one. ๐ต๏ธ
Meanwhile, check out #complexitycat's latest essay, in which I review an underground 1974 paper by Varela, exploring the second branch stemming from Gรถdel's incompleteness!
Gรถdelโs incompleteness theorems show that in any consistent axiomatic system complex enough to do basic arithmetic, there'll always be true statements that cannot be proven.
What if, instead of avoiding inconsistency, we embrace it?/1๐ค

As we do every month, we bring you a #complexitycat thread packed with all kinds of academic opportunities, updated weekly. ๐คช
Some of them are so good that youโll think weโre playing an April Foolsโ prank on you! ๐
You doubt it? Check them now! ๐๐งต
Embracing self-reference enables algebraic completeness without sacrificing system consistency. By adopting Varela's approach, self-referential systems produce formally defined indeterminate states rather than chaotic, unresolvable paradoxes. Read the latest #complexitycat essay!

Is it possible to conceive of time without self-reference? Can we build new models of computation based on Varelaโs alternative logic? How is this calculus compatible with organizational closure? All this and more in the latest #complexitycat essay!/3 โ๏ธ

No #complexitycat blog this week, as I'm chairing #NERCCS2026! But stay tuned, because next week I'll bring you a review of an underground paper by Varela. In the meantime, read the last chapter of our introductory guide to #ComplexSystems, it is perfect for learning the basics!
As promised, today the last volume of โComplexity Miscellany for Beginnersโ was released!๐ข
And guess what? The central topic of this entry is the concept of #emergence, one of the most polysemic notions in #ComplexSystems science./1๐ฎ

Two weeks ago, we posted the last part of our #complexitycat miscellany! In it, you'll find a compilation of basic terms that every #ComplexSystems explorer knows. ๐ค
But don't worry, everything is explained with simple analogies and easy-to-understand language. Check it out! ๐

Thus, we conclude another #complexitycat trilogy! I hope you enjoyed this didactic detour, and we will soon return to our regular programming, full of underground paper reviews, essays criticizing mainstream narratives, and even a surprise interview!/3 ๐

Next week, #complexitycat will publish the final part of our beginner's guide, a series of essays dedicated to introducing the transdisciplinary world of #ComplexSystems science in simple terms.
In the meantime, we invite you to check out Part II, which you can find below. ๐โโฌ๐
Are you new to #ComplexSystems, #NetworkScience or #ArtificialLife? Part II of our โComplexity Miscellany for Beginnersโ is out today!
From autopoiesis to the edge of chaos, everything with simple analogies and classic examples./1๐ค๐งฉ
