Biology's endless forms arise inevitably from adaptive evolution interacting with computational irreducibility, not from natural selection alone. (opens korrents.com)
“there is a certain theoretically-derivable inevitability to the generation of "endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful". One of the ingredients that's needed is indeed Darwin's idea of natural selection”

Exotic biological forms can arise without an exotic environment or fitness function, as side effects of computational irreducibility. (opens korrents.com)
“exotic forms can actually arise-albeit rarely-without an exotic fitness function, in effect just as examples of "surprises" that can inevitably be created by computational irreducibility.”
-
Biology has computational irreducibility at its core, so biological phenomena depend inevitably on history. (opens korrents.com)
“Ruliobiology-and, I believe, biology-have computational irreducibility at their core. So, for example, whereas in physics one can discuss a phenomenon just as something happening "here and now", in ruliobiology-and…”
