    The Information Theory of Life
    The polymath Christoph Adami is investigating life’s origins by reimagining living things as self-perpetuating information strings.
    https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-information-theory-of-life-20151119/

    ...
    In the following interview, Adami defines information as “the ability to make predictions with a likelihood better than chance,” and he says we should think of the human genome — or the genome of any organism — as a repository of information about the world gathered in small bits over time through the process of evolution. The repository includes information on everything we could possibly need to know, such as how to convert sugar into energy, how to evade a predator on the savannah, and, most critically for evolution, how to reproduce or self-replicate. This reconceptualization doesn’t by itself resolve the issue of how life got started, but it does provide a framework in which we can start to calculate the odds of life developing in the first place.
    ...
    Life is information stored in a symbolic language. It’s self-referential, which is necessary because any piece of information is rare, and the only way you make it stop being rare is by copying the sequence with instructions given within the sequence. The secret of all life is that through the copying process, we take something that is extraordinarily rare and make it extraordinarily abundant.

    Human Brain-Like Functions Emerge in Neuromorphic Metallic Nanowire Network
    https://scitechdaily.com/...ain-like-functions-emerge-in-neuromorphic-metallic-nanowire-network/amp/

    An international joint research team led by NIMS succeeded in fabricating a neuromorphic network composed of numerous metallic nanowires. Using this network, the team was able to generate electrical characteristics similar to those associated with higher-order brain functions unique to humans, such as memorization, learning, forgetting, becoming alert and returning to calm. The team then clarified the mechanisms that induced these electrical characteristics

    ...

    approach to brain research—in which materials and systems capable of performing brain-like functions are created and their mechanisms are investigated—may be effective in identifying new applications of brain-like information processing and advancing brain science.

    ...

    The joint research team recently built a complex brain-like network by integrating numerous silver (Ag) nanowires coated with a polymer (PVP) insulating layer approximately 1 nanometer in thickness. A junction between two nanowires forms a variable resistive element (i.e., a synaptic element) that behaves like a neuronal synapse. This nanowire network, which contains a large number of intricately interacting synaptic elements, forms a “neuromorphic network.” When a voltage was applied to the neuromorphic network, it appeared to “struggle” to find optimal current pathways (i.e., the most electrically efficient pathways). The research team measured the processes of current pathway formation, retention and deactivation while electric current was flowing through the network and found that these processes always fluctuate as they progress, similar to the human brain’s memorization, learning, and forgetting processes. The observed temporal fluctuations also resemble the processes by which the brain becomes alert or returns to calm. Brain-like functions simulated by the neuromorphic network were found to occur as the huge number of synaptic elements in the network collectively work to optimize current transport, in the other words, as a result of self-organized and emerging dynamic processes.

    The research team is currently developing a brain-like memory device using the neuromorphic network material. The team intends to design the memory device to operate using fundamentally different principles than those used in current computers. For example, while computers are currently designed to spend as much time and electricity as necessary in pursuit of absolutely optimum solutions, the new memory device is intended to make a quick decision within particular limits even though the solution generated may not be absolutely optimum. The team also hopes that this research will facilitate understanding of the brain’s information processing mechanisms

    Inter-plant communication through mycorrhizal networks mediates complex adaptive behaviour in plant communities
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4497361/

    MNs influence the survival, growth, physiology, health, competitive ability and behaviour of the plants and fungi linked in the network. How the MN affects the member plants and fungi is increasingly understood to involve plant–fungal–plant communication, and may involve biochemical signalling (Song et al. 2010; Babikova et al. 2013), resource transfers (Francis and Read 1984; Simard et al. 1997a, b; He et al. 2009; Teste et al. 2009) or action-potential-driven electrical signals (Baluŝka et al. 2006; Kai et al. 2009). The responses of the plants and fungi to this communication are rapid, and thus can be described as behavioural responses, allowing us to refocus our understanding of the significance of MNs through the lens of plant behaviour

    Plants are able to perform photosynthesis and cannot escape from environmental stresses, so they therefore developed sophisticated, highly responsive and dynamic physiology. Others' and our results indicate that plants solve their optimal light acclimation and immune defenses, photosynthesis and transpiration by a computational algorithm of the cellular automation. Our recent results however suggest that plants are capable of processing information encrypted in light intensity and in its energy. With the help of nonphotochemical quenching and photoelectrophysiological signaling (PEPS) plants are able to perform biological quantum computation and memorize light training in order to optimize their Darwinian fitness. Animals have their network of neuron synapses, electrophysiological circuits and memory, but plants have their network of chloroplasts connected by stromules, PEPS circuits transduced by bundle sheath cells and cellular light memory. It is suggested that plants could be intelligent organisms with much higher organism organization levels than it was thought before.

    One of the most critical functions of each organism is a selective sensing of the environment. Ordered flow of electrical currents between cells and organs allows a given organism for universal, rapid, and efficient communication of the external changes. The steady state of plasma membrane electrical potential defines the electric field of each cell. However, external factors induce rapid changes in the membrane potential, and these changes can be transduced in the form of waves: (1) the movement of ions across of plasma membrane and organelle membranes is a driving mechanism for wavy changes of the electric potential, which propagate along the membrane of one cell or organelle, and in turn, determine intracellular electrical activity of the cell and adjust its local metabolism; (2) the short-distance intercellular electrical signaling to maintain specific behavior of the group of the cells; and (3) the long-distance intercellular electrical signal from the site of stimulus perception to distal organs, where it triggers plant-wide responses.

    Despite specific differences, the network of electrical signaling is present at almost each level of complexity, from unicellular bacteria and fungi to multi-cellular organisms like plants and animals. In unicellular organisms, cell-to-cell electrical signaling plays a key role in the reproduction and coordination of colony behavior. For example, bacteria Bacillus subtilis generates electrical signals mediated by potassium ion channels to direct motility in a biofilm of their own community, to stop reproducing bacteria on colony periphery, and to leave core cells with a sufficient nutrient supply (Humphries et al., 2017). A polarization and dynamic coordination of the electrical signals underlies also the ability of plant cell groups to proliferation, proper morphogenesis, regeneration and orientation (Filek et al., 2002; Yan et al., 2009; Nakajima et al., 2015). Similarly, the bioelectric network of each cell and the bioelectric gradients serve as a kind of pattern memory of animal tissues and organs (Durant et al., 2017). The environmental signals, physical (e.g., light, temperature, humidity, electric fields, wounding), chemical (e.g., nutrients and various substances), and biological (e.g., symbiosis, pathogenesis), can alter local and systemic electrical responses and modify cell division and growth. However, once the connectivity patterns of electrical signaling are disrupted, organisms can no longer follow appropriate morphogenetic and functional pathways (Szechyńska-Hebda et al., 2010; Karpiński et al., 2013; Nakajima et al., 2015).

    Probably the most spectacular system involving electrical signaling is the organism-to-organism signaling. Among unicellular bacteria, electrical communication enables cross-species interactions. Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells become attracted to the electrical signal released by the B. subtilis biofilm (Humphries et al., 2017). In the plant kingdom, the role of electrical signals in organism-to-organism interactions is still highly speculative and largely phenomenological, but there are several pioneering examples of how plant creates and responds to electrical fields. Flowers exhibit differences in the pattern of the electric field, which can be discriminated by bumblebees. When the bumblebee lands on the flower, the electric field changes within seconds and this facilitates rapid and dynamic signaling between flowers and their pollinators (Clarke et al., 2013). Arabidopsis thaliana respond to biotic stress agents: Spodoptera littoralis, Myzus persicae, Pseudomonas syringae with plasma membrane depolarization and it was correlated to specific regulation of the wide range of defense genes (Bricchi et al., 2012). Similarly, transition zone of the roots is an area with unusually high levels of electrical activity (Baluška, 2010; Baluška and Mancuso, 2013), and it makes the root apex zone an attractive target of pathogenic and symbiotic organisms (Brenner et al., 2006). There is also the possibility that electric field generated by each growing root might allow electrical signaling among roots of the same or another plant (Schenk and Seabloom, 2010; Garzon and Keijzer, 2011). However, the most extremal example among multicellular organisms, is the usage of electric organs by fish in murky environment to navigate, recognize the species and sex, and as a shocking defense (Gallant et al., 2014). The electric field generated for predatory purposes is up to 500 V or higher
