Again, life computes possibilities in various ways based on past actions, and acts on the basis of these computations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is about a new approach to biology (and physics, of course!). Its subtitle suggests a perpetual movement and interplay between two elusive aspects of modern science — reality\/matter and potentiality\/mind, between physics and biology — both captured and triggered by mathematics — to understand and explain emergence, development and life all the way up to consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what is the real\/potential difference between living and non-living matter? How does time in potentiality differ from time in reality? What we need to understand these differences is an integrative approach. This book contemplates how to encircle life to obtain a formal system, equivalent to the ones in physics. \u003ci\u003eIntegral Biomathics\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to explore the interplay between reality and potentiality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-07-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642281105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-28111-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 432\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47404978339980,"sku":"9783642281105","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642281105.jpg?v=1775818601","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642281105","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
