- how would you define a "machine" broadly speaking?
- is your definition covering a broad spectrum, such as molecular machines, man made machines, computers, etc?
- are you sure that your definition does not lead to defining as "machine" a forest fire or an hurricane?
- which argument would you use to characterize the differences between a molecular machine like kinesin and a mechanical machine like an old watch? Does it work too for a whole cell or the human brain? (at a high level of abstraction, of course)
I have some ideas to share based on universal Turing machines and complexity science, but would like to get more inputs, first.
As usual, I try to bootstrap the discussion by involving a diverse pool of friends and good thinkers: npub1ary93kr00e2m3zwpf4c5mgyctsr0sr80p07aw6xgcc4pw2v2md8qe5md4c (npub1ary…md4c) npub1nt0uum00jlssj32nrs6wd6400wlp67sdx97h66m7lpymdpwjcp9q2fstjf (npub1nt0…stjf) npub1fr4zhq7k9mne3vld9rn5kaa09egfr96l2jy50ne6mf3329ta5nlsxnq2gy (npub1fr4…q2gy) npub1d0pmrc3vq06wyfevw0w2ce7drfdn4vek2m9f8y6fcdusdf89exgs8lun09 (npub1d0p…un09) npub1apgp5hd5ppk03wfes83mp09uxaamatkgxffggn8sackga3w8gaksppf07c (npub1apg…f07c) npub1skvad2l2wrxgdmt6yxk9kt2rjhw5tucjzhf54pktfq2gg0qhgwyqdlaky3 (npub1skv…aky3) npub1crvfcy2fxnq28k8ahykwut2mcmve3m9qrqqz4nzetre0xem3l95qpxvnx3 (npub1crv…vnx3) npub1zlldauz82v9n66z0kvjgs7ygm8fqsyhl7qm72mhzkvlhndcq05lshflhfq (npub1zll…lhfq)
