Exploring the Abstraction of Material Reality

Sara Walker discusses the importance of viewing life and consciousness through the lens of assembly theory, arguing that our understanding of alien life, the origin of life, and consciousness itself could be fundamentally expanded by examining the combinatorial possibilities within chemical and informational spaces on Earth, rather than searching outer space. This presentation was recorded at MindFest, held at Florida Atlantic University, CENTER FOR THE FUTURE MIND, spearheaded by Susan Schneider.
