FUTURATI PODCAST

INSIGHT

Organisms vs. Machines

  • Organisms self-manufacture, creating and assembling their components, unlike current machines built by external processes.
  • This self-manufacture involves circular causality across different scales, where processes construct each other, going beyond simple feedback loops.
  • Organisms and their evolution actively avoid halting problems, contrasting with computational processes.
  • Embodiment is crucial, as organisms' hardware and software are deeply intertwined, unlike von Neumann machines with their strict separation designed for diverse algorithms.
