Abstract
Biological knowledge of the digital age is in a state of revolutionary transformations. It is becoming multidisciplinary, technoscientific, synergistically included in a global process of convergence of scientific knowledge and technologies: nano, bio, cogno, info. Advances in life sciences transform economies and societies, help to tackle global challenges from climate change to pandemics. At the same time, none of the biotechnologies would be possible without information technology. New technological possibilities have led mankind to a post-digital neuromorphic science, where biology as digital information and digitalization as biology are now synergistically interconnected. At the same time, bio-digitalization is closely related to bio-informatics. Both disciplines involve recursive-communicative interaction between the information approach and biology, which, in turn, launches the process of biodigital convergence, generating a net-like knowledge ecosystem that allows solving those complex problems that cannot be solved by separate disciplines. This process generates new, interconnected, ecological niches – umwelts of knowledge. So that, biosemiotics is a “bridge” between techno-scientific and socio-humanitarian knowledge. This is a special lens which helps us to observe living things contacting robotics, and the environment. Plantoids are given as an example.
