Abstract
The Origin of Information and Value Selection: Investigate the Laws of the Generation of Living System
Highlights
The value selection of information and its threshold-relationship are the basic principles of the origins of life and information
In order to investigate the origin of biological information and life, and reveal the mechanism of how biological macromolecules emerge from non-living to living, Eigen defines nucleic acid as information and protein as function
How to provide a unified mathematical expression? Beginning with the phenomenological rate equations of the generation and transformation of quasi-species (准种,molecular-species), Eigen drives a selection advantage parameter expressed by molecular terms as selective value
Summary
The Origin of Information and Value Selection: Investigate the Laws of the Generation of Living System. Based on scientific experiments, Manfred Eigen raises selective value as the quantitative evaluation of the evolutionary level of information through unified mathematical expression and verifies that the ultimate foundation of natural evolution is value selection It reveals the dialectic relationship between creation and stability in the process of system evolution, and shows the possibility and limitation of the evolution of information. These works provide important scientific foundation and inspiring philosophical insights for us to investigate the laws of the generation of living system, and objectively evaluate the potentiality and level of system evolution
