In your statement, based on your understanding, do you think either of the following wording substitutions are accurate?
Instead of:
> how insanely chaotic a cell is
Perhaps:
"how insanely high a cell's spatial and temporal entropy is"
?
And instead of:
> denoising the chaos.
Perhaps:
> decompressing (interpreting) the spatio-temporal activity
?
- tlb 8y agoIf you put cells in a blender, their entropy goes up. And a crystal has lower entropy. So what’s interesting about them isn’t that their level of entropy is high or low.
- Ultimatt 8y agoIt sort of is related to being in between though. It's that their complexity is high. Which is essentially at the phase transition between high and low entropy states of matter. Cells regulate a system full of energy to keep themselves in that messy but information rich state.
