Mind-Body Solution with Dr Tevin Naidu · Terrence Deacon & Michael Levin: What is Life? Complexity, Cognition & the Origin of Purpose · 9 May 2025 podcast

Oh, because the BMP, you know, uh molecules.

Well, that that some of these causes are not like that at all.

They're like a completely different class of things.

And what's really critical for us now is because we try to drive a lot of these things into very practical um programs in regenerative medicine and in bioengineering and and so on, is to how to take advantage of these things.

So I, you know, we we would

Like to know.

uh as we look for causes that are beyond physics and history are the things that biologists love as as causes, but then as we as we see there are these other things.

And um being able to exploit those and exploit that space of uh of of these of of these uh patterns that that can be used for both for for our construction and can help us communicate our goals to cells and tissues in regenerative contexts.

So so yeah yeah

Yeah, constraints and and and various other things that are like them.

Yeah.

So so super, super important.

This this compression-decompression thing very is is is critical because um one of the uh kind of meta-constraints that biology has is that the substrate is unreliable.

In other words, on a large scale, you're guaranteed you're gonna be mutated on a small scale.

You don't know how many copies of your proteins you have, that things are being degraded.

And that's that's quite different than all of the computational architectures we make now, where you work very hard to have abstraction layers where if you work at a high-level language, you don't worry about your your you know a copper of and your your your registers floating off and so on.

And so so I think one of the implications of that.

If if uh and we've done a lot of simulations on this now, that evolving over an unreliable medium.

So so there's two components that that that I'm really interested in.
