[ExI] Entropy, life and intelligence

[Bill Hibbard]

In the past I've posted these links:

https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0910/0910.2621.pdf
http://www.helsinki.fi/~aannila/arto/natprocess.pdf

to the work of Arto Annila about the relation
between entropy and life (and hence intelligence).

Here is some recent work by Jeremy England:

Spontaneous fine-tuning to environment in
many-species chemical reaction networks

Self-Organized Resonance during Search of a Diverse

can drive chemical systems to non-equilibrium states.
