Dear Gerry and Steve,
Since I can read messages from the list but not send ( they are automatically rejected)
I send the attached papers directly to you. Feel free to send them to the rest of the group.
Based on my observations on bacterial colonies I published a new picture of the creative genome in which I explained that based on rational arguments it has to be able to perform information processing, learn from experiments and even change itself accordingly.
During last two years there are new direct experimental evidences that support the picture. 
The community is willing to accept these ideas to the extend that I was invited to give a lecture at
a Nobel symposium meeting.

in short, yes the genome does think. But only if in the genome you include not only the sequence but the entire gestalt (enzymes proteins etc).

All the best, Eshel
