I thought I'd post a paper that i stumbled across recently as it seems highly relevant to Dawinbots.
It is about biology/life (albeit vaguely), which is why i posted it here. it is about some fairly technical ideas which are hard to wrap your mind around, but well worth reading. at least read the introduction.
It's a pdf. and isn't just some crackpot's dilusional theory. It's along the same lines of 'What is life', the book, if you've heard of it.
anyway enjoy and discuss if you like.
