| The Stanley Miller experiment suggests that amino acid-based life is ubiquitous in our universe, although its varieties are not likely to have followed the particular, highly contingent and path-dependent, trajectory found on Earth. Are many of these life forms likely to be conscious in ways that we would recognize? Almost certainly. Will many conscious entities develop high order technology? Less likely. If so, will we be able to communicate with them? Only on a basic level, and only with profound difficulty. The argument is straightforward. |

| Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDP) appear far more likely to engage in functional moonlighting than well-structured proteins. The recent use of nonrigid molecule theory to address IDP structure and dynamics produces this result directly: Mirror image subgroup or subgroupoid tiling matching of the molecular fuzzy lock-and-key can be much richer for IDPs since the number of possible group or groupoid symmetries can grow exponentially with molecule length, while tiling matching for 3D structured proteins is relatively limited. A simple information catalysis model suggests how this mechanism can produce a vast spectrum of biological 'logic gates' having subtle properties far beyond familiar AND, OR, XOR, etc. behaviors. Inferring the... |
