信息、程序和信号概念的隐喻性采用将信息的数学理论的逻辑和隐含的因果结构引入了生物学;这对生物学是有害的。反过来,这些隐喻又阻碍了有机体理论的发展,因为它们把有机体的作用转移到自然选择和DNA上。此外,这些隐喻将软件-硬件二元论和拉普拉斯因果结构引入了生物学。相反,我们建议通过采用有机体理论的三个基本原则来维护生物的能动性:即,1)生物惰性原则(即,细胞的默认状态是增殖和运动),2)变异原理,和3)组织原理。
The metaphorical adoption of the concepts of information, program and signal introduced into biology the logic and implicit causal structure of the mathematical theories of information; this is inimical to biology. In turn, those metaphors have hindered the development of a theory of organisms by transferring the agency of organisms to natural selection and to DNA. Moreover, those metaphors introduced into biology the dualism software-hardware and a Laplacian causal structure. Instead, we propose to uphold the agency of the living by adopting three foundational principles for a theory of organisms: namely, 1) the principle of biological inertia (i.e., the default state of cells is proliferation and motility), 2) the principle of variation, and 3) the principle of organization.
