If the information comes from beyond DNA, where does it come from? How do the cells know what voltages they should have? And how is it transmitted from one generation to another?
Operationally ok. Philosophically this is nonsense. As soon as you talk about an "adaptive system" you have baked-in emergence by postulate. This is common in all talk about emergence, it is all circular upon close inspection. If there is effective Top Down causation there is only one way it can occur compatible with all known physics (which are CPT symmetric), which is at the spacetime boundaries. Initial/boundary conditions are the _only way_ CPT symmetry gets broken. BTW, that's not an argument against top-down causation. It is an argument in favour, but points to the proper origins of "mental" causes.
This a dozen years old science of mankind scale importance. How is that it is still unknown to the public and not yet teached from primary school up to high school ?!?
Is that cancer is a bioelectrical disorder at cellular level ? This would be the worst nightmare of BigPharma and old school cancer cure institutions...

The purpose of the interlocuter is to represent the audience, to help by asking possible questions which might be asked by a naive audience, in case the speakers use technical jargon.
increíble y amena reflexión, me encantaría ver más contenido de Luis Cortés Briñol; saludos desde Ciudad de México ♡
So what part of the cell has intelligence? Where is the brain in a cell?
That's a great question! There are many ways to answer, one is to say it is in the structure as a whole.
Don’t forget Rupert Sheldrake, a courageous pioneer, going beyond the random selection model.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Sounds is terrible 😢
Have you written books or research papers on these ideas? I’d like to read them
Thanks for your comment! Here are some publications: www.drmichaellevin.org/publications/sciforpublic.html

Is it fair to presume that computers proving new theorems on their own is as probable as AGI?
How far back does cell memory go? It begs the question whether time/evolution is relevant anymore while a language of bio electric signals may be pre-biotic? Thank you , yours sincerely Dr Fluffhead.
That's a very good question. Perhaps you'd like to come join our community and discuss there: semf.org.es/participate/join.htm

We are the transmuted bioplasma of the living cell that is the Universe that spun itself into the dynamic cocoon of its ideal natural form yet to complete its initial phase of development suffering the brunt of the toxicities of entropy calibrating itself accordingly sustaining its life as much as possible functioning at maximum efficiency against agents that resist it futilely, it has been an ever-present body that consciously instantly generated by its very nature traversing its established inherent memorial path being that of least resistance of its very aspects, its purpose to spawn building a nest to attract a mating partner pacing itself biorhythmically towards its destined goal having exotic qualities suggesting that it will become a perpetually generating paradise after all activities that are practiced that try to stunt its growth are eliminated being degenerate acts of infertility so ultimately will be successful being most fecund not firing a dud!
When i was a kid i taught myself extreme dexterity by training my hand eye coordination. I remember becoming incredibly frustrated that I couldnt draw a foot front-on without it looking like a stump...nor could the ancient Egyptians so feet were drawn side on. I had to overcome a basic mental image barrier. I did this by forgetting I was looking at a foot and just discerning the fine 3D shadings which my sight would then measure relative to each other, then copy them with pencil onto 2D. Gradually the drawing took on a front view 3D foot. With practice a basic map of it was then logged in my memory for easy rendering. Do cells have some kind of eyeless vision judging shapes shades and distances in order to repair or build a new function?
That seems like a good analogy. Certainly relevant for a better understanding, thanks for the comment!
The concept of the "Continuum of Beings" highlights the idea that all intelligence, from the simplest microorganisms to complex human societies, can be understood as a form of collective intelligence. This perspective shifts our understanding of intelligence away from an individual-centric view, recognizing that intelligence emerges not just from solitary entities but through interconnected networks of interactions and cooperation. In nature, we see this collective intelligence in action: ant colonies, for instance, operate as a single organism, solving problems and adapting to challenges through the collective efforts of their members. Similarly, neural networks in the brain exemplify how individual neurons work together to create consciousness, memory, and learning. In human societies, collaboration and shared knowledge drive innovation, allowing us to tackle complex issues that no individual could solve alone. Expanding this idea across the continuum of beings invites us to appreciate the interconnectedness of all life. From the microbial communities that influence our health to the ecosystems that sustain our planet, each level of existence contributes to a greater tapestry of intelligence and adaptability. This holistic view encourages us to rethink our approach to knowledge, decision-making, and sustainability, recognizing that fostering collective intelligence both within and between species-could lead to more resilient and harmonious interactions with our environment. Ultimately, acknowledging that all intelligence is collective fosters a deeper appreciation for the diverse forms of life on Earth and the intricate relationships that bind us together in this grand continuum.
Bioelectricity and quantum biology represent two converging frontiers that challenge our understanding of life's most fundamental processes. Bioelectricity, the flow of electrical signals across cells and tissues, has long been recognized as a key player in development, regeneration, and cellular communication. However, when viewed through the lens of quantum biology, a deeper, more intricate picture emerges. At the quantum level, particles like electrons behave in ways that defy classical expectations, existing in superposition, entangling across distances, and tunneling through barriers. These quantum effects may play a significant role in how bioelectric signals are generated, transmitted, and interpreted by living cells. For instance, ion channels in cell membranes, which regulate the flow of charged particles, might be influenced by quantum tunneling, allowing ions to pass through in ways that classical physics cannot fully explain. This suggests that bioelectricity is not just a simple transfer of charge but a dynamic, quantum-influenced process that could enable cells to communicate and adapt with incredible sensitivity and precision. The intersection of bioelectricity and quantum biology opens up fascinating possibilities, suggesting that life itself operates at the edge of quantum phenomena. This could help explain how organisms achieve remarkable feats of coordination, regeneration, and even consciousness. By exploring this quantum-bioelectric connection, we may unlock new pathways for regenerative medicine, understand the true nature of cellular intelligence, and reveal the profound mysteries of life’s energy and organization.
Biological information extends far beyond the genetic code, and bioelectricity stands out as a powerful, yet often overlooked, medium through which life organizes and communicates. While genes provide the instructions for building proteins, it’s the bioelectric signals (tiny electrical currents generated by cells) that act as the conductor, orchestrating the symphony of cellular behavior, tissue formation, and regeneration. Bioelectricity operates like an invisible blueprint, guiding cells on where to grow, how to differentiate, and when to heal. It plays a crucial role in everything from embryonic development to wound healing, demonstrating that cells are not just passive responders to genetic instructions but active participants in an electrically charged dialogue. Recent breakthroughs have shown that by modulating bioelectric signals, scientists can influence how tissues develop, repair, and even transform into entirely new structures without altering the DNA itself. This opens up a revolutionary perspective: our biological potential isn’t solely locked within our genes but is also encoded in the electrical patterns that flow through us. Understanding and harnessing this bioelectric language could pave the way for advances in regenerative medicine, synthetic biology, and even the treatment of diseases, as we learn to tap into the electrical currents that power the very essence of life.
hahahahahahahahah, this guy is hilarious @32:41 . Man, it looks like he could use some peace of mind
Some light-heartedness is always welcome :)
My god i finally know where frank Herbert in his dune series got his name for Axlotl tanks 😂 The Greeks knew so much making machines 2,000 years ago. They made the antikythera mechanism a mechanical computer 2,000 years before the first one we made
At the time 41:35 Dmitri start to say about closed paths in Cohn's tonnetz(torus). After one example we can hear its tonal uncertainty. Next, professor say its path is homotopy trivial. But in the Cohn's tonnetz its, probably, a small circle. Small circles are not contractible loops, in other words - isn't trivial. Maybe, Dmitri propose a topological space model of musical structure where each "tonal inert" loop sequence of chords(or notes?) is homotopy trivial. And this is a definition or one of them. So, we can use it to create the space from pure data. All we needed is good characteristic for these loops and appropriate amount of data(may be a lot). In my opinion they can feel contractible parts of space, we search for. We can use theorys of orders and simplicial complexes, like in this paper about topology of poker: arxiv.org/abs/2305.02023
Thanks for the very detailed comment and reference!
It's only a matter of time when big pharma swoops in takes all that research slaps a patent on it makes it unaffordable for the average person don't get your hopes up people
It's just a matter of time when big pharma swoops in takes all that research puts a patent on it jacks up the price out of reach for the average person
Truly amazing.
It really is! Michael's work is very inspiring.
@@SEMF I am currently listening to / reading as much of it as I can. Love the channel and work you guys do, from what little I've seen now, btw.

There is no such thing as objective truth
51:00 Numbers are quantical
Bold claims...
Well, a rudimentary computational reactive system integrated In cellular tissues definitely sounds like a practical adaptation. But it seems the planarian example is an extreme example, where a single human neuron or immune cell are indeed conscious and reactive, even communicating to one another like a regulatory organization would situations as codes for policies-- this sort of adaptation is much more fascinating.
The Anatomical compiler concept is exactly what I've been working to implement into my own scifi writing of a story based on what society would become if that turned into a mainstream science. I'd predicted it'd create a new technological revolution, of war, medicine, and aesthetic surgery. I predict it'll start medical, then go to military, then the upper 1%, then slowly trickle down into consumer products like custom biology foods.
This is an extremely interesting line of thinking. Would you like to share your ideas with our community? You can join here in a couple of clicks: semf.org.es/participate/join.html

As a person with discalcula the first hypothesis definitely does not match my experience. I can't depend on basic math in my head, but I am extremely good with logic, advanced maths and make my living as a programmer. Weirdly, I am also very good at non symbolic math, like in baking.
That's fascinating. Interesting case study perhaps?
41:55 - Now THAT is a question! ^.^
We are still working on it...
can't wait to watch !
Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
48:35 - Groovy! ^.^
Definitely!
They know the final goal.. so every single cell knows and they are able to transmit data to each other simultaneously because they are the potential ” goal “
That is a good intuition!
🤩🥰😍🥰😍
I agree! He’s got a Nobel prize waiting for him
Very possibly!
Mind blown. Where does aging fit into this? Why isn't this main stream? As a lay person who reads a lot, I never heard of this until a sci fi author mentioned at the end what he used for research.
We are helping spread the word - it really is mind blowing research!
Good to know there are other writers thinking on this concept. Mine's going by the name "Sacred Circuitry" off the unified theory here that biology is just naturally occurring protein nanotechnology.
As I was listening to the idea of evolving random digits, it is akin to the random fluctuations in Quantum Field Theory, which gives rise to the notion of quantum particles. Maybe numbers are in fact those very particles arising from the number field. This could explain the fine structure constant which is close to 1/137, a dimensionless number. How nice! Just an intuition:-) It would be interesting to develop Gisin's work in the domain of P-adic number fields, which could do away with the need to have a decimal point altogether.
Ingeresting intuition, particles could be indeed related to some fundamental numerosity. How do you imagine it being articulated?
Fascinating work, I think I will need to listen to this a few times. We haven't been able to produce reliable self driving cars yet, but we may be able to grow back our limbs and organs soon.
Not that far out!
One of the golden channels of the internet, lots of positive comments below and above me, and it is well deserved. A quantum leap, I suggest binging more of Levin, Donald Hoffman, and then going into the deepest end, Michael Singer, Krishamurti, Osho. Deep science in any topic, quanta, embryosis, etc. always seems to esoteric realisations of the self which aforementioned will give a great grip of. At the "end", one realizes there was no start or end, there is no single "one" anyways, nobody to actually realize, but for the sake of the psychological ego one realizes that he is part of an collective unconsciousness that can't know, every question leads to another, but enjoys the discovery of unfolding itself and playing. Realizing everything was always more than what was deserved.
Thanks so much for your kind comment! We are glad to provide this kind of content to the masses!
Part way through the video here: The photo of Alan Turing (22:42) gave me chills, he looks exactly like Jeffrey Dahmer's mug shot (especially the eyes). Seeing as reincarnation is not too far a stretch of a concept from the bounds of this video topic, I couldn't help but express the shock at finding that Jeffrey was born 6 yrs after Turins death (suicide), and that both were genius level men with sexual proclivities that got them both into trouble with the law. Jeffrey took serial killing to a horrific level, and Turin fathered modern computational sciences. If this vaguely established connection is even remotely true I guess not all lives lead successionally to greater enlightenment. Anyway back to the video.
Delightful. Thank you Michael.
Thank you for your comment!
At the end, Professor Krakauer mentioned a paper he was writing that wasn't published at the time. Is it available now? I'm curious about its content but haven't been able to locate it.
We are not aware of that paper, unfortunately.
