What is it about?

Biological hypercomputtation is about understanding how living beings process information. They do not process information in terms of a Turing Machine (TM), no matter what. This, we claim, is a brand new reserach progra within the field of complexity science

Why is it important?

By and large, living beings are the most crucial stance in the universe. Yet, little has been said as to why do they matter. Procesing information is a matter of life or death. If so, it is compulsory to take into account that living beigs are what they do - and the best they do is processing information, namely both reading the environment and creating brand new information into the world they create.

Perspectives

Living beings are material stance, yet, they cannot be reduced to matter in the classical sense, either of physics or of computer science. We strive to understand life from a computational standpoint, i.e. how living beings transform the reality they are inmersed in, and at the same time they create themselves.
