He could saved all that time just saying: “living things operate where change for usefulness is easiest”.... u put a water tower on top of the hill. I would say “phase transition”- at least its relevant to chemistry and physics... but I’m no expert of the term “criticality”.
@@davidkincade7161 That's _not_ what criticality means in this context, and he didn't make up this definition of the term. Criticality describes a system which is not in a state of chaos but very nearly chaotic. I agree he's a horrible communicator but one of the few things he does explain reasonably well is what he means by "criticality". This was just a very poor choice of interview subject for this type of show. Listening to this guy is like attending a graduate level network theory class for the first time one week before the end of the semester. He might as well have been speaking Greek.
@@b.g.5869 I was too harsh- I’ll change some of that- thanks for the heads up. As to “criticality” my bad, but I do think “phase transition” is more correct in biology since even DNA operates within the laws of physics and Chemistry and not just anything can happen. JMO of course. Thanks again :-)
@@b.g.5869 However difficult he is to follow, it was useful to me to follow his thinking through, and he did make a powerful point about what possibilities there are about how this stuff could work at a fundamental level.
What the fuck are you even saying? You need to structure you’re question better; that’s probably why nobody has responded to you. Information is INTERPRETED.
He not has concise prove in his abstract model. Why his model evolution link dna since ancient time? Why? How it works. Abstract not sense speculations.
Yup, intelligent things operate near phase transition (criticality- what ever)... saves energy- allows more flexibility, efficiency, and possibilities going forward. “Intended Evolution”. All of technology operates this way- things built intelligently... cells are smart - they also do this .
Ummm... near “phase transition” (criticality)... think of a rock at the very top of a hill.. a small push in a given digestion .... pretty smart right? Critically shows there is intelligence involved and flexibility is needed... Need to turn on and off depending on environmental change. Maybe a water tower is a better analogy, because when water (new function say) is needed in a new direction (building down the hill to a new environment not yet used) the organism gets to work to build it. Everything intelligent is riding on the edge of “criticality”.
Starting from 1965 he has memorized his theoretical progress and defines so. I felt there is a fundamental importance on critical system, being in the edge of chaos, for evolution but can not digest what is what. He seems to feel the threat of getting confabulated if he is interrupted and questioned about his theoretical structure. That may be why he speaks like a robot. Science people should receive presentation courses.
@@francesco5581 I absolutely agree. I have watched and listened most of those brilliant minds. Learnt many new things. That is why I need a clear definition on critical system from its theorists's mouth.

He is so good explaining in a way no one understand ...

@@stevedavis1437 OK, then tell us precisely what you are referring to. This should be interesting.
Theoretical biology is a great field to do research.
I didn't understand a word of it.
you are not alone ...
He’s just saying life operates where changes are easiest to make ! Duhh- right? “Criticality”- common. LOL
I don't know about biology, however in psychology we are every day farther from sanity...
Seems some, perhaps most of us are still sane at least. But yeah, something's going on.
Thanks
excellent synopsis! "edge of chaos"..
Could DNA information be programmed at quantum level, with natural selection operating at classic level?

@_'-¢√¢¢¢¢££__do you find that you comment without any idea, of the subject, even less of of what is you're saying?
A chaotic order, back to square one .
Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Nope! No idea Stuart..... 🤨 I am off to listen to David Chalmers 🤣
But what about the criticality?
Some dynamically critical 10 mins...
The answer seems to be a question.
Well, in a criticalitious phase transitional sense, I suppose one might dynamically sense a near chaotic criticality, yes.
He not has concise prove in his abstract model. Why his model evolution link dna since ancient time? Why? How it works. Abstract not sense speculations.

Tough to follow but definitely worth it. Very rewarding 10 mins with Stu Kauffman.
Not.
@@b.g.5869 Because?
@@stevedavis1437 Because he's a horrible communicator.
@@b.g.5869 No, he's incredibly eloquent given the level of abstract thinking required to think about these issues.
@@stevedavis1437 He's anything but eloquent. But you don't make a good case for his eloquence when you don't seem to understand what he said.

There are so many scientists that are so adorable to listen... Penrose, Turok ,Davies, Rees , Smoot and many many others .

Follow Jesus Christ
For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
Dogmatic nonsense
We are part and parcel of God.
You managed 7 words then.
No clue what he's talking about 😅
A man who does not know
“He who talks so much does not know- he who speaks little understands- The Tao debChing”.
Evolution vs intelligent design? I guess dna just evolved 🤣😂😅
