ORT (Only Read Title) and abstract so far but it reminds me: Cf. "Life as Evolving Software, Greg Chaitin at PPGC UFRGS" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlYS_GiAnK8 > Few people remember Turing's work on pattern formation in biology (morphogenesis), but Turing's famous 1936 paper On Computable Numbers exerted an immense influence on the birth of molecular biology indirectly, through the work of John von Neumann on self-reproducing automata, which influenced Sydney Brenner who in turn influenced Francis Crick, the Crick of Watson and Crick, the discoverers of the molecular structure of DNA.…

If you like this see also [1], and Joy as well as Iota and Jot[2] (programming languages). And maybe "Algorithmically probable mutations reproduce aspects of evolution such as convergence rate, genetic memory, and modularity": https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.00268v8 > In the context of his Metabiology programme, Gregory Chaitin, a founder of the theory of algorithmic information, introduced a theoretical computational model that evolves ‘organisms’ relative to their environment considerably faster than classical random mutation. While theoretically sound, the ideas had not been tested and further…
