Emergence, Organization & Dynamics of Living Systems
Research on living systems at SFI spans: the origin of metabolism from early-earth geochemistry; the integration of energy capture, reproduction, and mutation in artificial organisms; the creation of minimal forms of life; the core principles governing ecosystem construction, stability, and measurement; the mechanisms providing stability at the social level; and applications of phylogenetic methods to vaccine development for HIV. Ecological integration is a pervasive theme, from suggestions that the ecology-level metabolic network formed before the emergence of cells, to the recognition that individuality is an emergent concept within ecological frameworks, and culminating in system-level analysis of ecosystems and social systems (ecologies of behavior), which incorporate their network structures and long-range constraints together with individual-based dynamics. Many projects involve generative models and first-principles prediction, and emphasize the emergence of informational elements at the system level that are not reducible to properties of individuals. Summarized here are four main research areas.
