There is a discussion about the organizing principle for embryos and where it is located, as well as the definition of things and how that relates to cognition.
There is an analogy made with numbers and numerals, where the numbers contain the information and constraints, while the numerals are just representations. This is related to the genotype-phenotype distinction.
Computations allow for particular results instead of mixing, which helps avoid losing the identity of original elements. This allows for evolution and selection.
The macroscopic constraints that determine certain phenomena are not predictable from the microscopic level. They come from boundary conditions set by the environment.
The same physical events can be interpreted in different ways and thus compute different things, depending on the observer and assigned semantics.
Memories can be stored in a distributed fashion, and different parts of the brain can interpret and recover them.
The identity of a system comes from the replacement policies of its components, which preserve some invariant while allowing for change over time.
Properties can be expressed as entities in relationships, which form a hierarchical structure. The specified vs. substitutable aspects sit in the relationships.
Different languages can encode entity-relation-entity structures in different ways.
It can be difficult to find reviewers and publishers for interdisciplinary papers that span multiple fields.
