The Triumph of Bio-logic

The limited mechanical logic of rational technology

The composing logic of artificial machinery, such as the principle of making clocks. is a theory that can be mastered by humans and can be deduced.

Biological logic

The constituent logic of an organic system. For example, the logic of the existence of these systems, such as grasslands, cells, and brains, becomes the biological logic. This is a system-level control technology, involving multiple variables and multiple complex factors, is the principle of maintaining a complex system. Simple theory is not enough to explain the operation logic of the whole system.

Biological Logic vs Mechanical logic

Mechanical logic can only be used to build simple devices, such as watches and clocks, although the clock is complex, but the main line of technology is really clear. A truly complex system, such as a cell, prairie, economy, or brain, cannot be built with mechanical logic and can only be relied upon by biological logic. So there's only biological logic to build a mind-operated, automated system.

Biological logic to mechanical logic

Human beings can learn a lot of useful things from the biological logic, and thus enrich their mechanical logic constantly.
The logic that has been successfully learned is:

• Self-replicating
• Self-management
• Limited self-healing
• Moderate evolution
• Local Learning

Mechanical logic to biological logic

Human use of existing technologies (mechanical logic) also alters biological systems:

• Bioengineering: Animal and plant domestication
• Genetic engineering: Transgenic

Biological logic with mechanical logic

The overlap between machinery and life is increasing. Embodied in

1. Human creation behaves more and more like life.
2. Living things become more and more engineering (can be controlled by humans)

Biological logic = Mechanical logic = Live system

The two are in constant mutual integration, in fact, the essence of the two is the same. In the biological field, there are concepts such as organisms and ecosystems, and the corresponding artificial objects include robots, companies, economies, computer circuits, etc.

Artificial Living System:

• Global telephone system
• Computer virus Incubator
• Robot prototype Machine
• Virtual reality
• Various artificial ecosystems

Summarize

Mechanical logic and biological logic do not have strict boundaries. Mechanical logic may only be a partial abstraction of the biological logic, and (possibly) countless mechanical logics, after a finite (or infinite) combination of complexity, constitute the complete biological logic.

So in the process of creating complex systems, humans may return to the natural areas again and again to find answers.
