• Natural Agency: The Case of Bacterial Cognition (2017, background): “Bacterial cells can also detect and repair lesions to their DNA (Shapiro 2007) and sense the density of the population (‘quorum sensing’) in order to form colonies (‘biofilms’) that enable them to respond collectively as amulticellular organism (Ben-Jacob et al. 2006).”
• The evolutionary approach to entropy: Reconciling Georgescu-Roegen's natural philosophy with the maximum entropy framework (2011, unknown): “In a consistent naturalistic approach, this is far too narrow, as it seems evident that all living systems manifest processes of observation, as when a bacterium screens its environment for nutrients (Ben Jacob 1998, Ben-Jacob et al. 2006).”
