Memory: Retrodiction — Exploring the history of parts and wholes in the biosystems of life

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Unity defines modules in biological structures, which must tightly fit within other modular entities as they unfold in the systems of life. These modules are also observables that can be effectively used to study the evolution of the natural world. Here I explore how tree and network thinking can help explain evolutionary change by building rooted phylogenies of modular parts and wholes. The effort is needed to understand the rise of biological complexity.
