Cellular intelligence: Microphenomenology and the realities of being.
Progress in biophysics and molecular biology December 1, 2017 Brian J Ford
Eastern traditions view life holistically, emphasizing health and healing as expressions of a spiritual principle, while Western reductionist science models living processes as digital computer systems. The argument here is that cognition, response, and decision-making in living cells go beyond such modeling. Microscopic studies of shell-building amoebae and the alga Antithamnion reveal a level of cellular intelligence unrecognized by science and not amenable to computer analysis.
