Life and Information

Stathine–Coexon reinterpretation of Sara Imari Walker’s work. Original conceptual formulation by Anand Damani.

Sara Imari Walker's work investigates the relationship between life, information, origins of life and the emergence of biological organization.

“Life transforms matter into organized information; the Coexon hypothesis asks whether the emergence of sentience represents another level of organization that cannot be described solely through material structure.”

The research challenge is to distinguish information as a measurable physical property from the proposed sentient organization of information.
