Information dynamics in living systems: prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and cancer.
Living systems use information and energy to maintain stable entropy while far from thermodynamic equilibrium. The underlying first principles have not been established.We propose that stable entropy in living systems, in the absence of thermodynamic equilibrium, requires an information extremum (ma...
