The Foundations of Special Systems Theory
Foundations of Special Systems Theory: In the Name of the Completion of Nature (Chapter 01 )
My reaction to the work of Terrence Deacon called Incomplete Nature based on Speical Systems Theory.
Deacon’s work provides interesting foundations for Special Systems Theory by rethinking some basic ideas in Physics like information, entropy, thermodynamics and other concepts key to understanding life, and consciousness and the social and how there is a necessary gap between normal science and what is needed for these special topics that seem to violate normal physical science. Also of importance in this regard is Robert Rosen’s Life Itself which makes room for Biology in Physical Science though noting that complex entailment structures leave room for Life.
