My talk from @bioctrl about the physical origin of agency is uploaded here: youtube.com/watch?v=YY21pH… TLDR: noise equals control. Nature is constantly sampling control trajectories via noise

Tomorrow, Tue 24 June, join us for our monthly online seminar! Eric De Giuli from Toronto Metropolitan University will present their work "Noise equals endogenous control" at 5pm CET / 11am ET / 8am PT As always more information at biocontrolseminars.org

Have you ever wondered how biology creates agency out of physics? I will explain the mechanism in simple language tomorrow, in a virtual seminar @bioctrl (link below). (video D Rogers, Vanderbilt U)

I'm very excited about this virtual talk, tomorrow at 11am ET, and open to everyone! I will explain precisely how and why agency is part of Nature, and illustrate the idea with some examples from biology and beyond. No complex mathematics.
