Discutiré la noción de información que puede inferirse a partir de la teoría de la decoherencia cuántica de Zurek. Mostraré tres aspectos distintivos que la contrastan con la teoría de la información de Shannon. (1) La fuente de información reside en el potencial inherente a los sistemas cuánticos. (2) En lugar de recepción de información, se trata de una actualización de información de acuerdo a la definición previa de los estados realmente accesibles por el medio ambiente. (3) En lugar de canal de transmisión de información, se destaca el papel del medio ambiente como selector de estados preferidos (posibles y altamente probables) a ser actualizados, y además como depósito de información inaccesible (estados posibles pero altamente improbables). Se propone clarificar estas ideas, buscando su aplicabilidad para el entendimiento de los sistemas vivos por analogía con sistemas cuánticos. La supervivencia de la información seleccionada explica la coordinación y propagación de variantes epigenéticas responsables de la diferenciación celular en el contexto de un acople estructural reciproco y funcional entre la célula y el medio ambiente. De esta manera se discute un paralelismo entre algoritmos típicamente darwiniano y otro neolamarquiano.
I will discuss the notion of information that can be inferred from Zurek's theory of quantum decoherence. I will show three distinctive traits in contrast with the standard Shannon information theory, i.e. (1) the information source as a potential inherent to quantum systems. (2) Instead of reception of information, an actualization prior denition of really attainable states by the environment. (3) Instead of information transmission channel, the role of the
environment as a selector of preferred states (possible and
highly probable) to be actualized, and as a reservoir of
unaccesible information (possible but highly improbable).
It is proposed a clarication of these ideas, aiming at their applications for the understanding of living systems as quantum-like. The survival of selected information will account for the coordination and propagation of epigenetic variants that are responsible for cell dierentiation in the context of cell and environment reciprocal functional and structural coupling. In this manner a parallel between Darwinian and (Neo)-Lamarckian algorithm is discussed.
