Novelty Production and Evolvability in Digital Genomic Agents: Logical Foundations and Policy Design Implications of Complex Adaptive Systems

Genomic Intelligence as Über Bio-Cybersecurity: The Gödel Sentence in Immuno-Cognitive Systems

“…As postulated, the driving force behind the unique form of genomic intelligence is the necessity for the genomic system to identify the other, in particular the hostile malware agent that could alter what will be referred to as basal self-codes involved in vital operations governing genomic autonomy/identity and somatic integrity. As discussed in [ 44 , 45 ], this is a digital game with self modelled as the host ( h ) and the hostile other as the parasite ( p ). The necessary G-T-P formalism will also be given.…”

“…Refs [ 44 , 45 ] show how the 2-place self-other in MNS uses the Gödel substitution function for meta-analyses of second order problems…”

“…The significance of basal information in set A in terms of what [ 52 ] call firing of canonical neurons in the sensory-visual and motor cortex for social cognition was recently cited by [ 100 ] as “a large, complex and ancient set of Bayesian priors (visual, sensory, motor) that constrain inference in any mammalian brain, and are equally operative in the human brain” (see [ 44 , 101 ]).…”

“…Except for Markose [ 44 , 45 ] and Tsuda [ 46 ], there has not been an explicit acknowledgement of the necessity of a precise Gödel meta-mirror system that is parallel to codes from online machine executions by self in a model of cognition. The epochal discovery of the Mirror Neuron System (MNS) in the brain by the Parma Group [ 47 , 48 , 49 ] in the 1990s led to the characterization of MNS in the facilitation of social cognition of other’s actions by self-referential reuse of codes from the neuronal firings from the agent’s own motor and sensory activity (see [ 50 , 51 ]).…”

“…However, [ 46 ] did not extend the necessity of the Gödel framework for the identification of hostile viral software. This has been variously referred to as “Viruses in Turing’s Garden” (see [ 42 , 43 , 53 ]), the Liar strategy [ 44 , 45 ] and by [ 54 ] on the necessity of self-referential structures involving inverter/negator machines for the generation of the undecidable syntactic objects associated with recursive novelty production. Markose [ 45 ] cites the significance of the experiments of Scott Kelso and his group [ 55 , 56 ] that discovered the offline encoding of negation of predicted actions as part of the human mirror neuron system as providing key evidence for the necessary G-T-P logical condition (3) in the cognitive system to achieve the capacity to “think outside the box” and be capable of novelty production.…”
