A diffuse biosemiotic model for cell-to-tissue computational closure.

The adoption of diffuse rationality creates a practical bridge between biosemiotics and computation in formulating local-to-global self-consistent criteria for cellular-to-tissue interfacing and for the emergence of life and consciousness. Nature is always complex, the more so at biological membranic inter-scalar interfaces. We present an evolutionary model of the relationship between autonomy and dependence across scales, and describe the implications of its alternating complex-rational-complex nature.
