Infotropism: There may be some other things which are conserved in Life, some abstract properties maybe. I dunno, anyone here know? Anyways, does Noether’s theorem even apply to it? I thought it just applied to things that had lagrangians or something analogous. Can Life be represented in any mathematical form that ends up with sufficient lagrangian or whatever structure that Noether’s theorem can even begin to talk about it?
Also, I think Eliezer was hinting at that possibility, he was partly suggesting something along the lines of “am sticking with this notion until I have something better and less confusing to replace it with.”
