Bio-informational equivalence.
Combined, the ideas of modern genetics and those of evolutionary process form the central explanatory concepts of biological science. Over the past 30 years or so, those concepts have merged with the idea that biological processes--at every level of organization--are equivalent to information transactions. The latter idea is here called the concept of bio-informational equivalence. It appears in one or other of three basic forms or else in some combination of them. According to the view adopted in this paper, bio-informational equivalence, in all its forms, has a deeply anthropocentric core which makes it unsuited for its present role as a quasi-theoretical perspective in biological science.
