The Living Matter Way to exchange information.
It is hypothesized that the special way information is exchanged between living networks, the Living Matter Way (LMW), is determined by the Principle of Complexity Matching, which asserts that the relative complexity of two complex networks determines the transfer of information between them. The LMW explains the neurophysiology of habituation and why classical music persists in your head long after the music stops.
