Turing Machines and Evolution. A Critique of Gregory Chaitin’s Metabiology

Radosław Siedliński

Published 2016 in Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric

ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of the paper is twofold. First, it presents the fundamental ideas and results of the “metabiology” created by Gregory Chaitin. Second, it shows why metabiology ultimately fails as a candidate for being a proper mathematical model for the theory of evolution by natural selection. Because of genocentric reductionism and biological oversimplifications, metabiology should be perceived rather as an expression of the philosophical worldview of it’s author.
