Analogy and pattern recognition

摘要

I'll show in an initial section (1.) that the kind of analogy between life and information (argue for by authors such as) is like the design argument and that if the design argument is invalid, the argument to the effect that artificial mind may represents an expected advance in the life evolution in Universe is also unfounded and invalid. However, if we are prepared to admit (though we should not do) this method of reasoning as valid, I'll show in an second section (2.), that the analogy between life and information seems suggest some type of reductionism of life to information, but biology respectively chemistry or physics are not reductionist, contrary to what seems to be suggested by the analogy between life and information.
