  1. The operator hierarchy a chain of closures linking matter, life and artificial intelligence a periodical system for evolution Gerard Jagers op Akkerhuis

  2. What is the problem? • Ongoing scientific specialization Why is this a problem? • Compartmentation of sciences causes problems with the interdisciplinary communication Can this problem be solved? • Integrating theory for organization But do we not already have such a theory?…

  3. Biosphere Ecosystem Community Population Organisms Organ systems Organs Tissues Cells Organelles Complex molecules Molecules Atoms Fundamental particles Biosphere We already have the well-known “general system hierarchy” Ecosystem Community ? Contributing to Population (Organisms) Multicellulars What is typical about its logic….? Organ systems Organs Three types of ranking are mixed Tissues Cells with nucleus Cells • internal differentiation Organelles • Interactions (abstract “levels”) Complex molecules • Particles and organisms of different complexity levels Part of Molecules Atoms Fundamental particles

  4. Can things be organized differently? Dimension 3: interaction systems More complex organism Dimension 1: ‘particles’ What is ‘complex’? Deliberate application of the three types of complexity ranking (= dimensionsfor hierarchy) Dimension 2: internal differentiation

  5. Complexity is determined by ‘closure’: • means rounding off or containing • distinguishes a particle from its environment (Heylighen) Closure as the operator hierarchy uses it, is caused by: a new cyclic shape and a new cyclic process, which together create the first-next level of selforganization For example: } cyclic shape > cyclic process >

  6. Continuation…. with focus on the operators Thus: with the aid of closure one can organize particles and organisms in a ‘hierarchy ofoperators’ Dimension 3: interaction systems Lower levels can be added closure closure closure Dimension 1: ‘particles’ next operator next operator How many operators do exist? Dimension 2: internal differentiation

  7. SAE SCI HMI multi-particle hypercycle interface memon sensors euk. multicell. neuron cycle eukaryote cell multicellular cell cell membrane autocatalysis molecule atom electron shell atom nucleus hadron confinement quark-gluon interaction particles The operator hierarchy  closure dimensions predictions  closure levels Mind that grey bars represent intermediate system states required to create the operators

  8. The operator hierarchy Interesting discovery, but what is it good for? Examples of applications….

  9. Application 1: Life (not ‘living’!) = all operators from the level of the cell and up - Not relevant: Metabolism - Not relevant: Reproduction - Not only relevant: First cell + Organisation and hierarchy + Operators More information about the operator based definition of life: page 122 of my thesis: http://dare.ubn.kun.nl/dspace/bitstream/2066/82605/1/82605

  10. Application 2: an additional level in the ‘tree of life’ Memons multicellulars unicellular eukaryotes prokaryotes More information on this subject on page 100 of my thesis: http://dare.ubn.kun.nl/dspace/bitstream/2066/82605/1/82605

  11. Application 3: Thefuture of evolution As soon as we provide these things, which we regard as “machines”, with the appropriate neural structure, they will fit to the operator hierarchy and be life More information about future operators: page 78 of my thesis: http://dare.ubn.kun.nl/dspace/bitstream/2066/82605/1/82605

  12. Summary: Operator hierarchy Life Closure Memon Future In other words… Three dimensions for hierarchy
