This is the kind of stuff that fascinates me. Top down approach
  rather than a bottoms-up approach. Nothing magical about Cells;
   they're containers. Focusing on Time creation via Information
         Flow via a subject who "pulls in" from the outside
   environment... shifting the focus from subject/object to their
    relations as having primacy, is simply awesome stuff to me.

   These guys are "going subjective" when the rest of the science
    community is still stuck in old'school 'objective". Future's
  here and whether or not Evolution happened as it did, the shift
  in perspective towards emergent systems and non-linear causation
         is leading to all these neat unexpected things to
                        come.[1]protobiology
