biological uncertainty

Featured Replies

Existence of biological uncertainty principle implies that we can never find 'THE' measure for biological complexity.

There are innumerable 'biological complexity measure's. While some patterns emerge from these attempts to represent biological complexity, a single measure to encompass the seemingly countless features of biological systems, still eludes the students of Biology. It is the pursuit of this paper to discuss the feasibility of finding one complete and objective measure for biological complexity.https://arxiv.org/pdf/0902.0490.pdf

What do you think of this?

Without reading the article, it seems like a rather trivial observation, though (hopefully) clad in proper math. But considering how big our knowledge gaps are, I do wonder whether their models are fundamentally useful.
