Eons of coevolution of Earth and life seem to have favoured ecological relationships that enhanced the planet’s habitability, endowing it with features resembling those of a living organism, including a capacity for self-regulation, albeit constrained. To survive in the world, living organisms must convert energy and matter from one form to another, sense their environment, and move through the world. Understanding living systems requires us to understand how information flows across many scales, from single molecules to groups of organisms. From harnessing energy dissipation for more reliable information transmission on the molecular scale to using novel network dynamics as a…
