From: on behalf of Seth Lloyd < Sent: Saturday, February 25, 2017 4:49 PM To: Jeffrey E. Subject: Re: Dear Jeffrey, He probably can't com= but you would enjoy my friend and colleague Max Tegmerk. </=iv> I've been following up on your question about symmetry -- or l=ck thereof -- in biological systems. In fact, the lack of=symmetry in biology seems to be related to my observation that most biolog=cal equilibria are unstable. Stable equilibria lead to symmetrie=: think of a planet taking on a spherical form. Unstable equi=ibria don't have this feature: the system breaks symmetry as=it seeks an exit from the equilibrium. Since biological =div>equilibria are dynamic and ultimately unstable, we shouldn't expec= symmetric behavior. This shows up in physics as well in =he form of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
