Doctoral dissertation
University of Helsinki Main Building, Auditorium XII, Unioninkatu 34The causal relationships determining the behaviour of a system under study are inherently directional: by manipulating a cause we can control its effect, but an effect cannot be used to control its cause. Understanding the network of causal relationships is necessary, for example, if we want to predict the behaviour in settings where the system is subject to...

Enformation Theory - "Physical Vitalism"
Prof. Heikki Hyotyniemi, Finland
Abstract:Enformation is "energetic information": being a form of energy, it has the capacity to make changes in the world. In this way, it defines "natural semantics" that gives meaning to emergent structures (but no purpose). Following the enformation flow it turns out that the diversity in natural systems, for example, can be explained in a novel way in terms of new kinds of "emergent ecolockers".
