Something 'Spooky' in Living Things

Biological and technical systems only function if many components are constrained to work together. Coded Information Systems (CISs) consist of linked tools and machines which refine outcomes to attain a specific goal. Four strategies to refine outcomes can be designed into a CIS: coded messages; pre-loaded resources; engineered constraints; and sensors. The model quantifies the effect of each discrete refining step in terms of the reduced entropy with respect to a preceding non-informational reference state. Any theory of the origin of life must account for the existence of CISs in all life forms.
