[FRIAM] Intentionality is the Mark of the Vital

[jofr at cas-group.net]

One of my favorite papers from Nick is the paper „Intentionality is the Mark of the Vital“. Maybe because every piece of code I write as a developer has a certain purpose and intention. Genetic code contains instructions & recipes too. It has an „intention“.

Why is that so many of the good papers are a collaboration of two persons from different departments? Wilson & Sober have written a paper about group selection, Robert Boyd and Peter Richerson too:
