The Conservative Physiology of the Immune System. A Non-Metaphoric Approach to Immunological Activity by Nelson M. Vaz, Gustavo C. Ramos, Vitor Pordeus, Claudia R. Carvalho

“…In the late 50s, selective theories were proposed and from then on, immunology has been based in a close association with the neo-Darwinian principles, such as random generation of variants (lymphocyte clones), selection by extrinsic factors (antigens)—and, more generally, on genetic determinism and functionalism. This association has had major consequences: (1) immunological jargon is full of “cognitive” metaphors, founded in the idea of “foreignness”; (2) the immune system is described with a random clonal origin, coupled to selection by random encounters; and (3) physiological events are virtually absent from immunological descriptions. …”

Evolution of sample-based music authorship network by Dongju Park, Juyong Park

“…A longitudinal analysis of the passing down of musical styles is then performed based on similarity between communities of distinct eras, identifying continuous temporal developments in music as well as instances of the revival of styles dormant across multiple generations, akin to “genetic atavism.” This study demonstrates the complex nature of cultural evolution using a network framework that is also generally applicable to other creative enterprises.…”
