One of the most compelling problems in science consists in understanding how
living systems process information. After all, the way they process information
defines their capacities to learning and adaptation. There is an increasing
consensus in that living systems are not machines in any sense. Biological
hyper-computation is the concept coined that expresses that living beings
process information non-algorithmically. Maldonado and Gomez (2015) have
brought up biological hyper-computation as a new problem within complexity
science. This paper aims at proving a positive understanding of non-algorithmic
processes. A number of arguments are brought that support the claim. This
fosters, it is argued, a brand new understanding of information processing
among living beings. Some conclusions are drawn at the end.Comment: 9 pages, 1 tabl
