  This work is an attempt for a state-of-the-art survey of natural and life
sciences with the goal to define the scope and address the central questions of
an original research program. It is focused on the phenomena of emergence,
adaptive dynamics and evolution of self-assembling, self-organizing,
self-maintaining and self-replicating biosynthetic systems viewed from a
newly-arranged perspective and understanding of computation and communication
in the living nature.
