Scientists Found a Paradox in Evolution—and It May Become the Next Rule of Biology: Study reveals that cells thrive on chaos.
- It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about the behavior or nature and evolution.
- Now, USC researchers want to add a new rule called “selectively advantageous instability (SAI),” which explores how instability can actually benefit a cell and a cellular organism.
- The flipside of this “rule” is that SAI can also be a key factor to things like disease and aging, so understanding this process could aid in exploration of those biological processes.

A Distributed Learned Hash Table
The "Holy Grail" of current research is a system where the DHT is the neural network—a globally distributed brain where every node is a cluster of neurons, and the DHT protocol is the "synapse" that routes signals between them based on learned patterns rather than static hashes. Learning to Route is a great entry point into this specific rabbit hole.
