Present-day physics has fallen into the trap of attempting to characterise nature purely on the basis of studying non-living systems. Through not asking, in the way biologists do, ‘what is going on, to produce the phenomena that we see?’, physicists miss out on key concepts such as the role of signs (semiosis), and investigate only simple forms of coordination.

Local order evolves into order of a more global kind in subtle ways, illustrated here in graphical terms (see slide 7 at 9:09). This new perspective can be expected to be more fruitful in regard to our understanding of reality than conventional approaches in physics.

This video is the recording of an online lecture given at the Coherence 2020 conference dedicated to the late immunologist Jacques Benveniste.
