PolymorphicMessaging

Context : BiologyAndComputing

Single-cell organisms pass "code" (DNA) around. But multi-cells only send messages which don't include code.

Sent code is essentially a virus.

There are two kind of message-passing : hijacking (sending code) vs. safer (message passing where the receiver decides how to interpret it.)

TurnItAround, multi-cell organisms appear when message passing arises?

Another explanation for the existence / value of larger multi-cell organizations?

Compare theories of the firm :

• RonaldCoase for minimising TransactionCosts here it's about minimising TransactionDangers?

• TheOnlySustainableEdge thinks they're connections for articulating learning.

Actually another reason for multi-cell is StigmergyStructure
