Constancy, uniformity and symmetry of living systems: the computational functions of morphological invariance

Living systems, whether organs or entire organisms, display various forms of morphological invariance. Why? These phenomena are studied here from the Proto-Cognitive perspective, according to which evolution proceeds by processing information about the environment. The evolution of constancy, unifor...
