The predominant approach in Biology is - "Let's see what is there in nature."

What if we ask the opposite - "Why don't we observe this particular property/phenomenon in the living system?"

This is something similar to what Bernard Shaw said - "You see things and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were and I say 'Why not?'"

Will this approach lead us to develop more 'Theory-driven' research in Biology?

Whenever I hear discussions on the #complexity of the Human #Brain, I think of videos like this one. Here a unicellular ciliate is 'hunting'!

Can we step outside
anthropocentric ideas & develop a (mathematical) Theory for the 'Brain' of a single cell? The theory should define & explain information collection, processing, and decision-making by a single cell.

Any thought or pointer is welcome.
