Abstract

The contribution provides an example of how a formal model of some life-like functions – the so called eco-grammar (EG) system – provides a framework in which it is formally provable that the computational power of the model – under some very natural circumstances derived from the specificities of living systems, esp. from their embodiment – may overcome the computational limits of traditional computing models, perhaps also the computational power of the universal Turing machine.
