Reflecting on Einstein’s random walk, perturbation, dissipative systems, retention, biological variation, natural drifting, thermodynamic equilibrium, phylogenetic selection, and autopoiesis,. A conversation with Prof. Rudi Balling, Director of the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine on key concepts of systems theory.
