Aside from external signaling (lifting a heavy weight) there's also internal signaling. For example, the fat cells signaling the brain with leptin. If that signal breaks down then the system (us) starts to break down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-45689842275206908292011-03-13T14:43:18.728-07:002011-03-13T14:43:18.728-07:00Agreed - it is fascinating.

Your link to Taleb's Fooled by Randomness contained this quote that really hit home with me:<br /><br />"Classical thermodynamics produce Gaussian variations, while informational variations are from Extremistan. Let me explain. If you<br />consider your diet and exercise as a simple energy deficits and excesses, with a straight calorie-in, calorie-burned equation, you will fall into the trap of misspecifying the system into simple causal and mechanical links.<br />Your food intake becomes the equivalent of filling up the tank of your new BMW. If on the other hand you look at food and exercise as activating metabolic signals, with potential metabolic cascades and nonlinearities from network effects, and with recursive links, then welcome to complexity, hence Extremistan. Both food and workout<br />provide your body with information about stressor in the environment.<br />As I have been saying throughout, informational randomness is from<br />Extremistan. Medicine fell into the trap of using simple<br />thermodynamics, with the same physics-envy and with the same<br />mentality and the same tools as economists did when they looked at the economy as a web of simple links. And both are complex systems."<br /><br />I like the fact that the paleo concept is evolving and becoming more 'evolution focused' rather than paleo navel-gazing. We are seeing change; carbohydrate is being reformed and dairy has a place in this brave new world. The same might even be happening with the 'paleo view' of exercise.<br /><br />But the whole signalling/information paradigm championed above seems to be quite fertile ground and yet is largely ignored by the more scientifically inlined in the paleo crowd. In an adaptive biological system, you'd think that this would be THE crucial approach.Asclepiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14604117979253596512noreply@blogger.com
