Une recherche via Googlesearch sur le mathématicien John Horton Conway [et son automate cellulaire appelé "le jeu de la vie" ] a fait émerger ce papier des résultats : Conway's “Game of Life” and the Epigenetic Principle  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4905947/  . Il propose une équivalence entre l'approche de Conway et la biologie. On y trouve en particulier tableau suivant : Tableau extrait de l'article  Conway's “Game of Life” and the Epigenetic Principle Une autre équivalence pourrait émerger de la comparaison : nous devrions tous adopter cette règle simple "TOUJOURS CHAUSSER DES LUNETTES ANOPTIQUES"... clin d'oeil anoptique à John Horton Conway et Olivier Auber ( ANOPTIKON ) 😜 MAJ du 25 mai 2020 En 1967 John Horton Conway travaillait sur sa théorie mathématique des nœuds et des liens (An enumeration of knots and links, and some of their algebraic properties  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780

Citation : "This storm will pass. But the choices we make now could change our lives for years to come (...) In this time of crisis, we face two particularly important choices. The first is between totalitarian surveillance and citizen empowerment. The second is between nationalist isolation and global solidarity (...) Asking people to choose between privacy and health is, in fact, the very root of the problem. Because this is a false choice. We can and should enjoy both privacy and health. We can choose to protect our health and stop the coronavirus epidemic not by instituting totalitarian surveillance regimes, but rather by empowering citizens. (...) We must hope that the current epidemic will help humankind realise the acute danger posed by global disunity. (...) If we choose disunity, this will not only prolong the crisis, but will probably result in even worse catastrophes in the future. If we choose global solidarity, it will be a victory not only against the coronavirus,

In so doing, it highlights two specific areas. First, it considers the ethical issues that arise for institutions of higher education in the area of engineering and applied science. Its focus is on specific issues at universities of technology, more specifically on the relationships both of individual academic researchers, and of institutions themselves, with industrial partners, commerce and innovation in for-profit organizations. The second area of focus is the matter of educating a new generation of engineers and scientists so that they will be equipped to deal with the future challenges that mankind faces, while also observing the highest moral standards of academic conduc

Tim Berners-Lee propose un contrat pour le web " The Web was designed to bring people together and make knowledge freely available. It has changed the world for good and improved the lives of billions. Yet, many people are still unable to access its benefits and, for others, the Web comes with too many unacceptable costs. Everyone has a role to play in safeguarding the future of the Web. The Contract for the Web was created by representatives from over 80 organizations, representing governments, companies and civil society, and sets out commitments to guide digital policy agendas. To achieve the Contract’s goals, governments, companies, civil society and individuals must commit to sustained policy development, advocacy, and implementation of the Contract text." Le "Contrat pour le Web" comporte 9 grands principes qui concernent aussi bien les gouvernements, les entreprises que les citoyens. Ces principes impliquent que le design d'internet c'est à dire
