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

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,
