Would that be related to biosemiotics?

No—though I would gratefully take any reccs for sources/concepts there :) it’s from one of the closing chapters of Physical Bio of the Cell.

There is the book of the same title from Hoffmeyer. More recently the book from Dennis P. Waters on sequences is a broad reading.

Does something like Transformer: Deep chemistry of life and death by Nick Lane track with either of these mentioned concepts or totally different?

For me, pretty hard to tell. Def. a pop-sci rather than textbook-y/academic treatment.

Need to look into that, interesting title. Yet from the title there may be a fundamental difference in where the approaches are rooted. Speculating Lane’s proposal roots in computational models, whereas Hoffmeyer and Pattee do explore different spaces (too).

Please scratch my comment. Started to read more from Lane. Even more interesting than the title, and perhaps my remark is just invalid. Ordering the book, and hasta la vista around here.
