Impossible Worlds: The Role of RAI Overcoming Human Thresholds
摘要
Life manifests extraordinary resilience across the planet, thriving in environments once deemed inhospitable. Extremophiles—organisms that flourish under extreme physical or chemical conditions—redefine the typical boundaries of habitability. This paper explores the intimate dialectic relationship that binds a life system and its surrounding environment through the lens of embodiment, structural coupling, semiosis, adaptation, and evolution. By focusing on the existential dynamics of the microcosms of extremophiles the paper uncovers its profound implications for ecology, design of intelligent technologies, human life in impossible worlds, namely the space navigation endeavor and astrobiology.
