Author(s): Tomasz Rzepiński
Subject(s): Philosophy
Published by: Uniwersytet Warszawski - Wydział Filozofii i Socjologii, Instytut Filozofii
Keywords: theory of mechanistic explanation; signal decoding systems in biology; immunology

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the mechanistic account of explanation and uses it to propose a novel description of signal decoding systems (SDS) that occur in living organisms. The considerations are based on examples taken from the field of immunology. The results may be used in the analysis of decoding systems in computer science.
