Recently read a paper by Ken Miller.  
[http://www.neurotheory.columbia.edu/Ken/pubs/miller16-current-opinion.pdf](http://www.neurotheory.columbia.edu/Ken/pubs/miller16-current-opinion.pdf)  
It references a large number of good papers that may be relevant to people on this forum.

I skimmed it. I might read it a bit more carefully later. I don’t feel the need to be restricted to what biological systems can do, though I’m willing to be informed by them.
