Information generating, sharing and manipulating Source-Reservoir-Sink model of self-organizing dissipative structures

Abstract

Information-theoretic description of the signal transmitter, the channel and receiver is extended to the network of self-organizing dissipative structures consisting of a source, a reservoir and a sink. The information generation by the source is subjected to controlled manipulation by the reservoir before being transmitted to the sink. The reservoir can have memory and variable capacity for information storage. The role of the reservoir in building the manipulative capacity for information storage and selective sharing is illustrated by the characteristic of asymmetric exchange between the reservoir and the sink. A box-model is used to develop the model to represent material, process and information sharing among the source, the reservoir and the sink. The model is applied to self-organizing carbon cages with the end-directed evolution of the buckyball.
