What is Physics For? Why Classical Physics is not the Limit of Quantum Mechanics
Adam Frank, Jacques L. Pienaar, Michel Bitbol +4
Quantum mechanics is justifiably held to be the most successful physical theory ever created; yet no universally accepted interpretation of its mathematical formalism exists after…
An Information Theory Approach to Identifying Signs of Life on Transiting Planets
Sara Vannah, Marcelo Gleiser, Lisa Kaltenegger
Can information theory provide insights into whether exoplanets are habitable? Here we apply information theory to a range of simulated exoplanet transmission spectra as a diagnost…
Semantic Information in a model of Resource Gathering Agents
Damian R Sowinski, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Robert N Markwick +5
We explore the application of a new theory of Semantic Information to the well-motivated problem of a resource foraging agent. Semantic information is defined as the subset of corr…
An Informational-Entropic Approach to Exoplanet Characterization
Sara Vannah, Ian D. Stiehl, Marcelo Gleiser
In the past, measures of ``Earth-likeness'' of exoplanets have been qualitative, considered an abiotic Earth, or required discretionary choices of what parameters make a planet Ear…
Biological Homochirality and the Search for Extraterrestrial Biosignatures
Marcelo Gleiser
Most amino acids and sugars molecules occur in mirror, or chiral, images of each other, knowns as enantiomers. However, life on Earth is mostly homochiral: proteins contain almost…
Consensus between Epistemic Agents is Difficult
Damian R. Sowinski, Jonathan Carroll-Nellenback, Jeremy M. DeSilva +4
We introduce an epistemic information measure between two data streams, that we term . Closely related to transfer entropy, the measure must be estimated by epistemic ag…
