Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The paper summarizes 70 science cases for the proposed NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory, outlining the observational needs across four scientific pillars and detailing required ca…
The Physics of Causation
Leroy Cronin, Sara I. Walker
Assembly theory (AT) introduces causation as a material property and establishes a metrology for objects produced by evolution and selection. The physical scale of causation is qua…
Searching for Life-As-We-Don't-Know-It: Mission-relevant Application of Assembly Theory for Exoplanet Life Detection
Sara Walker, Estelle Janin, Evgenya Shkolnik +2
This white paper introduces a framework for applying Assembly Theory (AT) to planetary atmospheres as a biosignature framework suitable for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO).…
Assembly Addition Chains
Leroy Cronin, Juan Carlos Morales Parra, Keith Y. Patarroyo
In this paper we extend the notion of Addition Chains over Z+ to a general set S. We explain how the algebraic structure of Assembly Multi-Magma over the pairs (S,BB proper subset…
Quantifying the Complexity of Materials with Assembly Theory
Keith Y Patarroyo, Abhishek Sharma, Ian Seet +3
Quantifying the evolution and complexity of materials is of importance in many areas of science and engineering, where a central open challenge is developing experimental complexit…
Assembly Theory and its Relationship with Computational Complexity
Christopher P. Kempes, Michael Lachmann, Andrew Iannaccone +4
Assembly theory (AT) quantifies selection using the assembly equation and identifies complex objects that occur in abundance based on two measurements, assembly index and copy numb…
