Transient Dissipation and Structural Costs of Physical Information Transduction
Alexander B. Boyd, Dibyendu Mandal, Paul M. Riechers +1
A central result that arose in applying information theory to the stochastic thermodynamics of nonlinear dynamical systems is the Information-Processing Second Law (IPSL): the phys…
Leveraging Environmental Correlations: The Thermodynamics of Requisite Variety
Alexander B. Boyd, Dibyendu Mandal, James P. Crutchfield
Key to biological success, the requisite variety that confronts an adaptive organism is the set of detectable, accessible, and controllable states in its environment. We analyze it…
Correlation-powered Information Engines and the Thermodynamics of Self-Correction
Alexander B. Boyd, Dibyendu Mandal, James P. Crutchfield
Information engines can use structured environments as a resource to generate work by randomizing ordered inputs and leveraging the increased Shannon entropy to transfer energy fro…
