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…
Universal bounds on optimization of free energy harvesting
Jordi Piñero, Ricard Solé, Artemy Kolchinsky
Harvesting free energy from the environment is essential for the operation of many biological and artificial systems. We investigate the maximum rate of harvesting achievable by op…
Exact edge landing probability for the bouncing coin toss and the three-sided die problem
Lluís Hernández-Navarro, Jordi Piñero
Have you ever taken a disputed decision by tossing a coin and checking its landing side? This ancestral "heads or tails" practice is still widely used when facing undecided alterna…
Fixation and Fluctuations in Two-Species Cooperation
Jordi Piñero, S. Redner, Ricard Solé
Cooperative interactions pervade in a broad range of many-body populations, such as ecological communities, social organizations, and economic webs. We investigate the dynamics of…
Fixation in Fluctuating Populations
Deepak Bhat, Jordi Piñero, S. Redner
We investigate the dynamics of the voter model in which the population itself changes endogenously via the birth-death process. There are two species of voters, labeled A and B, an…
Nonequilibrium entropic bounds for Darwinian replicators
Jordi Piñero, Ricard Solé
Life evolved on our planet by means of a combination of Darwinian selection and innovations leading to higher levels of complexity. The emergence and selection of replicating entit…
Field theory of molecular cooperators
Jordi Piñero, Ricard Solé
It has been suggested that major transitions in evolution require the emergence of novelties, often associated to the cooperative behaviour of previously existing objects or agents…
