On data and dimension in chemistry -- irreversibility, concealment and emergent conservation laws

Alex Blokhuis, Martijn van Kuppeveld, Daan van de Weem +1

Chemical systems are interpreted through the species they contain and the reactions they may undergo, i.e., their chemical reaction network (CRN). In spite of their central importa…
