Causal Information Exchange as a Necessary Condition for Adaptive Regulation: A Perturbational Framework for Life and Agency
Brian LuValle, Abicumaran Uthamacumaran, Hector Zenil
Information exchange can support living organisation without providing a sufficient criterion for life. We develop a perturbational framework that distinguishes causal transmission…
Reconstruction of Geometric and Structural Aspects of Undeciphered Messages by Information-theoretic Methods
Hector Zenil, Abicumaran Uthamacumaran
In previous work, we established sufficient conditions for recovering geometry and topology from non-random information, demonstrating reconstruction with the Arecibo message. Unde…
Assembly Theory Reduced to Shannon Entropy and Rendered Redundant by Naive Statistical Algorithms
Luan Ozelim, Abicumaran Uthamacumaran, Felipe S. Abrahão +4
Assembly Theory (AT) and its central measure, the assembly index (Ai), represent an invaluable opportunity to address some of the most persistent and widespread conflations and mis…
On the Salient Limitations of the Methods of Assembly Theory and their Classification of Molecular Biosignatures
Abicumaran Uthamacumaran, Felipe S. Abrahão, Narsis A. Kiani +1
We demonstrate that the assembly pathway method underlying assembly theory (AT) is an encoding scheme widely used by popular statistical compression algorithms. We show that in all…
