Metrology of Complexity and Implications for the Study of the Emergence of Life
Sara Imari Walker
One of the longest standing open problems in science is how life arises from non-living matter. If it is possible to measure this transition in the lab, then it might be possible t…
A Relational Macrostate Theory Guides Artificial Intelligence to Learn Macro and Design Micro
Yanbo Zhang, Sara Imari Walker
The high-dimesionality, non-linearity and emergent properties of complex systems pose a challenge to identifying general laws in the same manner that has been so successful in simp…
False positives and the challenge of testing the alien hypothesis
Searra Foote, Pritvik Sinhadc, Cole Mathis +1
The origin of life and the detection of alien life have historically been treated as separate scientific research problems. However, they are not strictly independent. Here, we dis…
Assembly Theory Explains and Quantifies the Emergence of Selection and Evolution
Abhishek Sharma, Dániel Czégel, Michael Lachmann +3
Since the time of Darwin, scientists have struggled to reconcile the evolution of biological forms in a universe determined by fixed laws. These laws underpin the origin of life, e…
Inferring Exoplanet Disequilibria with Multivariate Information in Atmospheric Reaction Networks
Theresa Fisher, Hyunju Kim, Camerian Millsaps +2
Inferring the properties of exoplanets from their atmospheres, while confronting low resolution and low signal-to-noise in the context of the quantities we want to derive, poses ri…
Beyond COVID-19: Network science and sustainable exit strategies
James Bell, Ginestra Bianconi, David Butler +11
On May and , a two day workshop was held virtually, facilitated by the Beyond Center at ASU and Moogsoft Inc. The aim was to bring together leading scientists wi…
