Kinetic Interference in Translational Control: A Path-Measure Framework for Collision-Triggered Transcript Decay
Shlomo Segal
I connect two literatures developed independently: the path-measure formulation of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, where a trajectory action decomposes into a time-antisymme…

Geometric Dissipation Constraints in Stochastic Reaction Dynamics: A Variational Observable for Hidden Kinetic Structure in Energy Landscapes
Shlomo Segal
We propose a geometric framework for characterizing hidden kinetic constraints in stochastic reaction dynamics. While free-energy barriers and entropy production provide global des…

A Formal Physical Framework for the Origin of Life: Dissipation-Driven Selection of Evolving Replicators
Shlomo Segal
The emergence of life from inanimate matter presents a thermodynamic challenge: the Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates a global trend towards disorder, yet life constitutes loca…
