Fixed points of Boolean networks with sparse connections
Stav Marcus, Ari M. Turner, Guy Bunin +1
We study fixed points of cellular automata with sites on random sparse graphs. In the large limit such models are known to exhibit phase transitions, from a ``frozen'' phas…

Learning to outgrow the competition: reaction-diffusion systems that adapt to time-dependent environments
Olivier Rivoire, Guy Bunin
A fundamental challenge in both biology and engineering is understanding how adaptation can emerge from simple physical or chemical building blocks. Biological adaptation appears t…

Evolutionary features in a minimal physical system: diversity, selection, growth, inheritance, and adaptation
Guy Bunin, Olivier Rivoire
We present a simple physical model that recapitulates several features of biological evolution, while being based only on thermally-driven attachment and detachment of elementary b…
