Information geometry for multiparameter models: New perspectives on the origin of simplicity
Katherine N. Quinn, Michael C. Abbott, Mark K. Transtrum +2
Complex models in physics, biology, economics, and engineering are often sloppy, meaning that the model parameters are not well determined by the model predictions for collective b…
Thermodynamic stability and critical points in multicomponent mixtures with structured interactions
Isabella R. Graf, Benjamin B. Machta
Theoretical work has shed light on the phase behavior of idealized mixtures of many components with random interactions. But typical mixtures interact through particular physical f…
E. coli chemotaxis is information-limited
Henry H. Mattingly, Keita Kamino, Benjamin B. Machta +1
Organisms must acquire and use environmental information to guide their behaviors. However, it is unclear whether and how information quantitatively limits behavioral performance.…
Surface Densities Prewet a Near-Critical Membrane
Mason Rouches, Sarah Veatch, Benjamin Machta
Recent work has highlighted roles for thermodynamic phase behavior in diverse cellular processes. Proteins and nucleic acids can phase separate into three-dimensional liquid drople…
