Game Mining: How to Make Money from those about to Play a Game
James W. Bono, David H. Wolpert
It is known that a player in a noncooperative game can benefit by publicly restricting his possible moves before play begins. We show that, more generally, a player may benefit by…
Thermodynamics of computations with absolute irreversibility, unidirectional transitions, and stochastic computation times
Gonzalo Manzano, Gülce Kardeş, Édgar Roldán +1
Developing a thermodynamic theory of computation is a challenging task at the interface of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and computer science. In particular, this task requires de…
Stochastic thermodynamics of multiple co-evolving systems -- beyond multipartite processes
Farita Tasnim, David H. Wolpert
Many dynamical systems consist of multiple, co-evolving subsystems (degrees of freedom). These subsystems often depend upon each other in a way that restricts the overall system's…
Entropy production in communication channels
Farita Tasnim, Nahuel Freitas, David H. Wolpert
In many complex systems, whether biological or artificial, the thermodynamic costs of communication among their components are large. These systems also tend to split information t…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of uncertain stochastic processes
Jan Korbel, David H. Wolpert
Stochastic thermodynamics is formulated under the assumption of perfect knowledge of all thermodynamic parameters. However, in any real-world experiment, there is non-zero uncertai…
Stochastic Mathematical Systems
David H. Wolpert, David B. Kinney
We introduce a framework that can be used to model both mathematics and human reasoning about mathematics. This framework involves {stochastic mathematical systems} (SMSs), which a…
