Towards chemistries in dynamical systems
Martin Biehl, Nathaniel Virgo
Chemistry describes aspects of the universe in terms of molecules and their reactions. In this exploratory work we present a way to describe aspects of any dynamical system in simi…
Bayesian updates from coalgebraic determinisation
Manuel Baltieri, Nathaniel Virgo
The powerset construction is the classical determinisation procedure for nondeterministic finite automata. In the coalgebraic setting, this construction has been generalised to str…
A "good regulator theorem" for embodied agents
Nathaniel Virgo, Martin Biehl, Manuel Baltieri +1
In a classic paper, Conant and Ashby claimed that "every good regulator of a system must be a model of that system." Artificial Life has produced many examples of systems that perf…
A Bayesian Interpretation of the Internal Model Principle
Manuel Baltieri, Martin Biehl, Matteo Capucci +1
The internal model principle, originally proposed in the theory of control of linear systems, nowadays represents a more general class of results in control theory and cybernetics.…
