How fast does Langton’s ant move?
The automaton known as ‘Langton’s ant’ exhibits a dynamical transition from a disordered phase to an ordered phase where the particle dynamics (the ant) produces a regular periodic pattern (called ‘highway’). Despite the simplicity of its basic algorithm, Langton’s ant has remained a puzzle in terms of analytical description. Here I show that the highway dynamics obeys a discrete equation where...
متن کاملHow Does Generic Language Elicit Essentialist Beliefs?
Generic language (e.g., “tigers have stripes,” “girls hate math”) is a powerful vehicle for communicating essentialist beliefs. One way generic language likely communicates these beliefs is by leading children to generate kind-based explanations about particular properties; e.g., if a child hears “girls hate math,” he may infer that there must be an inherent causal basis for the generalization,...
متن کاملHow and why does the endoplasmic reticulum move?
The ER (endoplasmic reticulum) is a fascinating organelle that is highly dynamic, undergoing constant movement and reorganization. It has many key roles, including protein synthesis, folding and trafficking, calcium homoeostasis and lipid synthesis. It can expand in size when needed, and the balance between tubular and lamellar regions can be altered. The distribution and organization of the ER...
متن کاملHow does it work? A generic feedback loop circadian oscillator
Within the past 18 months, common regulatory patterns have emerged among eukaryotic circadian systems — extending from fungi through to mammals. Heterodimeric complexes of PAS-domain-containing transcription factors play positive roles in clock-associated feedback loops, and classic clock proteins like FREQUENCY (FRQ), PERIOD (PER), and TIMELESS (TIM) appear as negative elements. Post-transcrip...
متن کاملQuadratic metric-affine gravity
We consider spacetime to be a connected real 4-manifold equipped with a Lorentzian metric and an affine connection. The 10 independent components of the (symmetric) metric tensor and the 64 connection coefficients are the unknowns of our theory. We introduce an action which is quadratic in curvature and study the resulting system of Euler–Lagrange equations. In the first part of the paper we lo...
