Self-Sustaining Iterated Learning
An important result from psycholinguistics (Griffiths & Kalish, 2005) states that no language can be learned iteratively by rational agents in a self-sustaining manner. We show how to modify the learning process slightly in order to achieve self-sustainability. Our work is in two parts. First, we characterize iterated learnability in geometric terms and show how a slight, steady increase in the...
متن کاملEmergence of Self-Sustaining Activation
Here we present a network model in which self-sustaining recurrent activation emerges from simple cascades of activation. It is demonstrated that the ability to support such self-sustaining activation in our model depends on network connectivity as well as the ability to grow new links over time. Additionally, we explore how the probability of emergence of self-sustaining activity can be modula...
متن کاملMolecular biology: Self-sustaining chemistry
Molecular biology is an established interdisciplinary field within biology that deals fundamentally with the function of any nucleic acid in the cellular context. The molecular biology section in Chemistry Central Journal focusses on the genetically determined chemistry and biochemistry occuring in the cell. How can thousands of chemical reactions interact smoothly to maintain the life of cells...
متن کاملSelf-sustaining Sub-populations of Progenitor Cells
It has been established in several types of cancers, that the growth and maintenance of many cancers is due to a (typically small) sub-population of cells with stem-like properties: cells which are capable of indefinite self-renewal and of giving rise to all the different types of cells present in the cancer. The origins of these stem-like cancer cells are not entirely clear, and it has not bee...
متن کاملTractable models of self-sustaining autocatalytic networks
Self-sustaining autocatalytic networks play a central role in living systems, from metabolism at the origin of life, simple RNA networks, and the modern cell, to ecology and cognition. A collectively autocatalytic network that can be sustained from an ambient food set is also referred to more formally as a ‘Reflexively Autocatalytic F-generated’ (RAF) set. In this paper, we first investigate a ...
