Rate distortion coevolutionary dynamics and the flow nature of cognitive epigenetic systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We outline a model for a cognitive epigenetic system based on elements of the Shannon theory of information and the statistical physics of the generalized Onsager relations. Particular attention is paid to the concept of the rate distortion function and from another direction as motivated by the thermodynamics of computing, the fundamental homology with the free energy density of a physical system. A unifying aspect of the dynamic framework involves the concept of a groupoid and of a groupoid atlas. From a stochastic differential equation we postulate a multidimensional Itô process for an epigenetic system from which a stochastic flow may permeate through components of this atlas.

We argue that mesoscale ecosystem resilience shifts akin to sudden phase transitions in physical systems can entrain similarly punctuated events of gene expression on more rapid time scales, and, in part through such means, slower changes induced by selection pressure, triggering punctuated equilibrium Darwinian evolutionary transitions on geologic time scales. The approach reduces ecosystem, g...
