The study focuses on exploring the concept of negative entropy flow in cyclones and investigates potential applying quantum-inspired approaches to better understand estimate negentropy these complex systems. By incorporating principles from quantum mechanics, such as second law thermodynamics Gibbs energy, we aim improve accuracy predictions for cyclones. Classical methods estimating flow, Shan...

I present a new approach for the interpretation of reaction time (RT) data from behavioral experiments. From a physical perspective, the entropy of the RT distribution provides a model-free estimate of the amount of processing performed by the cognitive system. In this way, the focus is shifted from the conventional interpretation of individual RTs being either long or short, into their distrib...

This paper identiies how object models, statecharts and interaction diagrams can be given a semantics in the Object Calculus of Fiadeiro and Maibaum. A compositional interpretation of object model and statechart diagrams is developed, with separate theories constructed for object instances, class managers and associations which are then combined using categorical constructions to yield a formal...

We study the thermodynamics of the large N non-commutative super Yang-Mills theory in the strong ’t Hooft coupling limit in the spirit of AdS/CFT correspondence. Although the thermodynamic quantities of nearextremal D3-branes with NS B fields, which are dual gravity configurations of the non-commutative N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory, are the same as those without B fields, there are some differ...

We consider an online matrix prediction problem. FTRL is a standard method to deal with online prediction tasks, which makes predictions by minimizing the cumulative loss function and the regularizer function. There are three popular regularizer functions for matrices, Frobenius norm, negative entropy and log-determinant. We propose an FTRL based algorithm with log-determinant as the regularize...

This paper proposes an approach to environmental accounting useful for studying the feasibility of socio-economic systems in relation to the external constraints posed by ecological compatibility. The approach is based on a multi-scale analysis of the metabolic pattern of ecosystems and societies and it provides an integrated characterization of the resulting interaction. The text starts with a...

Synergy is often defined as the creation of a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. It is found at all levels of organization in physics, chemistry, biology, social sciences, and the arts. Synergy occurs in open irreversible thermodynamic systems making it difficult to quantify. Negative entropy or negentropy (N) has been related to order and complexity, and so has work efficiency, i...

Using first principles, we establish in this paper a connection between the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator and the variational formulation of optimizing a given functional subject to some noise constraints. A MAP estimator which uses a Markov or a maximum entropy random field model for a prior distribution can be viewed as a minimizer of a variational problem. Using notions from robust st...

We consider a higher derivative gravity theory in four dimensions with a negative cosmological constant and show that vacuum solutions of both Lifshitz type and Schrödinger type with arbitrary dynamical exponent z exist in this system. Then we find an analytic black hole solution which asymptotes to the vacuum Lifshitz solution with z = 3/2 at a specific value of the coupling constant. We analy...

Life originated from unicellular organisms by circumventing the Second Law of Thermodynamics using the First Principles of Physiology, namely negentropy, chemiosmosis and homeostatic regulation of calcium and lipids. It is hypothesized that multicellular organisms are merely contrivances or tools, used by unicellular organisms as agents for the acquisition of epigenetic inheritance. The First P...
