One of the central concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a
given computation depend on that computation. Moreover, one of the major resource …

Cybernetics is the study of goal-directed systems that self-regulate via feedback, a category
that includes human beings. Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T) attempts to explain …

The principle goal of computational mechanics is to define pattern and structure so that the
organization of complex systems can be detected and quantified. Computational mechanics …

Information processing typically occurs via the composition of modular units, such as the
universal logic gates found in discrete computation circuits. The benefit of modular …

Central to the success of adaptive systems is their ability to interpret signals from their
environment and respond accordingly—they act as agents interacting with their …

We present a benchmark study of autonomous, chemical agents exhibiting associative
learning of an environmental feature. Associative learning systems have been widely …

Information engines can use structured environments as a resource to generate work by
randomizing ordered inputs and leveraging the increased Shannon entropy to transfer …

We model a class of discrete-time information ratchet with a finite tape and explore its
thermodynamic consequence as a Maxwell demon. We found that, although it supports the …

Stochastic modeling is an essential component of the quantitative sciences, with hidden
Markov models (HMMs) often playing a central role. Concurrently, the rise of quantum …

With the finite-tape autonomous information ratchet modeled by He et al.[Phys. Rev. E 105,
054131 (2022) 2470-0045 10.1103/PhysRevE. 105.054131], we recast the information …
