Quasi-Equilibrium States and Phase Transitions in Biological Evolution
EntropyWe developed a macroscopic description of the evolutionary dynamics by following the temporal dynamics of the total Shannon entropy of sequences, denoted by S, and the average Hamming distance between them, denoted by H. We argue that a biological system

BIOLOGY AND THE SOCIAL SCIENCES
Zygon, 1990 . The sciences may be conceptualized as a hierarchy ranked by level of organization (e.g., many‐body physics ranks above particle physics). Each science serves as an antidiscipline for the science above it; that is, between each pair, tense but creative

Autocatalysis as The Natural Philosophy Underlying Complexity and Biological Evolution [PDF]
The importance and different aspects of autocatalysis in evolution was analyzed. The behaviour of autocatalytic reactions mainly the Lotka-Volterra and the Schlögl equations were discussed in terms of phase change, entropy, and their oscillation ...

On the emergence and evolution of artificial cell signaling networks [PDF]
, 2007 This PhD project is concerned with the evolution of Cell Signaling Networks (CSNs) in silico. CSNs are complex biochemical networks responsible for the coordination of cellular activities.
