A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...
