Emergence of Genetic Coding: an Information-theoretic Model
Piraveenan, M.; Polani, D.; Prokopenko, M. (2007) -
Empowerment : An Introduction
Salge, Christoph; Glackin, Cornelius; Polani, D. (Springer Nature, 2014)This book chapter is an introduction to and an overview of the information-theoretic, task independent utility function "Empowerment", which is defined as the channel capacity between an agent's actions and an agent's ... -
Foundations and formalizations of self-organization
Polani, D. (Springer Nature, 2007)In the study of complex systems, the relevance of the phenomenon of self-organization is ubiquitous. For example the stripe formation in morphogenesis (Meinhardt 1972, 1982) reaction-diffusion automata (Turing 1952) the ... -
Modelling stigmergic gene transfer
Polani, D.; Prokopenko, M.; Chadwick, M. (MIT Press, 2008)We consider an information-theoretic model studying the conditions when a separation between the dynamics of a ’proto-cell’ and its proto-symbolic representation becomes beneficial in terms of preserving the proto-cell’s ... -
Optimizing Associative Information Transfer within Content-addressable Memory
Prokopenko, M.; Polani, D.; Wang, P. (2008) -
Optimizing Potential Information Transfer with Self-referential Memory
Prokopenko, M.; Polani, D.; Wang, P. (2006) -
Origins of scaling in genetic code
Obst, O.; Polani, D.; Prokopenko, M. (2011)The principle of least effort in communications has been shown, by Ferrer i Cancho and Sol´e, to explain emergence of power laws (e.g., Zipf’s law) in human languages. This paper applies the principle and the informationtheoretic ... -
Stigmergic gene transfer and emergence of universal coding
Prokopenko, M.; Polani, D.; Chadwick, M. (2009)We consider a simple information-theoretic model for evolutionary dynamics approaching the “coding threshold,” where the capacity to symbolically represent nucleic acid sequences emerges in response to a change in environmental ...
