    • Measuring Time with Minimal Clocks 

      Polani, Daniel; Nehaniv, Chrystopher; Salge, Christoph; Robu, Andrei (2019-11-01)
      Being able to measure time, whether directly or indirectly, is a significant advantage for an organism. It allows for timely reaction to regular or predicted events, reducing the pressure for fast processing of sensory ...

    • Time as It Could Be Measured in Artificial Living Systems 

      Robu, Andrei; Polani, Daniel (MIT Press, 2017-09-04)
      Being able to measure time, whether directly or indirectly, is a significant advantage for an organism. It permits it to predict regular events, and prepare for them on time. Thus, clocks are ubiquitous in biology. In the ...

    • Time-keeping with Limited Clocks 

      Robu, Andrei; Polani, Daniel (2015-07-24)
      We study the problem of measuring time given strongly limited resources using Markov chains interpreted as clocks. More precisely, we assume the existence of an accurate short-scale time tick and are interested how to ...
