Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the invasion percolation (IP) in imperfect support in which the configuration of imperfections is considered to be correlated. Three lattice models were engaged to realize this pattern: site percolation, Ising model and random Coulomb potential (RCP). The first two models are short range interaction (SRI), whereas the last one includes coulomb like interactions which is pretty long range (long-range interactions, LRI). By examining various dynamical observables we show that the critical exponents of SRI IP are robust against the control parameters (temperature in the Ising model and occupation probability in site percolation), whereas its properties in the LRI (RCP) supports are completely different from the normal IP (i.e. on the regular lattice). Especially the fractal dimension of the external frontier of the largest hole converges to $1.099\pm 0.008$ for RCP IP, whereas it is nearly $\frac{4}{3}$ for SRI IP being compatible with normal IP. Additionally a novel dynamical crossover is seen in the RCP IP according to which the time dependence of all of the observables is divided to three parts: the power-law (small times), the logarithmic (mid time), and the linear (long time) regimes. The second crossover time is shown to go to infinity in the thermodynamic limit, whereas the first crossover time is nearly unchanged, signaling the dominance of the logarithmic regime. The observables become nearly constant in the thermodynamic limit for the long time, showing that it is a stationary phase.

Information geometry of perturbed gradient flow systems on hypergraphs: A perspective towards nonequilibrium physics

This article serves to concisely review the link between gradient flow systems on hypergraphs and information geometry which has been established within the last five years. Gradient flow systems describe a wealth of physical phenomena and provide powerful analytical technquies which are based on the variational energy-dissipation principle. Modern nonequilbrium physics has complemented this classical principle with thermodynamic uncertaintly relations, speed limits, entropy production rate decompositions, and many more. In this article, we formulate these modern principles within the framework of perturbed gradient flow systems on hypergraphs. In particular, we discuss the geometry induced by the Bregman divergence, the physical implications of dual foliations, as well as the corresponding infinitesimal Riemannian geometry for gradient flow systems. Through the geometrical perspective, we are naturally led to new concepts such as moduli spaces for perturbed gradient flow systems and thermodynamical area which is crucial for understanding speed limits. We hope to encourage the readers working in either of the two fields to further expand on and foster the interaction between the two fields.

Kinetic Interference in Translational Control: A Path-Measure Framework for Collision-Triggered Transcript Decay

I connect two literatures developed independently: the path-measure formulation of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, where a trajectory action decomposes into a time-antisymmetric (entropic) and time-symmetric (frenetic) sector, and the stochastic modelling of ribosomal traffic on messenger RNA. The biological target is a proposed intervention -- antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) interference with wobble-uridine (U34) modification of transfer RNA -- whose intended effect is not to abolish translation but to perturb its timing, driving ribosome collisions and collision-triggered transcript decay preferentially on high-flux, codon-biased transcripts. Dynamical-activity and large-deviation analyses of generic lattice exclusion models -- notably the symmetric and totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes -- are well established. To my knowledge their formalization specifically for ribosomal traffic queues, translation elongation, and collision-triggered no-go decay remains unoccupied; this paper addresses that narrower gap, not the general one. Two claims here are load-bearing and untested. First, selectivity: transcripts whose loss is therapeutically desirable are separable, by vulnerable-codon-pair burden, from transcripts whose loss is toxic. Second, non-redundancy: the frenetic decomposition yields predictions, specific to ribosomal queueing and collision-triggered decay, not already obtainable from rate-level exclusion-process models or existing activity/large-deviation analyses of exclusion processes. This paper establishes neither. It specifies both as falsifiable tests with pre-registered decision rules, including outcomes under which the framework should be abandoned or narrowed. It is a research programme proposal, not a result. No new experimental, computational, or bioinformatic results are reported.

Thermodynamic efficiency of communication channels

We identify a broad class of communication channels that captures common physical constraints in both artificial and natural systems and derive bounds on their thermodynamic cost. We find that the entropy production per channel use is bounded from below by the input-output mutual information, and their ratio -mutual information divided by entropy production- defines the thermodynamic efficiency. Unlike previous studies of energy-constrained communication channels, our analysis shows that thermodynamic costs must be assigned not only to the input symbols themselves, but also to transitions between successive symbols. As a result, maximizing thermodynamic efficiency favors a biased input that switches only rarely, rather than the capacity-achieving input. For the binary symmetric channel, this preference emerges through a pitchfork bifurcation that spontaneously breaks the symmetry of the channel. A minimal model of cellular sensing exhibits the same phenomenon.
