Semantic Information Theory (SIT) offers a new approach to evaluating the information architecture of complex systems. In this study we describe the steps required to {it operationalize} SIT via its application to dynamical problems. Our road map has four steps: (1) separating the dynamical system into agent-environment sub-systems; (2) choosing an appropriate coarse graining and quantifying correlations; (3) identifying a measure of viability; (4) implementing a scrambling protocol and measuring the semantic content. We apply the road map to a model inspired by the neural dynamics of epileptic seizures whereby an agent (a control process) attempts to maintain an environment (a base process) in a desynchronized state. The synchronization dynamics is studied through the well-known Kuramoto model of phase synchronization. Our application of SIT to this problem reveals new features of both semantic information and the Kuramoto model. For the latter we find articulating the correlational structure for agent and environment(the oscillators), allows us to cast the model in in a novel computational (information theoretic) perspective, where the agent-environment dynamics can be thought of as analyzing a communication channel. For the former we find that all the information in our system is semantic. This is in contrast to previous SIT studies of foragers in which semantic thresholds where seen above which no further semantic content was obtained.
语义信息论(SIT)为评估复杂系统的信息架构提供了一种新方法。在本研究中,我们描述了将 SIT 应用于动态问题所需的步骤。通过将SIT应用于动态问题所需的步骤。我们的路线图有四个步骤:(1)将动态系统分离为人-环境子系统;(2)选择适当的粗粒度并量化相关性;(3)确定可行性度量;(4)实施扰码协议并测量语义内容。我们将路线图应用到一个受癫痫发作神经动力学启发的模型中,在该模型中,代理(控制过程)试图将环境(基础过程)维持在非同步状态。同步动力学通过著名的仓本相位同步模型进行研究。我们将 SIT 应用于这一问题,揭示了语义信息和仓本模型的新特征。对于后者,我们发现将代理和环境(振荡器)的相关结构衔接起来,可以将模型置于一个新颖的计算(信息论)视角中,代理-环境动力学可以被视为对通信通道的分析。对于前者,我们发现我们系统中的所有信息都是语义信息。这与之前对觅食者进行的 SIT 研究形成了鲜明对比,在之前的研究中,我们看到了语义阈值,超过这个阈值就无法获得更多语义内容。

Many natural, living and engineered systems display oscillations that are characterized by multiple timescales. Typically, such systems are described as slow-fast systems, where the slow dynamics result from a hyperbolic slow manifold that guides the movement of the system trajectories. Recently, we have provided an alternative description in which the slow dynamics result from a non-hyperbolic and Lyapunov-unstable attracting sets from connected dynamical ghosts that form a closed orbit (termed ghost cycles). Here we investigate the response properties of both type of systems to external forcing. Using the classical Van-der-Pol oscillator and two modified versions of this model that correspond to a 1-ghost and a 2-ghost cycle, respectively, we find that ghost cycles are characterized by significant increase especially in the 1:1 entrainment regions as demonstrated by the corresponding Arnold tongues and exhibit richer dynamics (bursting, chaos) in contrast to the classical slow-fast system. Phase plane analysis reveals that these features result from the continuous remodeling of the attractor landscape of the ghost cycles models characteristic for non-autonomous systems, whereas the attractor landscape of the corresponding slow-fast system remains qualitatively unaltered. We propose that systems containing ghost cycles display increased flexibility and responsiveness to continuous environmental changes.

Ensembles of coupled nonlinear oscillators are a popular paradigm and an ideal benchmark for analyzing complex collective behaviors. The onset of cluster synchronization is found to be at the core of various technological and biological processes. The current literature has investigated cluster synchronization by focusing mostly on the case of attractive coupling among the oscillators. However, the case of two coexisting competing interactions is of practical interest due to their relevance in diverse natural settings, including neuronal networks consisting of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, the coevolving social model with voters of opposite opinions, ecological plant communities with both facilitation and competition, to name a few. In the present article, we investigate the impact of repulsive spanning trees on cluster formation within a connected network of attractively coupled limit cycle oscillators. We successfully predict which nodes belong to each cluster and the emergent frustration of the connected networks independent of the particular local dynamics at the network nodes. We also determine local asymptotic stability of the cluster states using an approach based on the formulation of a master stability function. We additionally validate the emergence of solitary states and antisynchronization for some specific choices of spanning trees and networks.

Recognising changes in collective dynamics in complex systems is essential for predicting potential events and their development. Possessing intrinsic attractors with laws associated with scale invariance, self-organised critical dynamics represent a suitable example for quantitatively studying changes in collective behaviour. We consider two prototypal models of self-organised criticality, the sandpile automata with deterministic (Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld) and probabilistic (Manna model) dynamical rules, focusing on the nature of stress fluctuations induced by driving - adding grains during the avalanche propagation, and dissipation through avalanches that hit the system boundary. Our analysis of stress evolution time series reveals robust cycles modulated by collective fluctuations with dissipative avalanches. These modulated cycles are multifractal within a broad range of time scales. Features of the associated singularity spectra capture the differences in the dynamic rules behind the self-organised critical states and their response to the increased driving rate, altering the process stochasticity and causing a loss of avalanche scaling. In the related sequences of outflow current, the first return distributions are found to follow modified laws that describe different pathways to the gradual loss of cooperative behaviour in these two models. The spontaneous appearance of cycles is another characteristic of self-organised criticality. It can also help identify the prominence of self-organisational phenomenology in an empirical time series when underlying interactions and driving modes remain hidden.

The analysis of glioblastoma (GB) cell locomotion and its modeling inspired by Levy random walks is presented herein. We study such walks occurring on a two-dimensional plane where the walk is similar to the motion of a bird flying with a constant velocity, but with random changes of direction in time. The intelligence of the bird is signaled by the instantaneous changes of flying direction, which become invisible in the time series obtained by projecting the 2D walk either on the x axis or the y axis. We establish that the projected 1D time series share the statistical complexity of time series frequently used to monitor physiological processes, shedding light on the role of crucial events (CE-s) in pathophysiology. Such CE-s are signified by abrupt changes of flying direction which are invisible in the 1D physiological time series. We establish a connection between the complex scaling index delta generated by the CE-s through mu_{R} = 2 - delta , where mu_{R} is the inverse power law index of the probability density function of the time interval between consecutive failures of the process of interest. We argue that the identification of empirical indices along with their theoretical relations afford important measures to control cancer.
本文受列维随机漫步的启发,分析了胶质母细胞瘤(GB)细胞的运动及其建模。我们研究的是发生在二维平面上的随机行走,这种行走类似于鸟类的匀速直线飞行,但在飞行过程中会随机改变方向。鸟的智能通过飞行方向的瞬时变化来体现,而这种变化在将二维行走投影到 x 轴或 y 轴后得到的时间序列中是不可见的。我们发现,投影的一维时间序列与常用来监测生理过程的时间序列具有相同的统计复杂性,从而揭示了关键事件(CE-s)在病理生理学中的作用。这种关键事件的标志是飞行方向的突然改变,而这种改变在一维生理时间序列中是不可见的。我们通过 mu_{R} = 2 - delta 建立了由 CE-sthrough 生成的复缩放指数 delta 之间的联系,其中 mu_{R} 是相关过程连续失败之间时间间隔的概率密度函数的反幂律指数。我们认为,经验指数的确定及其理论关系为控制癌症提供了重要措施。

Developing reliable mechanisms for continuous local learning is a central challenge faced by biological and artificial systems. Yet, how the environmental factors and structural constraints on the learning network influence the optimal plasticity mechanisms remains obscure even for simple settings. To elucidate these dependencies, we study meta-learning via evolutionary optimization of simple reward-modulated plasticity rules in embodied agents solving a foraging task. We show that unconstrained meta-learning leads to the emergence of diverse plasticity rules. However, regularization and bottlenecks to the model help reduce this variability, resulting in interpretable rules. Our findings indicate that the meta-learning of plasticity rules is very sensitive to various parameters, with this sensitivity possibly reflected in the learning rules found in biological networks. When included in models, these dependencies can be used to discover potential objective functions and details of biological learning via comparisons with experimental observations.

Decisions to disperse from a habitat stand out among organismal behaviors as pivotal drivers of ecosystem dynamics across scales. Encounters with other species are an important component of adaptive decision-making in dispersal, resulting in widespread behaviors like tracking resources or avoiding consumers in space. Despite this, metacommunity models often treat dispersal as a function of intraspecific density alone. We show, focusing initially on three-species network motifs, that interspecific dispersal rules generally drive a transition in metacommunities from homogeneous steady states to self-organized heterogeneous spatial patterns. However, when ecologically realistic constraints reflecting adaptive behaviors are imposed -- prey tracking and predator avoidance -- a pronounced homogenizing effect emerges where spatial pattern formation is suppressed. We demonstrate this effect for each motif by computing master stability functions that separate the contributions of local and spatial interactions to pattern formation. We extend this result to species rich food webs using a random matrix approach, where we find that eventually webs become large enough to override the homogenizing effect of adaptive dispersal behaviors, leading once again to predominately pattern forming dynamics. Our results emphasize the critical role of interspecific dispersal rules in shaping spatial patterns across landscapes, highlighting the need to incorporate adaptive behavioral constraints in efforts to link local species interactions and metacommunity structure.

Predicting and understanding the chaotic dynamics in complex systems is essential in various applications. However, conventional approaches, whether full-scale simulations or small-scale omissions, fail to offer a comprehensive solution. This instigates exploration into whether modeling or omitting small-scale dynamics could benefit from the well-captured large-scale dynamics. In this paper, we introduce a novel methodology called Neural Downscaling (ND), which integrates neural operator techniques with the principles of inertial manifold and nonlinear Galerkin theory. ND effectively infers small-scale dynamics within a complementary subspace from corresponding large-scale dynamics well-represented in a low-dimensional space. The effectiveness and generalization of the method are demonstrated on the complex systems governed by the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky and Navier-Stokes equations. As the first comprehensive deterministic model targeting small-scale dynamics, ND sheds light on the intricate spatiotemporal nonlinear dynamics of complex systems, revealing how small-scale dynamics are intricately linked with and influenced by large-scale dynamics.

We present experimental results on the single file motion of a group of robots interacting with each other through position sensors. We successfully replicate the fundamental diagram typical of these systems, with a transition from free flow to congested traffic as the density of the system increases. In the latter scenario we also observe the characteristic stop-and-go waves. The unique advantages of this novel system, such as experimental stability and repeatability, allow for extended experimental runs, facilitating a comprehensive statistical analysis of the global dynamics. Above a certain density, we observe a divergence of the average jam duration and the average number of robots involved in it. This discovery enables us to precisely identify another transition: from congested intermittent flow (for intermediate densities) to a totally congested scenario for high densities. Beyond this finding, the present work demonstrates the suitability of robot swarms to model complex behaviors in many particle systems.

The Kuramoto model and its generalizations have been broadly employed to characterize and mechanistically understand various collective dynamical phenomena, especially the emergence of synchrony among coupled oscillators. Despite almost five decades of research, many questions remain open, in particular for finite-size systems. Here, we generalize recent work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 187201 (2023)] on the finite-size Kuramoto model with its state variables analytically continued to the complex domain and also complexify its system parameters. Intriguingly, systems of two units with purely imaginary coupling do not actively synchronize even for arbitrarily large magnitudes of the coupling strengths, $|K| rightarrow infty$, but exhibit conservative dynamics with asynchronous rotations or librations for all $|K|$. For generic complex coupling, both, traditional phase-locked states and asynchronous states generalize to complex locked states, fixed points off the real subspace that exist even for arbitrarily weak coupling. We analyze a new collective mode of rotations exhibiting finite, yet arbitrarily large winding numbers. Numerical simulations for large networks indicate a novel form of discontinuous phase transition. We close by pointing to a range of exciting questions for future research.
