Recent advances in fields ranging from cosmology to computer science have hinted at a
possible deep connection between intelligence and entropy maximization, but no formal …

The asymmetry in the flow of events that is expressed by the phrase 'time's arrow'traces back
to the second law of thermodynamics. In the microscopic regime, fluctuations prevent us …

Is Maximum Entropy Production (MEP) a physical principle? In this paper I tentatively
suggest it is not, on the basis that MEP is equivalent to Jaynes' Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) …

Abstract In 1929, Leó Szilárd invented a feedback protocol in which a hypothetical
intelligence—dubbed Maxwell's demon—pumps heat from an isothermal environment and …

We discuss a possibility that the entire universe on its most fundamental level is a neural
network. We identify two different types of dynamical degrees of freedom:“trainable” …

Physical systems powering motion and creating structure in a fixed amount of time dissipate
energy and produce entropy. Whether living, synthetic or engineered, systems performing …

The heat generated by computations is not only an obstacle to circuit miniaturization but also
a fundamental aspect of the relationship between information theory and thermodynamics …

Statistical mechanics is based on the interplay between energy and entropy. Here we
formalize this interplay via axiomatic bargaining theory (a branch of cooperative game …

Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information,
which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. By contrast, the concept …

Entropy is a powerful tool for quantification of the brain function and its information
processing capacity. This is evident in its broad domain of applications that range from …
