Description
The internal state of living systems, from single proteins
to whole cells and organisms, needs to respond to the state
of their environment. At odds with physical systems, the
Hamiltonian of living systems is shaped by evolution in
order to make this interaction optimal.
Within a highly stylized model, I shall describe systems
whose internal state is maximally informative about the
state of the environment, and compare them to normal
physical systems.
