Biological and Engineered Computational Systems

In the paper's words

This work establishes the categorical equivalence between biological and engineered computational systems through an explicit mathematical formalism. The central thesis posits that these seemingly disparate domains implement equivalent computational architectures, an equivalence that manifests through precise mathematical isomorphisms in energy management, information processing, and topological protection. Historical paradigms, including von Neumann architectures and conventional quantum computing, are shown to be special cases within this unified framework.

1. The decision threshold is dynamically set based on a first-passage time analysis for a drift-diffusion process to achieve a 99.9% detection accuracy with a calculated 1000-fold reduction in average power consumption compared to a conventional, continuously-on sensing system.

2. The algorithm continuously adjusts the impedance of each harvesting circuit to track the maximum power point for the current environmental conditions (light and vibration), achieving an overall energy efficiency of 92%, which is within 5% of the theoretical maximum for the given components.

How it is done

1. As established by Landauer’s principle, the irreversible erasure of a single bit of information must dissipate a minimum quantity of heat ($k_B T \ln(2)$), a constraint that becomes prohibitive as logic gates approach atomic dimensions (Landauer, 1961).

2. Thesis Statement and Novel Contributions This framework provides the first $(\infty )$-categorical proof of biological-engineered computational equivalence, establishing a rigorous mathematical foundation that transcends previous qualitative comparisons.

   from 1.2 Formal

3. Within this context, the $\infty$-categorical Yoneda lemma serves as a powerful tool, providing a complete and abstract characterization of computational equivalence.

4. This approach rigorously enforces the principles of locality and compositionality, ensuring that the global behavior of a complex system is determined entirely by the coherent composition of its local parts.

What would falsify it

1. Finally, their robustness must be tested against biological benchmarks.

Where the claim stops

1. For physical systems that cannot achieve perfect, instantaneous self-modeling, iterative approximation schemes are developed.

2. Proof of Completeness : By the Yoneda Lemma, $X_1 \simeq X_2$ if and only if $Y(X_1) \simeq Y(X_2)$.

3. Therefore, two systems are equivalent if and only if they are indistinguishable from the perspective of any possible interaction or observation that can be performed within the computational universe Comp .
