| Publisher Description: The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories. The focus is on statistical mechanics and other models that explore pathological phase transitions -- driven by changes in available rates of mitochondrial free energy -- in physiological functions, a cutting-edge topic in the study of chronic disease. One of the key focuses is Alzheimer's disease -- a relatively simple canonical example. |
