Observing the Transformation of Bodily Self-consciousness in the Squeeze-machine Experiment

How is our bodily self-consciousness acquired, and how does it affect cognition? To investigate this, we conducted an experiment using the squeeze ...

Recent findings demonstrate that chromatin is functionally compartmentalized and packed into three dimensional multi-hierarchical structures that influence gene expression patterns. Using lattice theory tools we compare lattice representation of unstructured DNA, as identified in early-embryo phase, with compartmentalized DNA, as found in later embryo phases and in differentiated cells. By comparing these two representations we show that corresponding contact maps have elementary diagonal structure (unstructured DNA) and block diagonal structure (compartmentalized DNA). We show that a lattice corresponding to the binary relation with block diagonal structure is a product of so called Chinese lantern lattice. In contrast to Boolean lattice, formation of words in Chinese lantern lattice is highly restricted which is comparable to emergence of DNA compartmentalization during embryogenesis.

Embryogenic remodeling of global chromatin and its role on structure of corresponding lattice representation.

Animals making a group sometimes approach and sometimes avoid a dense area of group mates, and that reveals the ambiguity of density preference. Although the ambiguity is not expressed by a simple deterministic local rule, it seems to be implemented by probabilistic inference that is based on Bayesian and inverse Bayesian inference. In particular, the inverse Bayesian process refers to perpetual changing of hypotheses. We here analyse a time series of swarming soldier crabs and show that they are employed to Bayesian and inverse Bayesian inference. Comparing simulation results with data of the real swarm, we show that the interpretation of the movement of soldier crabs which can be based on the inference can lead to the identification of a drastic phase shift-like transition of gathering and dispersing.This article is part of the theme issue 'Dissipative structures in matter out of equilibrium: from chemistry, photonics and biology (part 2)'.
