Adaptive efficiency of information processing in immune-pathogen co-evolution
Quinn Bellamy, Zachary Montague, Luca Peliti, Armita Nourmohammad
The paper introduces a formalism to analyze co-evolutionary arms races between immune systems and pathogens, showing how information exchange rates and entropy production can identify leaders and followers, and defines co-evolutionary efficiency as a metric for information exploitation.
