标题： Information bounds production in replicator systems

摘要： 我们研究能够以功能方式使用信息的最小复制系统。 具体而言，我们考虑在波动环境中受流动反应器影响的自催化复制系统的种群。 我们从信息论量的角度推导出复制系统生产的操作界限，反映了环境不确定性、辅助信息和分布不匹配的贡献。 我们还推导出最优策略，该策略作为内在复制参数和环境统计量的函数来表达。 我们将我们的发现与现有的信息理论形式如凯利赌博进行比较和对比。 结果在一个现实世界的自组装分子复制模型中得到说明。 对于这个系统，我们展示了在具有时间相关性的环境中内部记忆的优势，并提出了一个可能的实验设置来检测功能信息的特征。 我们简要讨论了信息处理在引导前生物复制网络进化中的作用。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We investigate minimal replicator systems that are able to use information in a functional manner. Specifically, we consider a population of autocatalytic replicators in a flow reactor, subject to fluctuating environments. We derive operational bounds on replicators production in terms of information-theoretic quantities, reflecting contributions from environmental uncertainty, side information, and distribution mismatch. We also derive the optimal strategy, expressed as a function of both intrinsic replicator parameters and environmental statistics. We compare and contrast our findings with existing information-theoretic formalisms such as Kelly gambling. The results are illustrated on a model of real-world self-assembled molecular replicators. For this system, we demonstrate the benefit of internal memory in environments with temporal correlations, and we propose a plausible experimental setup for detecting the signature of functional information. We briefly discuss the role that information processing may play in guiding the evolution of prebiotic replicator networks.
