Assume gains are private, but losses are shared. What happens if this rule governs a system of interacting open subsystems exchanging resources with the environment? The system will have a sharp, switch-like state transition. Check our new pre-print arxiv.org/abs/2512.22839

If I want to teach undergraduate students about driven non-equilibrium systems, which two toy models should I choose? The mathematics must be intuitive, and the simulations must be easy. What do you suggest? #statmech #physics #complexsystem #systemsbiology
🚨 New paper out in #JSTAT : non-reciprocal Ising spins:
🧲 "Vision-cone" interactions (no multi-species)
🔥 1st & 2nd order phase transitions
🌀 Anisotropic coarsening

One interesting consideration from E. Fox Keller @ #SelfOrganization lies in the comparison between #StatMech (disorganized complexity) and #Biology (organized complexity)

At its core, there is #Physics in #Biology but Biology is not Physics.
