Thermodynamic limits on disturbance-rejection authority in constrained Markov networks: instantaneous contraction and finite-reservoir exhaustion

Thermodynamic limits on disturbance-rejection authority in constrained Markov networks: instantaneous contraction and finite-reservoir exhaustion. We distinguish two physically separate mechanisms that limit disturbance rejection in a constrained Markov system maintained near act...

Horizon-optimal allocation of finite thermodynamic support in redundantly supported constrained Markov networks

Horizon-optimal allocation of finite thermodynamic support in redundantly supported constrained Markov networks. When multiple physical support channels can realize the same present active-face requirement while drawing from different finite reservoirs, the allocation of throughp...

Non-identifiability of first-exit mechanisms under state-only observation

An independently characterized undriven Markov model may predict first exit from an admissible region at a time that differs from the observed exit. We ask what such a discrepancy identifies about the underlying physical mechanism. For finite-state continuous-time Markov chains,...
