Information theory and mitochondrial dysfunction

Wallace Rodrick’s monograph connects information and control theory with models of biological dysfunction. It applies topological symmetry tools and invokes a Black-Scholes model of the Data Rate Theorem, then uses statistical mechanics and related models to examine pathological phase transitions associated with changes in the rates of mitochondrial free energy available to physiological functions. Chronic disease provides the broader context, with Alzheimer’s disease serving as a central example. The book’s 151-page scope makes this a focused treatment of the conceptual and modeling links it identifies, rather than a general survey of diseases.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in theoretical approaches to chronic disease and physiology.
  • Readers studying information theory, control theory, or statistical mechanics in biological contexts.
  • Readers seeking a focused discussion that includes Alzheimer’s disease as an example.

Book overview

The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories. The focus is on statistical mechanics and other models that explore pathological phase transitions -- driven by changes in available rates of mitochondrial free energy -- in physiological functions, a cutting-edge topic in the study of chronic disease. One of the key focuses is Alzheimer's disease -- a relatively simple canonical example.
