Holographic principle tells why maximum entropy principle, lognormal distribution, self-preserving and self-organization appearing in system evolutions across science

Abstract

By applying the holographic principle that comes from black hole physics and information entropy (Sient) introduced by Claude Shannon, we derive the mechanism of similar patterns or tendencies appearing in evolution processes of different systems: maximum entropy principle, power law and lognormal distributions, self preserving and self organization. Taking a system of atmospheric particles as an example, we prove both self preserving and lognormal distribution patterns are caused by maximum information entropy principle (MIEP); By deducing thermodynamic entropy (Stent) is a form of Sient, and building up a particle system approaching a part of the holographic screen, the information probability statistics of particle number size distribution are realized on the holographic screen, resulting in the presence of information entropic force (Fient). Fient drives the system to evolve in the direction of MIEP. Owing to the initial state, the evolution can undergo an increasing Sient and enhanced discretization, or a decreasing Sient and weakened discretization. The latter process corresponds to the system evolution tendency of self organization; by introducing Fient into the flow field, the field for fluid system evolution is unified including Fient, Sient, the Newton potential, the diffusion process, and Navier Stokes equations, indicating that the atmospheric particle dynamics could be driven by Fient. By numerical simulations of particle collisions and coagulation based on the Smoluchowski equation, we prove the evolution of the particle system is indeed information distributing, inherited from the initial state, measured by information probability, evaluated by Sient, and driven by Fient. We further prove wave function for quantum mechanism also satisfies MIEP. The findings indicate holographic principle can guide system evolution towards certain desirable patterns and outcomes.

Universal sampling of spin systems across quenched disorder

Statistical physics extracts macroscopic laws by averaging over the many microscopic degrees of freedom of a system. Disordered systems demand a second and far harder average, one over the quenched randomness itself. The classic analytical routes, the replica and cavity methods, become uncontrolled outside mean-field or tree-like limits, and conventional numerical algorithms like parallel tempering require expensive, independent equilibration for every disorder realization. In this work, we introduce a universal neural variational framework that amortizes inference across the disorder ensemble, eliminating both the need for per-instance Markov chain equilibration and the cost of retraining instance-specific variational ansatzes. Built on an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture, after training once, it produces an explicit approximation to the Boltzmann distribution given previously unseen disorder realizations without further optimization. We validate this framework on 2D Edwards-Anderson models, and apply it to the random-bond Ising model, successfully capturing the Binder cumulant crossings near the Nishimori multicritical point. These results shift the object of variational inference from the single instance to the disorder ensemble, opening a route to frustrated many-body systems where instance-by-instance computation is prohibitive.

Information-Theoretic Characterization of Macroscopic Chaos Emerging from the Chemical Master Equation

Open chemical reaction networks exhibit stochastic concentration dynamics at finite system sizes, whereas their macroscopic limit is governed by deterministic rate equations that can display chaos. In this Letter, we show theoretically that a rate of information loss constructed from two-time mutual information recovers the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in the deterministic limit. We verify this result through numerical simulations of a Markov jump process for a three-species system involving seven reactions.

Orientational order on non-orientable domains

We study the statistical properties of passive and active many-body systems with orientational degrees of freedom on non-orientable domains. By rephrasing topological constraints as non-local symmetry relations on an orientable double-cover, we show that non-orientability eliminates global rotational soft modes without acting like an external field. In a passive XY model, this results in topological caging, where orientational fluctuations that exhibit conventional diffusive behavior on a torus saturate on a Klein bottle to a finite value that we compute exactly in the thermodynamic limit. In models of active self-propelled particles with orientational degrees of freedom, topological caging persists despite continuously changing interaction neighborhoods. In an active Ising spin model, non-orientability enforces the coexistence of ordered anti-parallel domains with vanishing global polar order, a state that is absent on orientable domains.
