Is Semantics Physical?!

It is demonstrated that under the hypothesis of boundedness, the semantics appears as a property of spontaneous physical processes. It turns that both semantic structure and semantic meaning have their own physical agents each of which is represented trough generic for the state space property. The boundedness sets an exclusive two-fold representation of a semantic unit: as a specific sequence of letters and as a performance of a specific engine so that their interplay serves as grounds for building a multi-layer hierarchy of semantic structures. It is established that in this setting the semantics admits both non-extensivity, permutation sensitivity and Zipf`s law. The robustness of the hierarchical organization of semantic structures is maintained by new generic form of non-local feedback that appears as a result of the necessary for sustaining boundeness matter wave emitting.Comment: 11 pp, no fi

Self-Organization and Finite Velocity of Transmitting Substance and Energy through Space-Time

The idea that the velocity of transmitting substance/energy trough space-time is to be bounded is a fundamental concept in the science. To the most surprise, it turns out that it is not always met. We demonstrate that the existing approaches to the self-organization, another major concept in the science, let the velocity of transmitting substance to be arbitrary. Further we prove that only the boundedness of the velocity is not enough to ensure the self-organization. That is why we develop radically novel approach to the macroscopic evolution that not only reconciles the self-organization and the velocity ansatz but in addition gives physically credible basis to phenomena like Feigenbaum cascade and fluctuation-assisted bifurcations.Comment: 10 pages, no figure

Coarse-Grained Structure of a Physical (Strange) Attractor. Analytical Solution

The structure of the physical and strange attractors is inherently associated with the boundedness of fluctuations. The idea behind the boundedness is that a stable long-term evolution of any natural and engineered system is possible if and only if the fluctuations that the system exerts are bounded so that the system permanently stays within its thresholds of stability. It has been established that the asymptotic structure of the physical and strange attractors is identical. Now it is found out that though the non-asymptotic behavior is universal it can be very different, namely: on coarse-graining the physical attractors can exhibit a variety of behavior while the strange attractors always have hyperuniversal properties. Yet, under certain levels of coarse-graining both physical and strange attractors match non-asymptotically a variety of noise type behavior.Comment: 7 pages, presented at 5-th Int.

Stochastic Thermodynamics and Dynamics: A Tail of Unexpected

The problem of the insensitivity of the macroscopic behavior of any thermodynamical system to partitioning generates a bias between the reproducibility of its macroscopic behavior viewed as the simplest form of causality and its long-term stability. The overcoming of this controversy goes through certain modification of the dynamics that involves self-assembling of the boundary conditions. Subsequently the proposed approach justifies parity between the increase and the decrease of the entropy which provides the ground for holistic understanding of the thermodynamical systems through launching their ability to transmit and create information that is sensitive to coherent functioning of self-assembled logical landscapes. The obtained sensitivity gives the advantage of this new approach compared to that of Shannon. According to his definition, the information depends only on the overall probability for realization of a given state(s) and thus it does not distinguish between functionally different states provided the overall probability for the realization of each of them is equal.Comment: 7 pages, novel approach to the securiiy of encrypting that comes out from the considerations in the paper is proposed in the revised versio

Sustainable Evolution in an Ever-Changing Environment: General Characterization

A complex interplay between the academic issue about generalization of the thermodynamics and the practical matter about setting standards for a sustainable evolution of both tailored devices and natural systems is considered. It is established that the measure for a sustainable evolution in an ever-changing environment appears as a Boltzmann-Gibbs weight. At the same time, this measure performs as a local thermodynamical potential which, at the expense of being released from the condition of entropy maximization, serves as grounds for a fundamental development of the idea of banning perpetuum mobile. It is proven that the best efficiency of each engine that operates reversibly never exceeds the efficiency of corresponding Carnot heat engine where the engine is free from necessity of a physical coupling to two heat reservoirs.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figur

Size-Independent Non-Equilibrium Fluctuations

A local quantum phenomenon that gives rise to generic for all surface reactions macroscopic fluctuations is studied. The issue is viewed with respect to the necessary conditions for a long-term stable evolution of any natural and artificial system. It is shown that global coupling of the local fluctuations is necessary for providing a long-term stability of the system. A successful coupling mechanism is achieved on the grounds of new assumptions about the Hamiltonian response to certain perturbations. The coupling mechanism acts towards a global synchronisation, i.e. to a coherent response of the excited species to any further perturbation. It is proven that the synchronisation is a scale-free process that has universal properties, e.g. it is insensitive to the chemical identity of the reacting species and to the particularities of the surface reaction. Its hallmark is that the global adsorption rate exhibits permanent temporal variations whose amplitude is independent of the system size. The presence of these fluctuations fundamentally changes the temporal behavior of the system, namely it becomes pulse-like both on the quantum and the macro-level. The pulse-like behavior gives rise to a persistent continuous band at the quantum spectra whose major properties are: (I) it does not correspond to any real radiation; (ii) its presence is insensitive to the particularities of the system and the incident radiation; (iii) its shape and the infrared edge are typical for the -type noise. These properties give rise to its name: alias -type noise.Comment: 22 pages, major revisio

Modelling of Desorption from Small Metal Clusters

It is found out that there are physical effects, typical of small metal clusters deposited on a non-adsorbing support, that cause a difference between the adsorption properties of sites at the metal cluster surface and those of sites at the boundary of metal-support. This difference gives rise to an extra band in the IR spectra of the adsorbate whose major property is that its intensity changes with cluster size. The migration of chemisorbed molecules (atoms, ions) and molecules (atoms, ions) in any excited state over adsorption sites of different type results in changes in the state of the molecule (atom, ion) since the latter adjusts its state to the set of levels of another type of site. This can be described figuratively as a transformation of the type of adsorption site. Thus, a single type of adsorption site, called next surface effective site (SES), is formed. The energy of desorption from SES site retains an explicit dependence on the metal cluster size. A simulation of TPD spectra of oxygen desorption from small Pt clusters deposited on NaX zeolite was carried out. A comparison to experimental TPD spectra obtained by Jaeger and co-workers for the same system is made.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure

Boundedness and Self-Organized Semantics: on the Best Survvival Strategy in an Ever-Changing Environment

General criterion for best efficiency of the interaction of a complex system with an ever-changing environment is derived. Its exclusive property, set by boundedness, is that the highly non-trivial interplay between parameters that participate in it renders the best survival strategy to go via non-extensive hierarchical super-structuring of the semantic-like response.Comment: 14 pages, no figure
