Contribution
It introduces a novel model of genomics using complexity as energy within a constructive statistical mechanics framework, linking physical principles to biological evolution.
Findings
Proposes a model connecting complexity and energy in genomics.
Discusses scaling laws in genomics in relation to Zipf's law.
Provides a physical model for Eugene Koonin's Third Evolutionary Synthesis.
Abstract
Yuri Manin's approach to Zipf's law (Kolmogorov complexity as energy) is applied to investigation of biological evolution. Model of constructive statistical mechanics where complexity is a contribution to energy is proposed to model genomics. Scaling laws in genomics are discussed in relation to Zipf's law. This gives a model of Eugene Koonin's Third Evolutionary Synthesis (physical model which should describe scaling in genomics).
