Abstract
A thermodynamically motivated neural network model is described that self-organizes to transport charge associated with internal and external potentials while in contact with a thermal reservoir. The model integrates techniques for rapid, large-scale, reversible, conservative equilibration of node states and slow, small-scale, irreversible, dissipative adaptation of the edge states as a means to create multiscale order. All interactions in the network are local and the network structures can be generic and recurrent. Isolated networks show multiscale dynamics, and externally driven networks evolve to efficiently connect external positive and negative potentials. The model integrates concepts of conservation, potentiation, fluctuation, dissipation, adaptation, equilibration and causation to illustrate the thermodynamic evolution of organization in open systems. A key conclusion of the…
