# gst: localization of active particles on random arrays of parallel filaments.

<< ️Quenched disorder in the environment can fundamentally alter transport dynamics in both active and passive systems. (AA) explore how disordered arrays of filaments govern the distribution of intermittently moving particles which switch between diffusive and processive transport. >>

<<️ Motivated by the mixed-polarity arrangements of parallel microtubules observed in mammalian dendrites, (They) show that such arrays tend to result in localization of particles at regions of convergent filament orientation. In the rapid attachment-detachment limit, the disordered system can be described by a noisy one-dimensional effective energy landscape, whose structure is approximated by a random walk. >>

<< ️The depth and width of wells on this landscape are expressed as a function of the transport kinetics and system geometry. Localization is shown to be strongest at intermediate run-lengths, where biased transport persists long enough to sense the quenched filament polarity but not so long as to facilitate escape from local traps. >>

<< ️These (AA) results demonstrate robust localization of particles moving on random filament networks, highlighting the emergent spatial organization that arises from an interplay of active transport and quenched disorder. >>

# gst: effective synchronization amid noise-induced chaos.

<< ️Two remote agents with synchronized clocks may use them to act in concert and communicate. This necessitates some means of creating and maintaining synchrony. One method, not requiring any direct interaction between the agents, is to expose them to a common, environmental, stochastic forcing. This “noise-induced synchronization” occurs only under sufficiently mild forcing; stronger forcing disrupts synchronization. >>

<< ️(AA) investigate the regime of strong noise, where the clocks' relative phases evolve chaotically. Using a simple realization of disruptive noise, (They) demonstrate effective synchronization. First, although the relative phases of the two clocks varied erratically, (They) confirm that they became statistically independent of initial conditions and hence equivalent after a well-defined timescale. Second, (They) show that an agent can estimate an effective phase that closely agrees with the other's phase. Thus, synchronization is practically attainable beyond the regime of conventional noise-induced synchronization. >>

# gst: entropy production rate in stochastically time-evolving asymmetric networks.

<< ️Fluctuations in parameters that are typically treated as fixed play a crucial role in the behavior of complex systems. However, to date, we lack a general non-equilibrium thermodynamic treatment of such a complex system. In this Letter, to address this problem, (AA) develop a framework in which fluctuating interactions between units of nonlinear network systems are modeled as uncorrelated colored noise (i.e., annealed disorder) with a correlation time. >>

<< ️This approach enables us to quantify how the entropy production rate (EPR) depends on both the characteristic time-scale and the strength of the disorder. Using dynamical mean field theory, (They) derive an exact expression for EPR at any transient time that is validated by simulations of the full non-linear dynamics. At stationarity, a relation between EPR and autocorrelation is established and then used to analytically study the particular case of linear systems. >>

# gst: variational iterative rotation algorithm, combinatorial optimization with classical kicked tops.

<< ️(AA) investigate a classical formulation of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), realized as a Hamiltonian dynamical system of classical kicked tops, which (They) call the Variational Iterative Rotation Algorithm (VIRAL). The variational parameters are the transverse and longitudinal rotation angles at each of the p layers of the circuit. >>

<< ️(They) find that VIRAL outperforms QAOA on the canonical Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin-glass benchmark at all circuit depths, with the energy density converging to the ground state value linearly in 1/p. For large circuit depths, the optimized dynamics follows a Floquet protocol in which a pitchfork bifurcation destabilizes the equatorial fixed point and drives the spins toward polar Ising configurations. >>

<< ️(Their) results demonstrate that the effectiveness of QAOA-like protocols derives primarily from their underlying iterative rotation structure, and that a classical implementation of it outperforms its quantum counterpart. (They) further elucidate its efficiency by reducing the many-body classical evolution to an effective Landau-Lifshitz dynamics for a single spin in a stochastic magnetic field. In this picture, the covariance matrix of the effective field reveals a nearly rank-one structure in which a single mode dominates the stochastic dynamics. In contrast, quantum fluctuations make the noise covariance of the effective quantum model of higher rank, hampering the control of the system. >>

# brain: entraining chimeras, the effect of driving with regular, irregular, and real-world phases.

<< ️Chimera states in coupled oscillator networks are paradigmatic examples of partial synchronization in nonlinear systems, with direct relevance to real-world network dynamics, such as neuronal dynamics. Since real-world networks are not isolated, but embedded in larger interacting systems, chimeras have also been studied under the influence of other networks and external signals. In particular, most prior work has treated periodic forcing of chimeras in the thermodynamic limit. >>

<< ️As a consequence, it remains unclear how chimera states respond to external driving in finite-size networks, where they can spontaneously collapse into full synchronization. It is also largely unknown how realistic noisy drivers, rather than periodic signals, affect driver-response synchronization. >>

<< ️To address these open questions, (AA) drive a finite-size oscillator network that exhibits a chimera state with constant-angular-frequency phases and with the same phases superimposed with noise. (They) find that, for a specific range of angular-frequency mismatch and driving strength, (They) can entrain chimeras without causing them to collapse into full synchronization. Adding noise, in turn, reduces entrainment and facilitates collapses. >>

<< ️As a real-world application of the driven chimera state framework, (AA) also drive chimeras with phases from focal and nonfocal electroencephalography (EEG) signals recorded during seizure-free periods in patients with epilepsy. (They) observe that focal signals yield higher entrainment power, within-network coherence, and collapse power than nonfocal signals when the driver EEG's dominant frequency is close to the chimera's mean angular frequency. Away from this regime, nonfocal signals yield higher values of all three measures. The observed differences not only characterize focal and nonfocal signals, but may also provide additional insight into the seizure-free brain dynamics of epilepsy patients. >>

<< ️In conclusion, beyond quantifying how external driving signals, with or without noise, affect the dynamics of chimera states that can collapse into full synchronization, this (AA) work further bridges the study of chimera states and epilepsy research. >>

# sound: screeching sound of peeling tape.

<< ️The screeching of peeling tape is a familiar albeit annoying sound. However, despite decades of study, its source has remained elusive. Herein (AA) demonstrate that this sound is produced by a discrete train of weak shocks emanating from the fine fractures which travel supersonically with respect to the surrounding air, in the transverse direction within the detaching adhesive. >>

<< ️Each sound pulse is generated when a fracture tip reaches the edge of the tape. (They) verify this using two microphones synchronized with clips from two simultaneous high-speed video cameras, one observing the fracture motions in the adhesive through the transparent substrate, while the other captures schlieren imaging of the shock fronts in the air. >>

# gst: spatiotemporal noise stabilizes unbounded diversity in strongly-competitive communities.

<< ️Classical ecological models predict that large, diverse communities should be unstable, presenting a central challenge to explaining the stable biodiversity seen in nature. (AA) revisit this long-standing problem by extending the generalized Lotka-Volterra model to include both spatial structure and environmental fluctuations across space and time.  >>

<< ️(They) find that neither space nor environmental noise alone can resolve the tension between diversity and stability, but that their combined effects permit arbitrarily many species to stably coexist despite strongly disordered competitive interactions. (They) analytically characterize the noise-induced transition to coexistence, showing that spatiotemporal noise drives an anomalous scaling of abundance fluctuations, known empirically as Taylor's law. >>

<< ️At the community level, this manifests as an effective sublinear self-inhibition that renders the community stable and asymptotically neutral in the high-diversity limit. Spatiotemporal noise thus provides a novel resolution to the diversity-stability paradox and a generic mechanism by which complex communities can persist. >>

# gst: spatial self-organization driven by temporal noise.

<< ️The counterintuitive emergence of order from noise is a central phenomenon in science, ranging from pattern formation and synchronization to order-by-disorder in frustrated systems. While large-scale spatial self-organization induced by local spatial noise is well studied, whether temporal noise can also drive such organization remains an open question. >>

<< ️Here, by studying interacting particle systems, (AA) show that temporally correlated noise can lead to a self-organized state with suppressed long-range density fluctuations, or hyperuniformity. Further, (They) develop a fluctuating hydrodynamic theory that quantitatively explains the origin of this phenomenon. >>

<< ️Finally, by casting the dynamics as a stochastic optimization problem, (They) show that temporal correlations lead to better solutions, akin to perturbed gradient descent in neural networks -- where noise is injected during training to escape poor minima. This reveals a striking correspondence between perturbed gradient descent dynamics on the energy landscapes of particle systems and the loss landscapes of neural networks. >>

# gst: nonlocal Kramers-Moyal formulas and data-driven discovery of stochastic dynamical systems with multiplicative Lévy noise.

<< ️Traditional data-driven methods, effective for deterministic systems or stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with Gaussian noise, fail to handle the discontinuous sample paths and heavy-tailed fluctuations characteristic of Lévy processes, particularly when the noise is state-dependent. >>

<< ️To bridge this gap, (AA) establish nonlocal Kramers-Moyal formulas, rigorously generalizing the classical Kramers-Moyal relations to SDEs with multiplicative Lévy noise. These formulas provide a direct link between short-time transition probability densities (or sample path statistics) and the underlying SDE coefficients: the drift vector, diffusion matrix, Lévy jump measure kernel, and Lévy noise intensity functions. >>

# gst: noise enables conditional recovery from collapse.

<< ️(AA) report a paradoxical phenomenon where stochasticity reverses deterministic collapse in threshold-activated systems. By using a hybrid logistic-sigmoidal map, (They) show that weak noise alters phase-space topology, enabling probabilistic recovery from extinction. Lyapunov and quasipotential analyses reveal noise-induced metastability and stochastic robustness absent in deterministic frameworks. These results suggest that environmental variability can stabilize nonlinear systems, offering a counternarrative to classical extinction theory. >>

<< ️These (AA) results partially answer the open question posed by Flandoli et al. (Probab Theory Relat Fields 168:511-556, 2017). As an application, (AA) prove that the weak attractor for stochastic Lorenz 63 systems driven by degenerate noise consists of a single random point provided the noise intensity is small, and there is no weak synchronization if the noise intensity is large. This indicates that a bifurcation occurs in relation to the intensity of the noise. >>

# evol: fluctuating environments favor extreme dormancy strategies and penalize intermediate ones.

<< ️Dormancy is a widespread adaptive strategy that enables populations to persist in fluctuating environments, yet how its benefits depend on the temporal structure of environmental variability remains unclear. (AA) examine how dormancy interacts with environmental correlation times using a delayed-logistic model in which dormant individuals reactivate after a fixed lag while birth rates fluctuate under temporally correlated stochasticity. >> 

<< ️Numerical simulations and analytical calculations show that the combination of demographic memory and colored multiplicative noise generates a strongly non-monotonic dependence of fitness on dormancy duration, with three distinct performance regimes. Very short dormancy maximizes linear growth but amplifies fluctuations and extinction risk. Very long dormancy buffers environmental variability, greatly increasing mean extinction times despite slower growth. Strikingly, (They) find a broad band of intermediate dormancy durations that is maladaptive, simultaneously reducing both growth and persistence due to a mismatch between delay times and environmental autocorrelation. >>

<< ️An evolutionary agent-based model confirms bistability between short- and long-dormancy strategies, which avoid intermediate lag times and evolve toward stable extremes. >>

<< ️These (AA) results show that dormancy duration is not merely a life-history parameter but an adaptive mechanism tuned to environmental timescales, and that intermediate "dangerous middle" strategies can be inherently disfavored. More broadly, this work identifies a generic mechanism by which demographic delays interacting with correlated environmental variability produce a non-monotonic fitness landscape that selects for extreme timing strategies. >>

(AA) show that the interplay of these three factors yields three qualitatively distinct escape mechanisms in diffusively coupled bistable elements, depending on the coupling strength. >> 

<< ️To clarify the relation between coupling strength and mean escape time, (They) derive effective one-dimensional dynamics: nonlinear mean-field Fokker-Planck equation in the weak-coupling regime, stochastic mean-field dynamics in the strong-coupling regime, and deterministic mean-field dynamics in the intermediate regime. >>

<< ️(AA) validate these reduced descriptions by comparing predictions with numerical simulations. (They) identify a distinct dominant driving factor of escape processes in each regime. Notably, the three escape mechanisms emerge through the interplay of nonlinearity, diffusive coupling, and dynamical noise -- rather than bifurcations of the noise-free system. >>

# gst: effect of stochasticity on initial transients and chaotic itinerancy for a natural circulation loop.

<< ️The introduction of stochastic forcing to dynamical systems has been shown to induce qualitatively different behaviors, such as attractor hopping, to otherwise stable systems as they approach bifurcation. In this (AA) study, the effect of stochastic forcing on systems that have already undergone bifurcation and evolve on a chaotic attractor is explored. Markov and state-independent models of turbulence-induced stochasticity are developed, and their effects on a natural circulation loop operating in the chaotic regime are compared. >>

<< ️Stochasticity introduces considerable uncertainty into the duration of the initial chaotic transient but tends to accelerate it on average. An Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model of turbulent fluctuations is shown to produce results equivalent to a bootstrapped raw direct numerical simulation signal. >>

The Markov model of chaotic itinerancy which is typically applied to this class of problems is shown to be invalid for this system and the Lorenz system, to which it has been applied in the past. >>

<< ️Comparison with network simulations demonstrates that this works well whenever the system is in an asynchronous state. >>

 

 << ️(AA) also find an unexpected effect when varying the degree of inertia: the correlation time of the oscillators becomes minimal at an intermediate mass of the oscillators; correspondingly, the power spectra appear flatter and thus more similar to white noise around the same value of mass.
