Motivated by the overwhelming evidence some type of quantum criticality underlies the power-law for the optical conductivity and $T-$linear resistivity in the cuprates, we demonstrate here how a scale-invariant or unparticle sector can lead…

Activated Random Walk is a particle system displaying Self-Organized Criticality, in that the dynamics spontaneously drive the system to a critical state. How universal is this critical state? We state many interlocking conjectures aimed at…

Living systems operate in a critical dynamical regime -- between order and chaos -- where they are both resilient to perturbation, and flexible enough to evolve. To characterize such critical dynamics, the established 'structural theory' of…
