Conditional entropic approach to nonequilibrium complex systems with weak fluctuation correlation

Statistical Mechanics 2023-04-04 v2 Biological Physics

Abstract

A conditional entropic approach is discussed for nonequilibrium complex systems with a weak correlation between spatiotemporally fluctuating quantities on a large time scale. The weak correlation is found to constitute the fluctuation distribution that maximizes the entropy associated with the conditional fluctuations. The approach is illustrated in diffusion phenomenon of proteins inside bacteria. A further possible illustration is also presented for membraneless organelles in embryos and beads in cell extracts, which share common natures of fluctuations in their diffusion.
