| Description |
The material of the living cell is driven out of equilibrium by energy consuming processes. The collective behaviour of such systems is described by active hydrodynamics. We will use this to study the steady state organization and dynamics of molecules on the two dimensional cell surface. We will use ideas from information theory to show that this dynamic organization is a solution of an error optimization problem. |
