Information Cosmology operators
17 operators in the information_cosmology category of the live registry. Each is a named formula you can compose inside a state contract or call directly through POST /api/zeq/compute. KO42 is always on; add up to three more per call (total ≤ 4), per the 7-step protocol.
| Operator | Description | Equation |
|---|---|---|
ICO1 | Shannon information entropy H(X) quantifying the average surprise or information content of a discrete random source. | H(X) = -\sum_{i=1}^n p(x_i) \log_2 p(x_i), \quad 0 \leq H(X) \leq \log_2 n |
ICO10 | Critical exponents characterizing universal power-law behavior of physical quantities near continuous phase transitions. | \xi \sim |T - T_c|^{-\nu}, \quad C \sim |T - T_c|^{-\alpha}, \quad m \sim |T_c - T|^\beta |
ICO11 | Information cascade operator modeling logistic adoption dynamics where agents follow predecessors rather than private signals. | P(\text{adopt}|k \text{ adopters}) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-\beta(k - \theta)}} |
ICO12 | Power-law distribution P(x) ~ x^(-alpha) describing scale-free phenomena from wealth to city sizes. | P(x) = C x^{-\alpha}, \quad \text{for } x \geq x_{min}, \quad \alpha > 1 |

ICO14 | Partition function Z = sum(e^(-betaE_i)) and Helmholtz free energy F = -k_BT*ln(Z) for statistical ensemble thermodynamics. | F = -k_B T \ln Z, \quad Z = \sum_{\text{configurations}} e^{-E/k_B T} |
ICO15 | Percolation theory modeling the emergence of connected clusters as occupation probability crosses a critical threshold. | P_\infty(p) \sim (p - p_c)^\beta, \quad \xi(p) \sim |p - p_c|^{-\nu} |
ICO16 | Kuramoto synchronization model d(theta_i)/dt = omega_i + (K/N)*sum(sin(theta_j - theta_i)) for coupled oscillator phase locking. | \frac{d\theta_i}{dt} = \omega_i + \frac{K}{N} \sum_{j=1}^N \sin(\theta_j - \theta_i) + \eta_i(t) |
ICO17 | Replicator dynamics dx_i/dt = x_i*(f_i - f_avg) modeling evolutionary selection of strategies based on relative fitness. | \frac{dx_i}{dt} = x_i \left[(A\vec{x})_i - \vec{x} \cdot A\vec{x}\right] + \mu \left(1 - Nx_i\right) |
ICO18 | Collective intelligence operator aggregating distributed agent computations into emergent group-level problem solving. | I_{collective} = \alpha \sum_i I_i + \beta \sum_{i\neq j} C_{ij} I_i I_j + \gamma \cdot \text{diversity} |
ICO2 | Algorithmic (Kolmogorov) complexity K(x) measuring the length of the shortest program that produces string x. | K(x) = \min{|p| : U(p) = x}, \quad \text{for universal Turing machine } U |
ICO3 | Landauer's principle E >= k_BTln(2) setting the minimum energy cost of erasing one bit of information. | E \geq k_B T \ln 2 \quad \text{per bit erased}, \quad \text{at temperature } T |
ICO4 | Bekenstein-Hawking entropy S_BH proportional to black hole horizon area, linking gravity to information content. | S_{BH} = \frac{k_B c^3 A}{4G\hbar} = \frac{k_B A}{4l_P^2}, \quad l_P = \sqrt{\frac{G\hbar}{c^3}} |
ICO5 | Computational complexity class O(f(n)) characterizing the asymptotic resource requirements of algorithms. | T(n) = O(f(n)), \quad \text{for input size } n, \text{ time/space complexity } f(n) |
ICO6 | Betweenness centrality measuring the fraction of shortest paths passing through a node in a network. | C_B(v) = \sum_{s\neq v\neq t} \frac{\sigma_{st}(v)}{\sigma_{st}}, \quad C_C(v) = \frac{1}{\sum_{u} d(u,v)} |
ICO7 | Fractal dimension D = log(N)/log(s) quantifying the self-similar scaling complexity of fractal geometries. | D = \frac{\log N}{\log s}, \quad \text{for } N \text{ self-similar pieces, scaling factor } s |
ICO9 | Self-organization via reaction-diffusion equations modeling spontaneous pattern formation from homogeneous initial conditions. | \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = D\nabla^2 u + f(u) + g(u,v), \quad \frac{\partial v}{\partial t} = D_v\nabla^2 v + h(u,v) |
Compute with one of these
curl -sS -X POST https://zeqsdk.com/api/zeq/compute \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ZEQ_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"operators":["ICO1"],"inputs":{}}'
The response carries the bare physics value, its unit and uncertainty, the generated master equation, and a signed envelope you can verify on any node.
