| contents | As Nature's version of machine learning, evolution has solved many extraordinarily complex problems, none perhaps more remarkable than learning to harness an increase in chemical entropy (disorder) to generate directed chemical forces (order). Using muscle as a model system, here I unpack the basic mechanism by which life creates order from disorder. In short, evolution tuned the physical properties of certain proteins to contain changes in chemical entropy. As it happens, these are the "sensible" properties Gibbs postulated were needed to solve his paradox. |
