摘要

Many cell models deal with constraints for life’s persistence, yet we lack principles for how dynamics interact with them and their origins in actual biology. Computational biology needs a theory of viability that confronts the life-death boundary to overcome this. We explore how geometric structures in a model’s state space offer organizing principles for cell fate, and how idealized models of emergent individuals may help explain life’s intrinsically generated limits.
