The danger of biomemetics
Feathers and flapping? Or lift, drag, propulsion, and control? The danger of biomemetics
7
Wilbur Wright on Control, 1901
“We know how to construct airplanes.” (lift and drag) “Men also know how to build engines.” (propulsion) “Inability to balance and steer still confronts students of the flying problem.” (control) “When this one feature has been worked out, the age of flying will have arrived, for all other difficulties are of minor importance.”

Core theory challenges
Hard constraints Simple models Short proofs Architecture
9
A look back and forward The Internet architecture was designed without a theory. Many academic theorists told the engineers it would never work. We now have a nascent theory that confirms that the engineers were right. For systems biology, future networks, and other new technologies, let’s hope we can avoid a repeat of this history.
10
Architecture? “The bacterial cell and the Internet have
architectures that are robust and evolvable” What does “architecture” mean? What does it mean for an “architecture” to be robust and evolvable? Robust yet fragile? Rigorous and coherent theory?
11
Hard constraints On systems and their components
Thermodynamics (Carnot) Communications (Shannon) Control (Bode) Computation (Turing/Gödel) Fragmented and incompatible We need a more integrated view and have the beginnings Assume different architectures a priori.

14
Short proofs (progress)
Robust yet fragile systems Proof complexity implies problem fragility (!?!) Designing for robustness and verifiability are compatible objectives Hope for a unifying framework? SOS, Psatz (Prajna, P*) Temporal specifications (Pnueli) SAT (Selman) Integrating simple models and short proofs?
15
Simple models (challenges)
Rigorous connections between Multiple scales Experiment, data, and models Essential starting point for short proofs Microscopic state: discrete, finite, enormous Packet level Software, digital hardware Molecular-level interactions Macroscopic behavior: robust yet fragile

22
Nightmare? Biology: We might accumulate more complete parts lists but never “understand” how it all works. Technology: We might build increasingly complex and incomprehensible systems which will eventually fail completely yet cryptically. Nothing in the orthodox views of complexity says this won’t happen (apparently).
23
HOPE? Interesting systems are robust yet fragile.
Identify the fragility, evaluate and protect it. The rest (robust) is “easy”. Nothing in the orthodox views of complexity says this can’t happen (apparently).

Architecture? “The bacterial cell and the Internet have
architectures that are robust and evolvable” What does “architecture” mean? What does it mean for an “architecture” to be robust and evolvable? Robust yet fragile? Rigorous and coherent theory?

Robust and highly evolvable Fragile and hard to change
Uncertain Variety of Ligands & Receptors Robust and highly evolvable Fragile and hard to change Intermediates Variety of responses Uncertain

Fragility? A huge variety of pathogens attack and hijack GTPases.
Rho GDP GTP In Out P GDI GEF GAP Fragility? A huge variety of pathogens attack and hijack GTPases. A huge variety of cancers are associated with altered (hijacked) GTPase pathways. The GTPases may be the least evolvable elements in signaling pathways, in part because they facilitate evolvability elsewhere

But you already knew all this.
Variety of Ligands & Receptors But you already knew all this. Variety of responses Ligands & Receptors G- proteins Primary targets Transmitter Ubiquitous protocol “Hourglass” Robust & evolvable Fragile to “hijacking” Manages extreme heterogeneity with selected homogeneity Accident or necessity? Receiver Variety of responses

Theoretical foundations for networks
The most rigorous, sophisticated, and applicable of existing theories Computation Control Communications Have become fragmented and isolated Failed attempts at unified “new sciences” Need new mathematics Recent progress has been spectacular, both in rigor and relevance

A look back and forward The Internet architecture was designed without a theory. Many academic theorists told the engineers it would never work. We now have a nascent theory that confirms that the engineers were right. For MANETs and other new technologies, let’s hope we can avoid a repeat of this history.
