Abstract

In this note I present a simple model for the idiotypic network among antibodies and study its relevance for the maintenance of immunological memory; in particular, the memory capacity of such a model is studied. Some of the similarities with the spin glass model and with neural networks are discussed.

  • The basic McCulloch-Pitts design is common to many other living systems, including gene regulatory networks, immune networks, collective intelligence or some aneural systems, such as quorum-sensing decisions in microbial communities.

    “Interestingly, the basic McCulloch–Pitts design is common to many other living systems, including gene regulatory networks [256–259], immune networks [260–262], collective intelligence [263–267] or some aneural systems, such as quorum-sensing decisions in microbial communities, where an explicit equivalence has been defined [268].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
