Talking to each other, or just reacting to the same thing?

Published:

Around five years ago, I submitted the first of what would become a long series of papers at the intersection between information theory, stochastic processes, and statistical physics. It all started with a simple idea and what we thought would be a simple calculation (turns out, it wasn’t): what can we learn about the interactions between two systems if all we can observe is how they move together?
