Not completely sure why this is on HN, but I am happy to see it on here! :) A good chunk of my PhD (many years ago) relied on the minimisation of free energy to understand the evolution of biological systems. e.g. Studying the growth of tumours: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-8984/22/19/194122/meta http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-8984/22/19/19... This has prompted me to go take a look at the state of the art.
