The immune system, adaptation, and machine learning
TLDR
A dynamical model for the immune system is described that is based on the network hypothesis of Jerne, and is simple enough to simulate on a computer, and has a strong similarity to an approach to learning and artificial intelligence introduced by Holland, called the classifier system.About:

Morphogenesis in shape-space. Elementary meta-dynamics in a model of the immune network.
John Stewart,Francisco J. Varela +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the meta-dynamics of the biological immune system may be such that it gives rise to the emergence of a connected, self-sustaining network that is called the Central Immune System: a coherent self-identity which incorporates the molecules of the somatic self and reflects the history of its own development.

Once More Unto the Breach: Towards Artificial Homeostasis?
Mark Neal,Jon Timmis +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework which integrates artificial neural networks, artificial immune systems and a novel artificial endocrine system is presented, which promises to capitalise on the self-organising properties of these artificial systems to yield artificially homeostatic systems.

Somatic generation of antibody diversity
TL;DR: In the genome of a germ-line cell, the genetic information for an immunoglobulin polypeptide chain is contained in multiple gene segments scattered along a chromosome which are assembled by recombination which leads to the formation of a complete gene.

A mathematical model illustrating the theory of turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the application of statistical analysis and statistical mechanics to the problem of turbulent fluid motion has attracted much attention in recent years, and the authors investigated a complicated system of nonlinear equations, in order to find out enough about the properties of the solutions of these equations that insight can be obtained into the various patterns exhibited by the field and that data can be derived concerning the relative frequencies of these patterns in the hope that in this way a basis may be found for the calculation of important values.
