Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of scientific verification technology for complex systems, specifically to a method and system for verifying the evolutionary capability of a system based on breakpoint regression and entropy analysis. Background Technology
[0002] Non-living systems are systems that do not possess the characteristics of life. They do not engage in life activities such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, sensing, or adaptation; their changes are primarily governed by physical and chemical laws. Verification of whether non-living systems possess autonomous evolutionary capabilities typically revolves around factors such as variation, heredity, and selection, observing whether these factors lead to continuous functional adaptation and increased complexity. Verifying the evolutionary capabilities of non-living systems can provide new design ideas and optimization methods for fields such as materials science, artificial intelligence, and systems engineering.
[0003] In existing technologies, the verification methods for whether non-living systems have the ability to evolve autonomously mainly have the following shortcomings: 1) One-sided indicators: focusing only on a single dimension, such as complexity, leads to a high false positive rate; 2) Coarse data: low data sampling rate and poor environmental control result in a signal-to-noise ratio that is usually less than 20dB; 3) Method limitations: mainly relying on subjective threshold setting, resulting in poor repeatability; 4) Long verification cycle: using traditional methods for verification, the verification cycle is generally more than 6 months, which is time-consuming.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0019] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a system evolution capability verification method based on regression discontinuity and entropy analysis according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step S101: Construct a system evolution evaluation framework that includes multiple evaluation dimensions.
[0020] This application constructs a system evolution assessment framework encompassing multiple evaluation dimensions, which can quantitatively assess whether a target system possesses autonomous evolutionary capabilities. The target system refers to a non-living system whose autonomous evolutionary capabilities need to be verified, such as mechanical systems, natural non-living systems, electronic systems, and physical systems. The multiple evaluation dimensions include: structural complexity, functional diversity, environmental adaptability, energy utilization efficiency, and information processing capability.
[0021] Those skilled in the art can set corresponding indicators for each evaluation dimension according to actual needs. Taking the structural complexity dimension as an example, the indicators for the structural complexity dimension may include: number of components, connection density, hierarchy depth, and modularity index. Specifically, connection density can be represented by ρ, ρ=2L / [N(N-1)]; where L represents the actual number of connections; and N represents the number of components. The modularity index can be represented by Q, Q∈[0,1].
[0022] Step S102: Provide a stable closed environment for the target system through the environmental control module, and collect the operating data of the target system in the closed environment through the multimodal sensor network.
[0023] The environmental control module provides a closed environment for the target system, ensuring that the environmental parameters are controlled within a preset precision range. These environmental parameters include temperature, humidity, vibration, and electromagnetic fields. For example, the environmental control module can maintain a stable closed environment with temperature variations within ±0.1℃, humidity variations within ±1%RH, and vibration variations less than 0.01g, allowing the target system to conduct closed-environment experiments. Those skilled in the art can also set other environment-related parameters, which are not specifically limited here.
[0024] By utilizing mechanical, optical, thermal, and electromagnetic sensors within a multimodal sensor network, operational data of the target system in a closed environment is acquired at sampling frequencies that meet sampling requirements. Specifically, the sampling frequency can be greater than or equal to 1 kHz, achieving high-precision data acquisition and effectively improving data accuracy.
[0025] Step S103: Using a preset breakpoint detection algorithm, setting a significance level index, analyzing the running data, identifying the state change points of the target system, and calculating the breakpoint regression design score.
[0026] Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) is a quasi-experimental research method and one of the core methods of causal inference, primarily used to identify changes in the effect of a treatment at a critical point. In existing technologies, RDD is mainly applied in fields such as economics to estimate threshold effects. Recent studies have applied RDD to ecology and complex systems, for example, to analyze threshold effects of species diversity in ecology and critical behavior of phase transitions in complex systems. However, no relevant schemes have been found to apply RDD to verifying the autonomous evolutionary capacity of systems. This application innovatively introduces both RDD and entropy analysis into the verification of the autonomous evolutionary capacity of systems to determine whether the target system possesses autonomous evolutionary capacity. The RDD design can effectively control confounding variables and identify causal effects.
[0027] The process involves determining the system's evolutionary capability index based on operational data, using algorithm information density as the driving variable for regression discontinuity. A regression discontinuity model corresponding to a pre-defined discontinuity detection algorithm is employed to identify state abrupt changes (i.e., discontinuities) in the target system and calculate the jump effect at these points. The jump effect at each discontinuity is then standardized and normalized to obtain the regression discontinuity design score. This score is a quantitative indicator measuring whether a significant structural change exists in the target system at the algorithm information density discontinuity.
[0028] The formula for calculating the regression discontinuity model is:
[0029] Where Y represents the system evolution capability index, which is determined based on the operating data of the target system. For example, the system evolution capability index may be the rate at which new functions appear. AID represents the algorithm information density, which is the driving variable for regression discontinuity. This application introduces the algorithm information density as the driving variable for regression discontinuity, which can realize cross-system consistency measurement. This represents the breakpoint threshold, which can be set. The theoretical value is 0.3 bits / kg; D represents the processing variable, when AID ≥ At that time, D=1; The jump effect at the state mutation point is used to measure the degree of activation of autonomous evolutionary ability. The jump effect can be calculated based on relevant data on both sides of the state mutation point (such as the system evolutionary ability index); f(·) represents the local polynomial control function. and ε represents the model parameters; ε represents the error term.
[0030] Specifically, the preset breakpoint detection algorithm can be an improved Bai-Perron multiple structural breakpoint detection algorithm. The standard Bai-Perron algorithm is a metrological method for detecting multiple structural breaks in time series data. It can systematically identify structural changes in time series models even when the number, location, and form of breakpoints are unknown.
[0031] The improved Bai-Perron multi-structural breakpoint detection algorithm may include: determining the optimal number of breakpoints using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), processing samples using a bootstrap method, and setting a minimum segment length. The introduction of the bootstrap method effectively improves the reliability for small samples; the minimum segment length can be set using l. min It means, l min =max(15, 0.1T), where T represents the total number of samples. The BIC value can be calculated using the following formula: BIC = ln(σ) 2 ) + (m+1)ln(T) / T Where, σ 2 represents the residual variance; m represents the number of breakpoints; T represents the total number of samples.
[0032] The hypothesis testing framework established in this application is as follows: H0: The target system does not have the ability to evolve autonomously, that is, the apparent "evolution" of the target system is a random fluctuation caused by environmental noise; H1: The target system has the ability to evolve autonomously, that is, the target system can generate autonomous evolution with directionality and continuity.
[0033] The significance level index refers to the upper probability limit of committing a Type I error (false positive) in hypothesis testing; that is, the maximum allowable probability of incorrectly rejecting H0 when the null hypothesis H0 is true. The significance level index can be represented by α, and in specific application scenarios, α can be set to 0.01.
[0034] Step S104: Based on the principle of information entropy, calculate the structural entropy of the target system in the dimension of structural complexity, the functional entropy in the dimension of functional diversity, and the energy entropy in the dimension of energy utilization efficiency.
[0035] Based on the principle of information entropy, calculate the structural entropy H of the target system in the dimension of structural complexity. s Functional entropy H corresponding to the functional diversity dimension f And the energy entropy H corresponding to the energy utilization efficiency dimension. e .
[0036] Specifically, structural entropy H s The calculation formula is: H s =-Σp i log2p i ; where p i This represents the probability of the i-th structural event occurring.
[0037] Functional entropy H f The calculation formula is: H f =-Σ(f j / F)log2(f j / F); where f j Let F = Σf represent the probability of the j-th function occurring. j .
[0038] Energy entropy H e The calculation formula is: H e =-Σe k log2e k ; where e k This represents the probability of the k-th energy event occurring.
[0039] Step S105: Calculate the evolutionary capability index based on structural entropy, functional entropy, energy entropy, and the breakpoint regression design score.
[0040] This application fully integrates structural entropy, functional entropy, energy entropy, and regression discontinuity design score to construct a formula for calculating the evolutionary capability index. The formula for calculating the evolutionary capability index is as follows: ECI = 0.35×ΔH s + 0.28×ΔH f + 0.22×ΔH e+ 0.15×RDD score Where ECI represents the evolutionary capacity index; ΔH s H represents the structural entropy s The change value, ΔH s According to the structural entropy H s Calculation yielded ΔH f The change in functional entropy, ΔH f According to the functional entropy H f Calculation yielded ΔH e Represents energy entropy H e The change value, ΔH e Based on energy entropy H e Calculated; RDD score represents the score of the regression discontinuity design; 0.35, 0.28, 0.22 and 0.15 are weights, which are determined by principal component analysis. Specifically, the weights can be obtained through multiple (e.g., 1000) Monte Carlo simulations.
[0041] Optionally, for the environmental adaptability dimension and the information processing capability dimension, the corresponding entropy can also be calculated and integrated into the calculation of the evolutionary capability index. The weights in the evolutionary capability index calculation formula can be adjusted so that the obtained evolutionary capability index can more comprehensively reflect whether the target system has the ability to evolve autonomously.
[0042] Step S106: Determine whether the target system has the ability to evolve autonomously based on the evolutionary capability index.
[0043] To more accurately determine whether a target system possesses autonomous evolution capabilities, the determination process can also incorporate the probability p corresponding to the hypothesis that the target system does not possess autonomous evolution capabilities (the probability corresponding to the null hypothesis H0). Specifically, the probability p can be the probability of observing the current sample result under the premise that the null hypothesis H0 is true. The smaller the p value, the more sufficient the evidence to reject the null hypothesis H0.
[0044] Specifically, if the evolutionary capability index (ECI) is greater than the exponent threshold and the probability corresponding to the assumption that the target system does not possess autonomous evolutionary capability is less than the probability threshold, then the target system is determined to possess autonomous evolutionary capability. Multiple experiments have demonstrated that when the exponent threshold is set to 0.7 and the probability threshold is set to 0.01, it can accurately determine whether the target system possesses autonomous evolutionary capability. That is, when ECI > 0.7 and p < 0.01, the target system is determined to possess autonomous evolutionary capability.
[0045] Figure 2 This diagram illustrates the technical framework of a system evolution capability verification method based on regression discontinuity and entropy analysis. Figure 2As shown, the entire processing of this method can be divided into three stages: stage 1 is the data acquisition stage, stage 2 is the breakpoint and entropy value analysis stage, and stage 3 is the capability verification stage.
[0046] The data acquisition phase corresponds to the data acquisition layer. In this layer, an environmental control module provides a stable, enclosed environment for the target system (e.g., temperature control, vibration control, electromagnetic shielding, etc.). A multimodal sensor network is used to collect the target system's operational data in this enclosed environment. This network can include mechanical, optical, thermal, and electromagnetic sensors, enabling systematic, diverse, and comprehensive collection of the target system's operational data, thus offering resilience against risks. To facilitate the processing of the collected operational data, such as breakpoint regression analysis, a series of data preprocessing steps, such as filtering, standardization, and alignment, can also be performed.
[0047] The breakpoint and entropy analysis stage corresponds to the breakpoint regression and entropy analysis layer. In the breakpoint regression and entropy analysis layer, time series segmentation modeling, Bayesian breakpoint detection, and mutation feature quantification analysis are performed to identify the state mutation points of the target system and calculate the breakpoint regression design score. It also calculates the entropy corresponding to each evaluation dimension, such as structural entropy, functional entropy, and energy entropy.
[0048] The capability verification stage corresponds to the evolutionary capability verification layer. The evolutionary capability index is calculated, and based on the evolutionary capability index, it is determined whether the target system has the ability to evolve autonomously.
[0049] Figure 3 A schematic diagram illustrating the principle of a system evolution capability verification method based on regression discontinuity and entropy analysis is shown, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a multimodal sensor network monitors and collects operational data of the target system in a closed environment. Environmental interference filtering and data standardization are performed in the real-time data acquisition layer, and the processed data flows into the real-time stream processing layer. In the real-time stream processing layer, the time series is cached using a sliding window, breakpoint regression analysis is performed using an online breakpoint detection engine, and structural entropy, functional entropy, and energy entropy are calculated in real time using an entropy calculation engine, thereby calculating the evolutionary capability index in real time. The online breakpoint detection engine can employ a real-time Bai-Perron algorithm processor implemented on an FPGA, and the entropy calculation engine can employ a 128-bit floating-point unit conforming to the IEEE 754-2008 standard. This application designs an FPGA-based real-time processing architecture, realizing high-speed data acquisition, breakpoint analysis, and entropy calculation, significantly improving processing efficiency.
[0050] Data processed by the real-time stream processing layer can be stored in the system status time-series database for unified management and effective storage. The real-time decision-making layer verifies autonomous evolution capabilities, provides anomaly warnings, and generates verification reports compliant with ISO / IEC 17025 standards. The real-time decision-making layer can also connect to external systems via external system interfaces. Furthermore, the data processed by the real-time stream processing layer and the results obtained from the real-time decision-making layer can be visualized, specifically through dashboards, trend charts, etc. Warnings can also be issued via display units and buzzers when anomalies occur.
[0051] Under the same testing environment, the system evolution capability verification method based on regression discontinuity and entropy analysis provided in this application was used to verify 1000 sets of data samples from non-living systems. Experiments show that the system evolution capability verification method based on regression discontinuity and entropy analysis provided in this application has a verification accuracy of over 98.7%, which is far higher than the verification accuracy of qualitative observation and traditional statistical methods. In terms of processing speed, compared with the verification cycle of 6 months required by traditional statistical methods, this application can complete the verification in only 72 hours, which greatly improves the processing speed and saves time costs significantly. In addition, compared with traditional statistical methods, the method provided in this application effectively improves repeatability and reduces energy consumption.
[0052] The present application will now be described with reference to specific embodiments.
[0053] In one embodiment, taking an industrial robot system as the target system as an example, the experimental setup is as follows: the robot model in the industrial robot system is KUKA KR 1000 Titan, and the multimodal sensor network includes a laser displacement meter (0.1μm), a 6-axis force sensor (0.01N), a thermal imager (0.1℃), etc., wherein the sampling frequency for force data is 5kHz, and the sampling frequency for other data is 1kHz; the experiment lasts for 30 days.
[0054] Figure 4 The graph showing the entropy change trend of an industrial robot system is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the industrial robotic arm in the industrial robot system operates continuously, and the entropy change of the industrial robot system is monitored. Figure 4 It can be seen that the entropy value shows an overall upward trend, with a change in entropy value Δ of +0.45 bits. All detected breakpoints show negative changes, consistent with the theoretical expectation that non-living systems cannot autonomously reduce their entropy value (n=50), where n represents the number of experiments. Through breakpoint regression analysis and entropy calculation, the breakpoint location is found to be at 300 hours, with a BIC value of -12.45, p=0.008, and ΔH... s =+0.18, ΔHf =+0.22, ΔH e +0.15, RDD score The value is 0.31, and the calculated ECI (Evolutionary Capability Index) is 0.204. Since its ECI is less than 0.7, the industrial robot system is determined to lack autonomous evolution capability.
[0055] In another embodiment, Table 1 shows a data comparison between living systems and non-living systems. By comparing the ECI values of living systems (such as bacteria, plants and animals) and non-living systems (mechanical systems, natural non-living systems), it can be demonstrated that the ECI values of non-living systems are significantly lower than those of living systems. Furthermore, there exists an ECI threshold (approximately 0.7), and only systems exceeding this threshold can possess true autonomous evolutionary capabilities. Living systems cannot autonomously evolve from non-living systems because the ECI values of non-living systems cannot reach the threshold required by living systems.
[0056] Table 1. Data Comparison between Living and Non-living Systems
[0057] Figure 5 A diagram illustrating the comparison of system complexity indices between living and non-living systems is shown, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the slope of the curve for living systems is 0.15 ± 0.03 (p < 0.001), while the slope of the curve for non-living systems is 0.01 ± 0.05 (p = 0.82).
[0058] According to the system evolution capability verification method based on regression discontinuity and entropy analysis provided in the embodiments of this application, a system evolution evaluation system with multiple evaluation dimensions is constructed. An environmental control module provides a stable closed environment for the target system, and a multimodal sensor network collects the operating data of the target system in the closed environment. This achieves precise control of the system environment and high-precision multi-dimensional data acquisition, effectively improving data accuracy and comprehensiveness. The method innovatively introduces regression discontinuity and entropy analysis into the verification of the system's autonomous evolution capability. Regression discontinuity analysis is performed on the operating data of the target system to identify state change points, calculate the regression discontinuity design score, and based on information... The entropy principle calculates the structural entropy of a target system in terms of structural complexity, functional entropy in terms of functional diversity, and energy entropy in terms of energy utilization efficiency. This entropy is then used to calculate an evolutionary capability index. Based on this index, it is possible to accurately determine whether a target system possesses autonomous evolutionary capability, thus achieving quantitative verification of the system's autonomous evolutionary capability. Furthermore, this approach effectively improves repeatability, reduces energy consumption, shortens the verification cycle, and significantly saves time and costs. This method also provides a quantitative standard for the essential distinction between living and non-living systems, and has significant application value in fields such as artificial intelligence, robot autonomy assessment, and reliability verification of complex mechanical systems.

Based on this index, it is possible to accurately determine whether a target system possesses autonomous evolutionary capability, thus achieving quantitative verification of the system's autonomous evolutionary capability. Furthermore, this approach effectively improves repeatability, reduces energy consumption, shortens the verification cycle, and significantly saves time and costs. This method also provides a quantitative standard for the essential distinction between living and non-living systems, and has significant application value in fields such as artificial intelligence, robot autonomy assessment, and reliability verification of complex mechanical systems.
