“Endogeneous extrolluculor proteases damage to Kv1.5 in the atria contributes to AFIB”
- WBC’s secretion of proteases, such as calpain when it is inflamed

Key Question: how can different chromatin regulators lead to the same set of symptoms named “autism”.
autism gene signature
The gene signature of autism can be measured in clean and quantitative assays.

First, make a computation graph.
Consider \(\ln (ab + \max (a,2))\)

Say we want \(\pdv{f}{a}(3,2)\).
Let’s begin by tracking, left to right, both the value of each node and its derivative.
Layer 1:
- \(b = 2, \pdv{b}{a} = 0\)
- \(a = 3, \pdv{a}{a} = 1\)
Layer 2:
- \(c_1 = a\times b = 6, \pdv{c_1}{a} = b\pdv{a}{a} + a \pdv{a}{b} = 2\)
and so on; until we get to \(c_4\)
autonomous ODEs
Last edited: August 8, 2025an First Order ODE is “autonomous” when:
\begin{equation} y’ = f(y) \end{equation}
for some \(f\) of one variables. Meaning, it only depends on the independent variable \(t\) through the use of \(y(t)\) in context.
This is a special class of seperable diffequ.
autonomous ODEs level off at stationary curves
for autonomous ODEs can never level off at non-stationary points. Otherwise, that would be a stationary point.
See stability (ODEs)
