Abstract

A recent comparative analysis of biological reaction to unchanging vs. rapidly changing stimuli -- such as Covid-19 or flu viruses -- uses an empirical formula describing how the reaction to a similar stimulus depends on the distance between the new and original stimuli. In this paper, we provide a from-first-principles explanation for this empirical formula.
