There's a book on this called "Scale" written by a theoretical physicist that explains why phenomenon like arteries and capillaries are all governed by physical constraints and shows you all the different ways those constraints manifest. If you liked this comment you should probably check it out. The high seas might be able to help.

I recommend the book “Life on the Edge” by McFadden. It discusses the current state of the field of quantum biology. Life on the Edge
I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with HMMs to answer your question specifically, but if you want resources on HMMs for biology, the textbook that comes to mind is Biological Sequence Analysis: Probabilistic Models of Proteins and Nucleic Acids. While a bit dated nowadays, it covers HMMs extensively. You should be able to find versions in the usual places.
If you're looking for publications, I know one of the authors, Anders Krogh, has done a lot of work with HMMs, so maybe some of his papers can help you.
I do agree that it doesn't appear to make sense. The only thing that would appear to prevent hard determinism here is quantum mechanics (although not the many-worlds interpretation). While I think Penrose's microtubule theory sounds ridiculuous, there have been plenty of groundbreaking discoveries in quantum biology, as laid out in Life on the Edge. Who would've thought photosynthesis and enzymatic activity involved quantum weirdness?
And even if this was the case, quantum randomness doesn't exactly seem compatible with free will either.
It's of course the biggest cop-out of all time--attempting to rescue free will with quantum mechanics--but I don't mind it.
If I don't have free will and we live in hard deterministic universe, I couldn't have thought or written anything other than what I'm thinking and writing right now. And if I have to believe in free will, so be it. And you have no choice but to consider my arguments in exactly the way you are doing right now. It couldn't be any other way. If, that is, hard determinism is true.
If you can choose to believe in free will, you are right. If you can't, it doesn't matter. The only possibility for error is to choose not to believe in free will.
I saw the book and didn't get to it at the time. I'll pick it up off of your recommendation. Thanks!
Continuing off topic trend: Around the time I was looking into something else to read, within the quantum realm, I came across Quantum Biology. You might enjoy the topic, if you haven't already taken a look. Jim Al-Khalili has an interesting and sound view on how quantum physics fits into our messy biological world to support life.
Good scientific (though unfinished) exploration of this.

Tesla did not invent free energy. He "invented" wireless transmission. The electricity still had to be generated.
However, it's a GOOD thing wireless transmission of power did not become popular. The damage to the eco system and peoples health would have been unimaginable.

Now, this is all borderline pseudoscience. Take everything with a grain of salt. Or two.
Oh hey....beyond the other post I made....just read this book. Arguably the best book on molecular biology that currently exists. It's not gonna teach you techniques or protocols or anything, but it's foundational knowledge. After that comes the techniques and protocols.
Read it front to back, then read a few papers on CRISPR and genetic manipulation. It'll blow your damn mind.

Pretty sure that Dr. Robert Becker documented with extensive scientific studies exponential metastasis rates of cancer tumors and damage to DNA from ambient electromagnetic fields waaaaay less than a 2,000 watt microwave oven in his book The Body Electric.

It has no math or complicated subjects yet it is the most eye opening science book I have ever read. Your life will not be the same after reading it.

I'm not sure they have the exact topic you are looking for, but there is this book called The Manga Guide to ______ . I have read and used Manga Guide to Database and it helped me passed my 3rd-year college-level class on database management lol. It is presented as a manga while the main protagonist explores the topics of in an isekai world.
The closest one that I can see is The Manga Guide to Biochemistry (Amazon Link )
Looking at your post history I don't think you would accept evidence, or at least maintain a very different standard of evidence for ideas or claims which confirm your beliefs as opposed to those which challenge it.
Also, you are the one making many claims here, so the burden of proof is on you to post atual studies for which I can check their methodology and not sources indistinguishable from facebook mom initiatives.
Obviously mRNA therapy is not gene therapy as no nuclear DNA is involved. This is well established. Go read e.g. this basic book and you can go and study the primary literature referenced from there. If you can't buy it you could use gen.lib.rus.ec to download a pdf illegally if you choose to do so.
Maybe if I had the time I would post some more but I don't.

>Scientists have long believed that the "great leap forward" that occurred some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago in Europe marked end of significant biological evolution in humans. In this stunningly original account of our evolutionary history, top scholars Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending reject this conventional wisdom and reveal that the human species has undergone a storm of genetic change much more recently. Human evolution in fact accelerated after civilization arose, they contend, and these ongoing changes have played a pivotal role in human history.

Janeway's is still a great textbook that is very current, immunology is just moving really fast right now. All of biology is because the new tools we have to work with are flat out amazing. Molecular Biology of the Cell is probably the best bang for your buck in terms of getting into this area. It covers a huge amount of terrain, after which you can dive into biochem, genetics, immunology, microbiology, etc.

Thanks for your help!!
If we're talking quantum fuckery, I prefer Johnjoe McFadden. Life on the Edge, written with Jim Al-Khalili, touches on this stuff and more.
It's not about where I live. There's a reason why China (for instance) urbanizes as it pulls people out of self-sustaining agrarian lifestyles.
The economies of countries the world over are built this way. Urban areas all over the world produce the majority of economic activity. There are also gains in efficiency that come with city living. Populations in cities move around less in order to do their daily work requiring less in terms of independent infrastructure and transportation.
Resource extraction still requires rural areas but as someone else replied to me that extraction now requires less people.
This book has a bunch more information about this if you're interested:

If your background is computer science you could benefit from these books: https://www.amazon.com/Phillip-Compeau/e/B00JLELTEC/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
Lehningers Principles of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Cell aren't quite the without some laboratory experience and accessory reading of primary literature, but they'll get you pretty close to an undergrad understanding by American standards.
I think that the primary problem with only getting your understanding from one or a few books is that most fields require developing a mental framework for tackling problems within the field. In other words, having an undergrad degree should be more than just knowing what's in the main textbooks.

The book required for this class is Molecular Biology of the Cell either loose-leaf, paperback, or hardback. The following is a link for the book through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Molecular-Biology-Sixth-Bruce-Alberts/dp/0815344325/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9780815344322&qid=1578708769&sr=8-1. You can search for books for classes through the Hornet Bookstore but their prices are extremely expensive. I also found an old syllabus for the class. You can find an old syllabus online (found it by searching "bio 121 syllabus csus" and was like the third link, idk how to link a word document). Usually professors don't make major changes to their syllabus throughout the years.
I took BIO 121 but not with Nguyen. I would suggest studying heavily for this class since these upper division bio classes have lots of information (reading chapters, taking notes, RECORDING LECTURES - heard this is extremely important for his class, and asking questions). Also, if you like, you can form study groups with other students so that you can work together and share study skills.
Geoffrey West does a great job explaining it in his book Scale, I only wish I could recall his answer well enough to repeat it here. What is fascinating is that it seems very similar scaling laws govern growth across many complex systems, including organisms.

Possibly my favorite book of all time, Life on the edge Not a textbook, just a novel. My favorite chapter is the one on Chlorophyll
Science and Practice of Strength Training by Vladimir Zatsiorsky.
Not quite muscle specific, but Zatsiorsky is a huge name in academic biomechanics and strength training. He has a long and interesting history that involved training Olympic-level athletes for the USSR before taking a professorship in kinesiology at Penn State, and was really ahead of his time at incorporating science and evidence-based research into training.
That is precisely it. The laws of scaling work that way. It's also the case that as population increases, average wealth increases.
There is a great book about this phenomenon: https://www.amazon.com/Scale-Universal-Innovation-Sustainability-Organisms/dp/1594205582
