Abstract
This is a companion to A Gauge model for analysis of Biological systems. Here we reconcile the gauge model with a “real” system, which in this case is a unicellular system. We address effects of changes to the frequency of osmolyte infusion, on the aggregate measure of systemic failure. We also describe limitations to the functionality of the system that may stem from limited availability of resources. We end by introducing a theoretical problem related to how well the system can tolerate random changes to the frequency of osmolytes infusion.
