Original abstract
Biomolecular condensates are continually remodeled by biochemical reactions that can exhibit non-Markovian, history-dependent dynamics. We develop a theory of active phase separation with non-Markovian reactions and show that delayed reaction feedback destabilizes stationary droplets: when the memory time becomes comparable to the reaction turnover time, condensates deform and spontaneously acquire a polar, self-propelled state. In multidroplet systems, persistent memory wakes mediate alignment, producing polar flocks and, at higher concentrations, traveling labyrinths. These results establish reaction memory as a control parameter of active phase separation, linking condensate remodeling, autonomous motility, and collective organization, and suggest a possible route to flocking-like behavior within cells.
