Hi all I have some questions about CAS if you can help me: 1. What is the difference between adaptation in CAS and learning in complex systems? 2. Is the...
It's a lot less mysterious than it seems. Emergence is the existence of a phenomenon that can be characterized independently of its implementation. My current...
Emergence is a popular concept in the area of complex systems. It is a seductive and deceptive concept: it can be very interesting and very frustrating at the...
I would say adaptation and learning are closely related. Learning usually refers to a cognitive process of acquiring skill or knowledge through study,...
The common housefly executes exquisitely precise and complex aerobatics with less computational might than an electric toaster, according to this article ...
Two additional points about emergence. 1. Emergence is sometimes spontaneous. In my previous answer I talked about emergence that we manufacture by designing...
Hello all; I have read books, papers and Web pages talking about characteristics of CAS, and but I have not yet had a clear response to the following...
To answer questions 1 and 2, I generally say that learning and adaptation are exactly the same thing. I think of it like this: when you consider a CAS, the...
Perhaps the reason for the success of "Web 2.0" is the same as the reason for the failure of the Semantic Web (with failure I mean that only a very small part...
The latest issue of the E:CO ("Emergence: Complexity & Organization") journal is available. It is a special issue on Complexity and Innovation with a classic...
I recently got a GooglePage <http://russ.abbott.googlepages.com/>. I don't know what Google has in mind for its GooglePages. If they are smart, they will...
Google is smart, it has an army of PhDs, and most of them are much smarter than I. It is sometimes frustrating to see what companies like Microsoft and Google...
A new book from Seth Lloyd is out: "PROGRAMMING THE UNIVERSE" A Quantum Computer Scientist Takes On the Cosmos. By Seth Lloyd. Illustrated. 221 pp. Alfred A....
I am wrong, Self-organization is not the exception. It is the rule in countries like India. Here is the proof. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM...
In my opinion stating: "as it computes, the universe effortlessly spins out intricate and complex structures" is more like rephrasing the obvious. And saying...
Yes, certainly. Although complexity has increased dramatically in the course of time, and the universe indeed spins out intricate and complex structures, it...
Oregon researchers examine the Darwinian evolution of complex molecular systems. They have found that "old genes, constrained by selection for entirely ...
I must agree. An expansion of complexity is correlated with a confinement to a limited space. We must continue exploring the heavens, and find better ways to ...
It is at least clear that habitable zones suitable for life and organic life-forms are rare in our universe. Within each galaxy there is an area that could ...
