Hello, there is a czech guy (ales kubi) who did a lot in emergence and multi-agent systems. He created a formal model based upon grammars to explain emergence....
Yes, I know his article. The model is not very useful. The attempt of Kubi to define a "theory of emergence" (as he said in the abstract, this would include...
Hi, I was wondering if we were to make decisions in complex systems, how one can distinguish outcomes of decision-making with emergence. When modelling complex...

Yes, that would be an interesting idea, too. Of course people care first of all for themselves. They look for a good place (a) for themselves (b) for their...
According to Alessandro Troisi et al., agent-based rules are an efficient way of describing the assembly of molecules into their lowest-energy states. Assembly...
I have always thought this would also a better way for describing mechanical aspects of solids, like for example: cracking. There are many empirical aproaches...
