Artificial Life (AL) and Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) represent interrelated fields that explore how individual, relatively simple entities – be they digital organisms, autonomous agents or ...

“Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.” Archimedes The perspective which emergence and complex systems give us comes across as limits on our thinking and powers.

The low-rank hypothesis of complex systems and the emergence of higher-order interactions. Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-023-02303-0 In a new study, scientists have investigated ...

What do economics, biological evolution, and democracy have in common? They are all complex adaptive systems. This realization reflects one of the core strengths of a diverse intellectual background – ...

This study examines the correlation between a Culture of Patient Safety as measured by hospital staff surveys and actual patient harm attributed to hospital performance. It is generally accepted by ...

Complex adaptive systems (CASs) are groups of semi-autonomous agents that interact in interdependent ways, to produce system-wide patterns. All CASs share common features, regardless of whether the ...

Much like an overexploited ecosystem, the increasingly polarized political landscape in the United States — and much of the world — is experiencing a catastrophic loss of diversity that threatens the ...
