Krakauer Ayesh gave 3 stars to The Complex World: An Introduction to the Foundations of Complexity Science (Paperback) by David C. Krakauer
Not an introduction, but a literature guide to complexity science.

Yet, a lot of cool catchy analogies that serve your understanding: "The primary challenges of emergence are not concerned with relating the effective to the fundamental. This connection was even short-circuited in physics with Gibbs’s revolutionary effective theory of thermodynamics; the most powerful and practical theory of thermodynamics to date. It is an approach to statistical physics that was supported by Maxwell’s demonstration that inter-theoretic reduction (from probability distributions to classical trajectories) is almost always impossible (logically and computationally). Greater attention is paid to inter-theoretic compatibility: Gibbs does not contradict Newton but cannot be derived from him. Life does not contradict quantum mechanics but cannot be derived from it. The pursuit of emergent descriptions is more often concerned with compatibility." ]]> ReadStatus9230309485 Tue, 25 Mar 2025 08:54:09 -0700 <![CDATA[Ayesh is currently reading 'Data Analysis for the Life Sciences with R']]> /review/show/7433860117 Data Analysis for the Life Sciences with R by Rafael A.
