INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS. “Each mode of language incorporates the features of the previous modes. The Internet incorporates all of the features of computing which in turn incorporates the features of all the previous modes: speech, writing, mathematics, and science. Science incorporates speech, writing, and mathematics. Writing and mathematics arose at the same moment in history. They therefore only incorporated the features of speech, albeit different ones.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

COEVOLUTION. “Overall, we conclude that the models presented here provide a plausible attempt to understand the complex scenario of BH and galaxy co-evolution, and to predict the downsizing trend within the framework of hierarchical clustering. However, there still remain many uncertainties in modelling the formation and evolution of BHs, which hopefully ongoing and future observational facilities will help to constrain.” (BH = black hole). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

COEVOLUTION WITH HOST. “And each of these six languages have undergone their own individual evolutions. Each of these six languages is like a symbiotic organism that depends on its human hosts for its sustenance.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

THE FAILURE OF THE SMALL. “As an implicit consequence of massive black hole seeds, we have also assumed that seeds are not able to form in dark matter haloes below 2 × 10(11) M⊙, as cold gas might not be able to collapse in these haloes due to their shallow potential wells. This simultaneously reduces the number of faint AGN at high redshift, in better agreement with observations.” (AGN = active galactic nuclei; M⊙ = solar masses). https://lnkd.in/d9JV8md View in LinkedIn

EDUCATION IS BROKEN. “Synthesis is a simulation-based learning experience built around complex team games. Students work through case studies, simulations, and game-based challenges. While playing, kids teach themselves how to win. In the process, they learn new problem-solving skills.” Batch students by ability not age, teach the problem not the tool. https://lnkd.in/dP5rMwf View in LinkedIn

EVOLVING MEDIUM. “Language is like an organism that grows and evolves, with both its semantics and syntax becoming ever more complex. Language began as verbal or spoken language and evolved into written language, mathematics, science, computing, and the Internet.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

CONCEPTUAL FREEDOM. “Human verbal language allows us to think about abstractions, to plan for the future and reminisce about the past. Language is generative so that we are capable of creating an infinite number of possible messages or ideas.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

THE PROBLEM OF NOW. “Other animals are capable of communicating with each other but the range of what they can express is limited to small number of signals. They are unable to conceptualize. They have no sense of the past and the future. They live in the perpetual present.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn
