COMPARTMENTS AND TIMING. "Adaptive decoupling could result from developmental compartmentalization, and within such developmental systems, heterochrony could be a route to the deletion of a life cycle phase." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/2937184/full View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first of two weekends contemplating complex life cycles in nature. The bewildering complexity of many life cycles is impressive. Also impressive is how some complex life cycles have simplified during evolution. It is an example of how chance explores as many options as possible in a completely non-linear fashion. Nature is a massive random event generator, and most of her experiments fail. View in LinkedIn

"EMERGENT COMPUTATIONAL THEORY: Research into the computational capacities of emergent structures in complex, self-organizing systems that can be used to measure the complexity of these structures. It recognizes emergent phenomena by their information processing capacity. That is, one can understand the emergent phenomena found in complex, adaptive systems by their their innate potential for processing information." https://lnkd.in/dBCZ5hh View in LinkedIn

AGENT SOCIAL NETWORKS. "Many complex systems have despite their names quite simple microscopic components. The complexity arises from local interactions." https://lnkd.in/dFZ84SM View in LinkedIn

"NATURAL DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS are adaptive, scalable and fault-tolerant. Emergence science describes how higher-level self-regulatory behaviour arises in natural systems from many participants following simple rule-sets. Emergence advocates simple communication models, autonomy and independence, enhancing robustness and self-stabilization." http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1301356&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1301356 View in LinkedIn

THE EDGE OF CHAOS. "Emergence occurs in a narrow possibility space lying between conditions that are too ordered and too disordered. This boundary or margin is the edge of chaos, which is always far from equilibrium. Near these equilibriums, a system has the ability to self-organise allowing an emergent phenomenon." https://lnkd.in/dfAjwzM View in LinkedIn

AGENT SOCIAL CONNECTEDNESS. "Natural self-organising systems function without central control and operate based on contextual local interactions. The particularity of self-organised systems is their capacity to spontaneously (without external control) produce a new organisation in case of environmental changes." https://lnkd.in/dfAjwzM View in LinkedIn
