PHASE CHANGE. Von Neumann: “There is this this completely decisive property of complexity, that there exists a critical size below which the process of synthesis is degenerative, but above which the phenomenon of synthesis, if properly arranged, can be explosive, in other words, where the synthesis of automata can proceed in such a manner that each automaton will produce other automata which are more complex and of higher potentialities than itself.”
