SO ENDS this second weekend on the phenomenon of emergence. “The central task of theoretical physics in our time is no longer to write down the ultimate equations, but rather to catalogue and understand emergent behavior in its many guises, including potentially life itself. We call this physics of the next [21st] century the study of complex adaptive matter.” (David Pines, Santa Fe Institute).
