"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

ENTROPY DEFIED. "Systems with emergent properties or emergent structures may appear to defy entropic principles and the second law of thermodynamics, because they form and increase order despite the lack of command and central control. This is possible because open systems can extract information and order out of the environment. Emergence helps to explain why the fallacy of division is a fallacy." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence#CITEREFAnderson1972 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

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

ADAPTIVE DECOUPLING. "A role of adaptive decoupling is generally supported by comparative data on the relative extent of morphological evolution of larvae and adults and on the frequency of elimination of phases from complex life cycles." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/2937184/full View in LinkedIn

FREEDOM FROM CONSTRAINTS. "Another explanation is that complex life cycles persist due to developmental constraints acting on particular phases; in particular, larvae may represent the conservation of traits of early development while adult traits evolve more freely in response to selection." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/2937184/full View in LinkedIn

DECOUPLING OF PROCESSES. "One explanation for the abundance and long-term persistence of complex life cycles is that they represent adaptive mechanisms for decoupling the developmental processes that underlie morphological traits of alternative phases, thereby allowing phases to respond independently to different selective forces." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2307/2937184/full View in LinkedIn
