'''1832 - Carl Von Clausewitz''' (well, his widow) published '''On War'''. One of the two most important works in the history of military and strategic thought. Clausewitz's ''On War'' marks the introduction to warfare as an act of politics, which is non-linear in nature. While frequently criticized as a proponent of attrition and total warfare, such interpretations miss the fact that Clausewitz rejected total war as a practical model of conflict by noting that real-world experience shows that few conflicts are carried to their logical and absolute extreme. Instead, Clausewitz sought a theory that coupled violence of politics, human emotion and judgment, and complex interactions and probability (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]). [http://www.amazon.com/War-Carl-von-Clausewitz/dp/0691018545/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-5846572-5913528?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182750284&sr=1-2 On War]

'''1937 - Landau''' published '' On the Theory of Phase Transitions... [Landau1937]''
The history of the theory of critical phenomena and phase transitions starts with Landau's works of 1937, where he introduced fundamental notions of spontaneous symmetry violation and the order parameter as a measure of this violation. It is impossible to exaggerate the impact which this idea had on practically all branches of physics and non-linear mechanics. Due to the concept of the order parameter, phase transition theory became a cross-disciplinary branch of science, much like the theory of oscillations. Landau gave simple prescriptions, how to describe order in terms of irreducible representations of the symmetry group. Around 1960 Landau formulated the general problem of fluctuation-driven phase transitions via a calculation of the path integral over all configurations of the order parameter.
[Landau1937] L.D. Landau, ZhETF 7, 19 (1937); Phys. Zs. Sowjet. 11, 26 (1937).

'''1941 - Kolmogorov''' proposed a scaling approach for hydrodynamic turbulence.
[Kolmogorov1941] A.N. Kolmogorov, DAN SSSR, 30, 299; Ib. 31, 99 (1941).

'''1944 - Onsager''' published an exact solution of the 2-d Ising model [Onsager1944], a truly exceptional (even singular) accomplishment. As of 2007, despite numerous attempts, 3D Ising model has eluded exact solution. It is even conjectured that the exact solution is in general not possible.
[Onsager1944] L. Onsager, Phys, Rev. 65, 117 (1944);

'''1944 - Erwin Schrodinger''' published ''What is Life?'' I'm not the right person to speak to it's biological significance, but apparently it was a source of inspiration for Watson and Crick. It is an amazing read regarding both the nature of science, the relationships between statistics and laws, and transitions between cells as matter and cells as life (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]). [http://www.amazon.com/What-Life-Matter-Autobiographical-Sketches/dp/0521427088/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-5846572-5913528?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182746704&sr=8-1 What is Life?]

'''1948 - Norbert Wiener''' published '' Cybernetics ''
He used the newly formed fields of statistical Information and Control Theory to establish the role of feedback and nonlinearity in engineering design and biology. [Cybernetics]'' (Contributed by J. DeRosa)''

'''1950 - Norbert Weiner''' published '' The Human Use of Human Beings ''

In this companion book to Cybernetics, Weiner expounded on the principles of Cybernetics with no equations and warned of the dangers of scientific research that did not consider the social implications of the technology and research. [Cybernetics]'' (Contributed by J. DeRosa)''

'''1956 - W. Ross Ashby''' published by his estate '' Cybernetics''
Available online at http://prp.vub.ac.be/books/introCyb.pdf This book precisely defines the principles of cybernetics as applied to systems. It is a precursor to the work of Wiener and Shannon. A classic for anyone intersted in General Systems Theory. This is a deep root.

'''1958 - Norbert Weiner''' published '' Nonlinear Problems in Random Theory ''
This book is decidedly mathematical and lays out the framework for the general functional analysis of nonlinear systems. For a clear exposition of the mathematics see the book written by one of his students M. Schetzen ''The Volterra and Wiener Theory of Nonlinear Sy''stems [System Theory]'' (Contributed by J. DeRosa)''

'''1959 - ''' It is realized [Levanyuk1959],[Ginsburg1960] that mean field theory neglects fluctuations which grow rapidly near the phase transition point. Thus, mean field theory works well outside a small vicinity of the transition point and is invalidated by fluctuations within it. In this way the necessity to include fluctuations in phase transition theory was first recognized. Simultaneously Fisher [Fisher1959] approached the problem by attempting to generalize Onsager's results to non-exactly-solvable problems. By introducing critical exponents he made the decisive step to scaling.
[Levanyuk1959] A.I. Levanyuk, ZhETF 36, 810 (1959); [Fisher1959] M.E. Fisher, Physica 25, 521 (1959); [Ginsburg1960] V.L. Ginsburg, Fizika Tverdogo Tela (Solid State Physics, in Russian) 2, 2034 (1960).

'''1961 -Industrial dynamics. Pegasus Communications. Forrester'''
Forrester is the founder of System Dynamics, which deals with the simulation of interactions between objects in dynamic systemsIndustrial Dynamics was the first book Forrester wrote using System Dynamics to analyze industrial business cycles. '''Contributed by R. BeLue)''

'''1964 - Patashinskii and Pokrovskii''' in Russia formulated the field theory equations and conjectured correctly that the correlation functions of any order should obey scaling laws [Patashin1964]. Soon thereafter, they introduced the theory of scaling [Patashin1966], first presented at the International Symposium on Phase Transitions in Dubna, May 1965. The physical picture was that, for critical fluctuations the distribution of the order parameter remains invariant with temperature if the length scale and other observables are adjusted properly. The theory was physically equivalent to Kadanoff's formulation, which was published 4 months later[Kadanoff1966]. In addition, in his work Kadanoff first formulated a program of elimination of short-range degrees of freedom by decimation of spin blocks, an embryo of the Wilson Renormalization Group, though still not a practical tool for calculations.
[Patashin1964] A.Z. Patashinskii and V.L. Pokrovskii, ZhETF, 50, 439 (1964) [Sov. Phys. JETP 19, 677 (1964)]; [Patashin1966] A.Z. Patashinskii and V.L. Pokrovskii, ZhETF 50, 439 (1966) [Sov. Phys. JETP 23, 292 (1966)]; [Kadanoff1966] L.P. Kadanoff, Physics 2, 263 (1966).

'''1968 - Polyakov and Migdal''' used such physical requirements as causality and unitarity, which permitted, in principle, numerical calculations of the critical exponents [Pol1968], [Mig1968]. Unfortunately, the equations were too complicated to solve using computers of that time.
[Pol1968] A.M. Polyakov, ZhETF 55, 1026 (1968) [Sov. Phys. JETP 28, 533 (1969)].
[Mig1968] A.A. Migdal, ZhETF 55, 1964 (1968) [Sov. Phys. JETP 28, 1036 (1969)].

'''1971 - Kadanoff and Wegner''' proved the universality hypothesis.
[Kadanoff1971] L.P. Kadanoff and F.J. Wegner, Phys. Rev. B4, 3989 (1971).
According to this hypothesis, the critical behavior is determined by symmetry and how it is violated. All phase transitions may be divided into universality classes.

'''1972 - Ackoff (updated in 2006) ''' publishe '''On Purposeful Systems''' Ackoff is the Wharton School grand master of using puposeful (teleological) systems in the analysis of business enterprises. He has great anecdotes, like "why is it when you have a headache you put an aspirin in your stomach, but when there is problem in sales, they fire the sales manager?" COULD COMPLEXITY BE LURKING? [See the citation for Gharajedaghi for more in Ackoff]

'''1972 - Wilson''' introduced renormalization group approach, which elucidated the structure of the theory to the extent that standard methods could be employed. This effectively marks the birth of the theory of phase transitions, scaling and renormalization group as we know it today. Kenneth Wilson went on to receive a Nobel Prize in Physics, 1982.
[Wilson1972] K.G. Wilson, Phys, Rev. Lett. 28, 548 (1972).

'''1977 - Ilya Prigogine ''' wins the ''Nobel Prize in Chemistry ''

'''1978- Thomas Schelling''' published '''Micromotives and Macrobehavior''' Contains the seminal article on racial segregation which is now referred to as the Schelling Model. The book marks a notable departure from Schelling's previous work on military strategy and deterrence, but retains his emphasis on strategic interaction and emergence (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''1981 - Peter Checkland''' published ''Systems Thinking, Systems Practice'' but the 1999 edition has a 30 year perspective on the hard verses soft sciences applied to systems thinking. Checkland represents a class of engineers who are applying complexity science to real-world problems.

'''1984 - Ilya Prigogine and Isabelle Stengers''' publish ''Order out of Chaos: Man's New Dialogue with Nature''

'''1985 - Robert Axelrod''' published '''The Evolution of Cooperation'''. Probably the most famous analysis of the iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD) game, conducted via a computational round-robin tournament (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''1992 - William McNeill''' published '''The Global Condition: Conquerors, Catastrophes, & Human Community'''. This book is a series of lectures that McNeill delivered Clark University in 1979. They mark a concise description of his view of world history as the interplay between human purposes and worldly processes, and the interactions between three dissipative systems - physical, biological, and symbolic.

It brought the world of complexity science to the attention of the general public. --[[User:Mpoynton|Mpoynton]] 16:43, 27 June 2007 (MDT)

'''1995 - John H. Holland''' published ''Hidden Order''
This is the book in which John Holland made the famous quote "...with a careful research plan,under controlled conditions, using selected agents, complex adaptive systems do pretty much what they damn please." [Complexity]

'''1995 - Clifford Rogers''' published '''The Military Revolution Debate'''. This book is a collection of articles on military history. The articles review the definition and consequences of the ''Military Revolution'' in early modern Europe, a period of far reaching technological, social, economic, and political change - starting a process that ended feudalism in Europe, gave birth to the modern nation state, and European global exploration and colonization. Most importantly, it marks one of the first instances where Stephen Gould's concept of punctuated equilibrium is advanced as a hypothesis for explaining radical and rapid military and political change (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''1996 - Ervin Laszlo''' published '''The Systems View of the WOrld'''. Like many of the books oulined here, this is about complexity and a holistic view of the world, but with one main exception: it is done from the viewpoint of the Systems Theorist.

'''1996 - Herbert Simon''' published the 3rd edition of '''The Sciences of the Artificial'''. A critical examination of systems design, development, and adaption. Simon advances a science of design beginning from the simplest of systems and works his way through the relationship between complexity and hierarchy. In the process he travels through psychology, computer science, economics, policy analysis and engineering, and even the departmental architecture of modern universities (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''1997 - Alfred Crosby''' published '''The Measure of Reality: Quantification in Western Europe, 1250-1600'''. Don't be fooled by the title, this is a fascinating book about how our very understanding of the world itself was transformed by shedding numbers of their qualitative properties, inventing systems of measurement, and devising tools and methods for information categorization and visualization. I suspect that our collective efforts in theorizing, measuring, and visualizing complex, non-linear systems may be akin to the challenges posed by the earlier efforts to conceive of time and space, and that similar breakthroughs may (hopefully) be evident in our own lifetimes (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''1997 - Yaneer Bar Yam''', published '''Dynamics of Complex Systems'''. This is a highly technical and wide-ranging book on modern complexity theory. Yaneer operates the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI)and each year hosts the International Conference on Complex Systems. Think of him as SFI-East - only smaller.

'''1997 - Geoffrey West, Jim Brown, and Brian Enquist''', published their first paper explaining the fractal origin of quarter power scaling in biology. This collaboration between an SFI/LANL physicist and two UNM biologists continues to rock ecology (from Paul H.).

'''1999 - Jamshid Gharajedaghi''' published the '''Systems Thinking'''. This is a must for those interested in the the management sciences. Gharajedaghi was Science Advisor to the Shah of Iran, who had lots of PhD's running the countries modernization programs. But something was wrong. Things were not working as planned. They hired Russ Ackoff from Wharton to help, and he and Gharajedaghi started what is today know as Systems Thinking in business. '' (Contributed by J. DeRosa)''

'''2002 - Stephen Wolfram''' published '''A New Kind of Science'''. A tome on using discrete dynamical systems (focussing on cellular automata) as tools to study complexity in real world systems and the nature of complexity itself. Note that much of the underlying science was published in Wolfram's journal articles in the 1980's. Important to note also is that many consider parts of the work as controversial for taking the ideas too far. (Contributed by [[Joseph_Lizier]]). See [http://www.wolframscience.com/ Wolfram Science]

'''2002 - John Lewis Gaddis''' published '''The Landscape of History: How Historians Map the Past'''. An excellent examination of the theory and practice of history through the lens of complexity, with strong emphasis on the nature of evolution, the role of contingency, and the role of historian as an interpreter of past (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''2002 - Philip Bobbitt''' published '''The Shield of Achilles: War, Peace, and the Course of History'''. Bobbitt puts forward a theory of politics and history that fuses international politics and strategy with domestic politics and constitutional law. Bobbitt argues that states exist between the competing demands of international survival and the constraints of domestic legitimacy and constitutional order. The book is both a large scale conceptual application of Simon's ''Science of Design'' advanced in '''The Sciences of the Artificial''', and an examination of application of ''evolution'' applied to the creation and endurance of independent polities (Contributed by [[Aaron Frank]]).

'''The Roots of Rock and Roll''' go deep into Gospel, Rythmn and Blues, Folk and Bluegrass - even the familiar I-IV-I-V-IV-I chord progressions can be found in Bach and Beethoven. When Elvis Presley and the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956 and 1964, it was significant because huge audiences tuned in every Sunday night at 8:00. Rock and Roll became a legitimate part of the culture. When the Rolling stones hit the concert circuit in 1969, it was significant because they were billed as the greatest rock and roll band in the world, but also because they became drugs-sex-rock-and-roll cultural icons of the new social norms.

Here we all sit in '''the Rock and Roll of Complexity Science'''. Our roots are in physics, biology, sociology, etc. Collectively we know the “who, what and why” of the key milestones in our fields that led us here: '''The Roots of Complexity Science'''. This is a project for all those who wish to participate from the CSSS Class of 07. Who knows where the trajectory will lead?

==Anyone for Bridge?==
* I realise this may be betraying my inner geek a little too much, but I was just wondering if anyone at the school was interested in getting together for a bit of just-for-fun bridge? If enough people are interested, then maybe we could organise a regular evening while we're here. It's a great game and should appeal to all complexity students! (9 out of 10 Grandmothers can't be wrong......!) Any takers, just get in touch with me! [[http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Kernuack Hannah]]
You are a geek. I like playing 500. I would be up for learning Bridge if people are patient. [Ryan]

Have to admit that I played some bridge a loooong time ago... forgotten most about it by now though. But I'm willing to give it a shot (hope for your own sake that you're better in bridge than in pool Hannah ;D) [Johan]

its time to face facts: we all are geeks (you too have been tainted with this brush ryan!) and should be wallowing in it. can this session be titled "everything you ever wanted to know about bridge but were too afraid to ask?" if so, I am in [dan]

I'm sure I can manage to articulate the basics to a willing audience ;o) Hannah

- should we try for a further "refinement" on sunday evening? cheese and port?? [dan]

I know I missed the boat on the first night but I would like to learn this rule-filled game properly. I've played a couple of times many years ago so perhaps some cheese and port will jog my memory [[http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Alex_Healing Alex]]

Andrew - not sure where to go yet, but it would be fun.

I have a one man tent, would be willing to purchase a 2-man tent if there were others interested in heading out.

I don't think I can go that weekend, but I have a tent that'll fit two people comfortably that I'm happy to lend to anyone who wants to go. [[http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/James_Battin James]]

yeah I could be keen - I haven't got any gear though (aside from boots, pack and water-resistant jacket). will talk turkey during week, dan

perhaps we could find a place to rent tents for the night? -mike

Very likely interested. Plans for a location? Have tent, sleeping bag, boots, car. I have a book of day hikes, but no good topographic maps for overnight camping. -Ben

I have good (35,000:1) topo maps of santa fe/los alamos area & mountain sports (i think this is the right name) in town rents tents (but not s-bags). how about we round table this say mon 17th/tues 18th?? [dan]

One of the few great places open Sunday evening is [http://www.fodors.com/miniguides/mgresults.cfm?destination=santa_fe@140&cur_section=din&property_id=414344 Harry's Roadhouse].

For fine dining [http://www.geronimorestaurant.com/home2.html Geronimo] comes highly recommended.

== mountain biking ==
the dale ball trails starting from the back of st john's provide 22mi+ of what looks like pretty nice trails for biking (& walking!), plus there are many more excellent trails local [http://forums.mtbr.com/forumdisplay.php?s=2e6c56b6542d2b67e39037cc578ead2e&f=91 and otherwise], and there is also a local bus for $2/day to access some of these. I know aussie simon has aquired a trusty steed and I also have a bike arriving so drop me a line if you keen to get amongst it - it is also possible to rent bikes in town, cheers, [http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Daniel_lester aussie dan]

- yeeeeah. mike - talk to simon re: stealing a bike from him - dan

ok, my bike has turned up (finally) so am keen to have a hack at dale ball trails fri (15th) morn before breeky after losing my lungs and almost my dinner tonight. anyone keen to join? simon, can i borrow your 15mm spanner, I only trust finger-tightened pedals so much... dan

== Anybody sticking around after the CSSS is over ?==
I (Amelie) plan to stay in the region (NM, Colorado, ..) for a week or so after the school. The best would be to rent a car and visit with somebody from the school .. let me know if you're interested :) --[http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Amelie_veron Amelie]

==Grand Canyon?==
Is anyone else considering visiting the Grand Canyon after CSSS? 
Flagstaff, AZ is about 5 hours away, which is a good place to spend the night with GC a relatively short drive away.
If other people are interested I could drive the long way home to Tucson passing by Flagstaff and spend a couple of days. 
I was there a couple of years ago, but I didn’t have my camera with me then. I would like to fix that stupid mistake. 
In any case, email me if interested. [http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Jose_Delgado jd]
 
 
btw, for those who asked, I checked and for the Grand Canyon the only thing that requires a permit in advance is overnight camping or overnight hiking.
 
 
I'll also be headed home this way and have nowhere to be until Monday, so I'm up for it. Vikas

I've been to Conchas, fun smaller area with an easy approach. Never been to Palomas, has a substantially longer approach. I have topos available for both; descriptions and some of the routes are described at the links above. [[http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/Vikas_Shah Vikas Shah]]
**''Update 6/7 1:30PM :'' My car is full. If anyone else would like to come, we'll have to arrange for another driver to come.
**''Update 6/8 8:50AM :'' There was unfortunately an injury, and one of the people going had to back out. There's room for one more.

==Hike to Nambé Lake, Saturday, June 9th==
Folks: we will hike to Nambé Lake, which is a less-strenuous hike in the same area as Santa Fe Baldy. The guide book says the lake is a “special treat”, and there are apparently lots of wildflowers. It is a 5-hour trip (including lunch stop), 7 miles return. The plan is to meet at 9.30am in the usual spot (same place from where the shuttle buses take us to SFI).

The first ten confirmed people are: me (Ryan), Simon, Mike, Elise, Monika, John, Dan, James, Hannah, Fred…

Please add yourself to this list if you want to come (apologies if you gave me a verbal commitment and I forgot).

John has kindly offered to drive and we will also be renting one car. If you want to come and aren't on the list above, please figure out your own transport arrangements (I think Michigan Will might be driving too).

Please bring: lunch (we can stop at a store in the morning); water (2 litres); a raincoat; a warm jumper; decent footwear; sun protection.

== Sunday, June 10: Join me for Church, 11am ==
I'm planning to go to visit a nearbye [http://www.calvarybaptistsantafe.com Baptist church], all are welcome to come. I will likely ride there. I can arrange another bike, or if we are many, perhaps a car. Please let me know below, or by email if you'd prefer. If you wanted to join me for Bible study on a one-off or weekly basis (this would be sitting round to read a passage of the Bible and discuss it) then let me know (again, by email if you'd prefer). All persuassions and questions welcome! [[Simon_Angus]] (s.angus AT unsw.edu.au)

I'm interested in both, but don't have a bike or car to get to church... how far is it? Heather (hbeil AT email.unc.edu)

==Sunday, June 10 - Hike up Atalaya==
Anyone up for a hike this afternoon? I know a bunch of you are probably hiked out after yesterday's excursion, but if anyone would like to tackle Atalaya this afternoon, there is a group of us leaving around 3pm. We'll meet on the road by the dorms at the top of the hill at 3. Hope to see some of you there! ->Josh

==Monday, June 11==
===7:00 soccer=== perhaps low attendance due to the Matlab tutorial.

==Tuesday, June 12==
===6:30 ultimate=== @ soccer fields

==Wednesday, June 13==
===morning bird/wildlife walk=== Are you getting too much sleep? Do your days feel empty? Join us for a morning bird/wildlife walk. The general plan is to be on the trail by 6:00 am and return before the end of breakfast. If we have enough vehicles, the Audubon center at the end of Upper Canyon Road (just a few minutes' drive, no dogs allowed [http://www.audubon.org/chapter/nm/nm/rdac/audubon_center/rdnature/natural_history.html link]) is probably our best option. If we don't have transportation, we'll just head up the trail near campus. Fred and I both have binoculars that can be shared, but if anyone else has a pair they can lend to the endeavor, that'd be great. I'll post more details as the week progresses and we get a better idea of who's coming. Drop me a line or leave your name below if you're interested. [[http://www.santafe.edu/events/workshops/index.php/James_Battin James]](james.battin at noaa.gov)
===Join us for "Music on the Hill" at St. Johns college from 6-8pm=== for food and drink; this Wed is '''Southwest Jazz Orchestra''' by Big Band Jazz. For more info see, [http://www.stjohnscollege.edu/asp/main.aspx?page=6981 schedule here].
===7:00 soccer===

There is a concert on the soccer fields tonight, so we have to move the game.

The GAME IS ON. We're playing down on the fields by the public school on Camino de Cruz Blanca. Turn left out the front entrance of St. John's and left again. The fields will be on your right. It's a short walk from St. John's.

We'll play from 7:00 till dark, unless everyone goes to Rockmore's lecture.

Ben

===7:00 Getting Older... El Farol....=== the inevitable is looming large & I am once again "getting older". I will be marking expiration of my 30th year with traditional comiseratory drinks at el foral & all and sundry are welcome to chastise and deride. it will be a great night!! will be leaving st johns around 7, love to see you there, cheers,

old man dan

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but I think it is actually the end of your 31st year... I will be there to celebrate.

Ryan.

I can drive revelers over to the bar from Dan Rockmore's lecture - do you think you will still be there around 9:30 or 10P?? --Mollie

Actually I am planning on making Dan R's lecture too so I plan to be at El Farol from 9pm-ish onwards - of course, roll down for a drink beforehand if you want too!! cheers

dan (l)

I'll see if I can rally the soccer guys to head out after our game. --Ben

===Bandelier Nat'l Monument/Frijoles Canyon Trail/Los Alamos=== Anyone interested in hiking the frijoles canyon trail to the bandelier nat'l monument? The monument is a group of ancient ruins/caves/etc and supposed to be beautiful (and a quick drive). The Frijoles Canyon Trail is an "easy walk" to the ruins. It's also really close to Los Alamos... Heather (hbeil at email.unc.edu).

Me too. Mike W.

Sounds like a nice trip, I'll join you :-) /Johan

Me too, plus I have a car, if needed. -Chris

I'd like to go on a hike this weekend, count me in if it's just a day trip -Alex (alexhealing (at) gmail.com)

I'd like to join the group also. -Natasha

If there is room, I'd be in. -Will B. (wbraynen at gmail dot com)

I am in - Juergen

I'll be at the parking circle at 9 am - Chris

===Soccer at 7:00===
Due to the concert, we'll be playing on the far fields. Left out the front entrance, left again, and look for the fields on your right. Should be a short walk from St. John's.

Measuring Information Transfer

2007-06-19T01:23:38Z

Joseph Lizier: /* Readings */

{{CSSS 2007 Santa Fe}}

==Background==

Dependencies between variables or processes in systems are often quantified using correlation coefficients (income <-> height, etc.). However, correlation only captures linear dependencies. In addition the dynamical aspect (e.g. common history) and the direction of information transfer in the processes under consideration are neglected. A recently proposed measure called '''Transfer Entropy''' was specifically designed to overcome those limitations by the clever use of conditioned transition probabilities.

In theory, Transfer Entropy, is able to quantify non-/linear directed dependencies in any dynamical system. In practice, the transition probabilities/-densities have to be estimated from the data.

That's the reason, why '''we need your data'''! If you happen to have good multivariate time series data (e.g. bio-chemical/medical/logical dynamical systems, longitudinal studies in sociology, etc.), which you expect to be holding interesting dependencies of any kind, let us know.

Self Organized Criticality

2007-06-08T14:26:35Z

Joseph Lizier: /* Interested? Sign below */

= Overview =
You may have heard about experiments on the sand pile, or otherwise seen Per Bak's work on so-called self-organized criticality (SOC). But what is it?

During a dinner conversation the other night, it seemed that my lit-review knowledge of the concepts might be of help to some people. Things that could be covered:
* what does it mean for a system to be critical?
* why do systems not usual stay here?
* so what is SOC?
* when do I know when I've got SOC?
** fractals and power spectra
** separation of time-scales
* how does SOC relate to Complex Systems? Is it the answer to a unified theory of Complex Systems?
* some comments/criticisms of SOC

= Interested? Sign below =

Thanks, Simon (Room 21 Calliope)

Yeah! Mike (SUITE 5)

I'd be interested. --James (Calliope 24 Penthouse Suite)

for sure, cheers dan (poly25)

I'm also interested! Fred (Calliope 23)

Cellular Automata

Joseph Lizier: /* Schedule */

Back to [[CSSS_2007_Santa_Fe-Tutorials]]

== Overview ==

A tutorial on Cellular Automata (CAs) was a requested tutorial (not sure by whom).

It doesn't look like CAs will be covered in any of the modules, so I'm happy to do a tutorial on them. I will check this with Dan before scheduling.

Am currently thinking of the following format:
# Micro-mechanics of CAs (how they work)
# Example tools to run them
# Looking at several interesting CAs
# Emergent structure in CAs
# Computation in CAs

Please add requests if I've missed an important topic. Happy to co-facilitate if anyone else is interested in doing so. In any case, I think it would be best run informally, so you can add your expertise without formally facilitating.

As a follow-up, I'll put up a suggested tutorial on my work on local information dynamics (i.e. computation) in complex systems, for which CAs are used as example complex systems.

Cool, that looks like critical mass.

I'm going to suggest Wednesday June 13, 9 am. I'll add it to the schedule. Complain below if that's not good and if there are a few it's not good for we'll see if we can move it.
