Thank you for your engagement, your willingness to join an adventure, and your contributions to critical debate. I look forward to following the collective output of CSSS 2012 for many years to come.

Full notes, and a bibliography, for the lectures on Computation in Natural Systems, Statistics and Stochastic Processes, and Emergence can be found at CSSS Lectures.

Compiled TISEAN code for Mac OS-X 10.6 can be found here: I had to posted it on my website because the wiki does not accept .zip files.

+Thank you for your engagement, your willingness to join an adventure, and your contributions to critical debate. I look forward to following the collective output of CSSS 2012 for many years to come.
-Cris Moore's [http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~moore/automata-notes.pdf Lecture notes on automata, languages, and grammars] covers, elegantly, all of the basic automata concepts in the lecture, and much more besides. A supplement to [http://www.amazon.com/The-Nature-Computation-Cristopher-Moore/dp/0199233217/ The Nature of Computation].
+Full notes, and a bibliography, for the lectures on ''Computation in Natural Systems'', ''Statistics and Stochastic Processes'', and ''Emergence'' can be found at [http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~simon/page6/page6.html CSSS Lectures].
-Jim Crutchfield & Karl Young's paper, [http://csc.ucdavis.edu/~cmg/papers/CompOnset.pdf Computation at the Onset of Chaos] provides a detailed and compelling account of (among other things) how a naturalistic process (in this case, the logistic map) violates the bounds of both the regular and context-free grammars.
-For an introduction to the connection between (semi)groups and the regular grammars, as well as a preview of the Emergence module, see [http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5778 Effective Theories for Circuits and Automata].
-'''Data''' on the edit histories of the George Bush wikipedia article, along with ruby code to read in and otherwise play, can be downloaded [http://santafe.edu/~simon/wiki_computation.zip here].
-===''Statistics and Stochastic Processes''===
-Overall book: David J.C. MacKay, ''[http://www.amazon.com/Information-Theory-Inference-Learning-Algorithms/dp/0521642981/ Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms]''.
-'''Lecture 1''' (Thursday)
-E.T. Jaynes' [http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PR/v106/i4/p620_1 Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics] ([http://www.rpgroup.caltech.edu/courses/aph105c/2006/articles/Jaynes1957.pdf free copy]).
-Elliott W. Montroll [http://www.pnas.org/content/78/12/7839.full.pdf On the entropy function in sociotechnical systems]. Focus on the Sears-Roebuck Catalog; we will read this critically in class. Optional: [http://tuvalu.santafe.edu/~simon/Reiss_1986_SFI.pdf Thermodynamic Treatment of Nonphysical Systems: Formalism and an Example (Single-Lane Traffic)] (with Reiss & Hammerich; see touching "Note in Closing").
-Tkacik, Schneidman, Berry, and Bialek. [http://arxiv.org/abs/q-bio/0611072 Ising Models for Networks of Real Neurons]. Optional (but compelling; see back to Montroll's PNAS paper, top left of pg. 7841): Mora and Bialek, [http://arxiv.org/abs/1012.2242 Are biological systems poised at criticality?]
-'''Lectures 2 & 3''' (Friday)
-''Null models & significance testing''. DeDeo, Krakauer & Flack. [http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/8/62/1260 Evidence of strategic periodicities in collective conflict dynamics] ([http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.1556 free copy]). Optional: Weidmann & Toft. [http://cmp.sagepub.com/content/27/2/159 Promises and Pitfalls in the Spatial Prediction of Ethnic Violence] (a critical examination of the claims in [http://www.sciencemag.org/content/317/5844/1540.short this ''Science'' article].)
-''Parameter Estimation and Bayesian Reasoning''. Clauset, Shalizi & Newman [http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.1062 Power-law distributions in empirical data].
-''Model selection''. [http://cscs.umich.edu/~crshalizi/notebooks/model-selection.html Cosma Shalizi on Methods for Selection]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=folTvNDL08A David Deutsch on Scientific Argument]. Optional: [http://www.sortie-nd.org/lme/Statistical%20Papers/Burnham_and_Anderson_2004_Multimodel_Inference.pdf Multi-Model Inference (AIC)].
-'''Data''' and analysis code for the seating of students in the June 14th lecture, including basic code to implement null models for gender and field distribution, is available [http://santafe.edu/~simon/seating_game.zip here].
-'''Additional material''' on the thermodynamics of computation. Bennett, [http://www.springerlink.com/content/jn7x3365386phn46/ the Thermodynamics of Computation—a Review] ([http://www.dna.caltech.edu/courses/cs191/paperscs191/IBMJTheorPhys(21)905.pdf free copy]).
