Some influential views on emergence:
- "More is Different"
- The Calculi of Emergence & Computation at the Onset of Chaos
- Weak Emergence (M. Bedau)
Background concepts, tools and techniques:
- Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics (E.T. Jaynes; technical paper that founded Maximum Entropy methods and that enabled thermodynamic analogies to non-physical systems.)
- Scaling, Universality, and Renormalization: Three pillars of modern critical phenomena (E. Stanley; physics-centric, but not too painful.)
- Effective Field Theories, Reductionism and Scientific Explanation (S. Hartmann; a philosopher of science looks in detail at the methods of Effective Field Theories, a case study for many of the concepts that will come up.)
