COLLABORATORS IN CREATION

(2020, GA)

Both physical and social technologies follow evolutionary processes and co-evolve together as physical change spurs social change, which spurs physical change, and so on in an infinite loop.

AT THE LIMITS OF THOUGHT

(2020, SMA)

Novel algorithms allow us to forecast the behavior of complex adaptive systems that learn and evolve but these ‘high-dimensional’ data-sets defy our best ability to interpret them.

WHAT IS THE ‘PHYSICAL SUBSTRATE’ OF SOCIAL SYSTEMS?

(2018, SP)
