Perspective chapter: Affordance-based Reverse Engineering of Natural Systems
Dominic Halsmer,
Domenica Baez
Abstract:Affordance-based Reverse Systems Engineering (ARSE) focuses on the key enabling relationships between elements of a complex system (part-to-part affordances), and the enabling relationships between the system and its end users (end-user affordances). A novel application of this methodology to natural systems assists in a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding biological evolution, and the critical role of those precursor systems upon which it depends for success. ARSE represents an objective approach t… Show more
