Studying Complex Adaptive Systems

Abstract: Complex adaptive systems (cas) -systems that involve many components that adapt or learn as they interact -are at the heart of important contemporary problems. The study of cas poses unique challenges: Some of our most powerful mathematical tools, particularly methods involving fixed points, attractors, and the like, are of limited help in understanding the development of cas. This paper suggests ways to modify research methods and tools, with an emphasis on the role of computer-based models, to increase our u… Show more

“…Backed by previous research in a number of disciplines (e.g. Back et al, 1987;Holland, 1992;Penrose, 1994;Kauffman, 1996;Chalmers, 1997;Back, 1999;Hameroff & Penrose, 2014) the author hypothesizes about this phenomenon as an "almost inevitable" mode of operation of complex biological systems, allowing the maintenance of switching processes close to criticality to avoid unwanted switching blockages. Hankey reckons that this improves the sensitivity of the switching processes, i.e.…”

“…Por esta razão, espera-se com o presente trabalho agregar ao debate novos insights advindos da abordagem darwinista, que utiliza o paradigma da evolução segundo a Seleção Natural como base de pesquisa, sendo nesse caso auxiliada pelas ferramentas e mecanismos estudados entre os fenômenos conhecidos como Sistemas Adaptativos Complexos (HOLLAND, 2006;LANSING, 2003).…”

“…Ou seja, um sistema composto por um grande número de agentes que interagem entre si e com o seu meio e que se adaptam ou aprendem com essas interações (HOLLAND, 2006). A partir desta visão deriva a hipótese central de nossa pesquisa que entende a desigualdade material hereditária como uma propriedade emergente desse sistema, bem como um possível estado de organização do mesmo, que seria alcançado dado um determinado conjunto de regras individuais e de parâmetros sociais e ambientais.…”
