Evolutionary Perspective on Collective Decision Making,ons. We provide a new way to navigate social dynamics of collective decision making by interpreting decision makers as constituents of an evolutionary environment of an ecology of evolving solutions. We demonstrate distinct patterns of evolution with respect to three forms of variation: (1) Results

While serious students of terrorism were indeed engaged in the subject prior to this time, a far more general concern has arisen subsequently. Nonetheless, much of the subject remains shrouded in obscurity, not the least because of difficulti

Inferring Diversity: Life After Shannon,ormation in the form of constraints and Bayes’ rule which uses information in the form of data. It has been shown that these two methods are special cases of the method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME). We demonstrate how this method can be used as a measure of diversity that not only reproduces t

,Life at the “edge of chaos” in a genetic model,ility that a node outputs a 1). Here we present a different formalism in which the nodes interact through positive and negative links with the state of the nodes determined by a single, general logical function. The main parameter of the system is in this case the proportion of negative links. At a

This will have implications for any organisation in the processes and procedures it employs, especially for knowledge and information management. Whilst it is true that there is a large technical co

While the software engineering community has accepted and learned to cope, albeit in a limited way, with what Brooks termed ., i.e. intractable obstacles due to the nature of software itself, there is a consensus that the ultra large-scale systems of the future call f
