  • Complexity and Chaos, An Introduction

    Complexity and Chaos by Roger White


    http://www.amazon.com/Complexity-Cha.../dp/0786164956

    In the regular, clock-like world of Newtonian physics, randomness was equated with incomplete knowledge. But scientists in the late 20th century have found patterns in things formerly thought to be chaotic; their theories help explain the unstable irregular yet highly structured features of everyday experience. It now seems likely that randomness and chaos play an essential role in the evolution of the living world-and of intelligence itself.

    Roger White's discourse exists so far on the fringe of common knowledge. It talks of a conceptual revolution having its roots in four separate domains: fractals, chaos, self-organization, and emergent computation.
