How can we create a sane world amidst chaos?
“Let us keep the discoveries and indisputable measurements of physics. But let us not become bound and fettered to the perspective of final equilibrium that they seem to suggest. A more complete study of the movements of the world oblige us, little by little, to turn it upside down; in other words, to discover that if things hold and hold together, it is only by reason of complexity, from above.”
embraced. Complex systems are those whose elements are difficult to separate, due to
interactions between elements. Complexity science aims to better understand and predict behavior of natural systems such as: weather systems, volcanic activity, tectonic plate movements, activity in a city, economic trends, and most all aspects of living organisms.

Sensing Adjacent Possibles
“all the kinds of organic molecules on, within, or in the vicinity of the Earth, say, out to twice the radius of the moon.”
“New goods and production capacities are new Actuals that are enabling constraints that do not cause, but enable new, typically unprestatable Adjacent Possible economic opportunities into which the economy “flows,” creating again new unprestatable new Actuals that enable yet new Adjacent Possibles. Economic evolution is open-ended, creative, beyond entailing law, and radically emergent.”
“that the brain functions far from thermodynamic equilibrium. We suggest that the brain moves in an extremely high-dimensional state space in a manner facilitated by the fact that it is permeated with self-similarity, both spatial and temporal. At the spatial level, self-similarity ensures that, in fractal fashion, each neuron changes in step with the cortex as a whole. In temporal fashion, self- similarity results in the power spectrum of much slower theta waves traversing the brain being identical to, if slower than, much faster gamma waves. Several times a second, the brain enters a limit cycle in which it becomes extremely sensitive to incoming stimuli. Therefore, even without mechanisms like stochastic resonance, we humans can detect stimuli as weak as a few photons, or a few parts per billion of scent. The brain is geared to process novelty as it is to process low entropy information.”
