Henry Story asked... > Perhaps a more scientific way to express this is within the language of self-organising systems. There is a lot of research there which is relevant to us. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_organising_systems > > I am a bit new to this area. Any books I must read? I responded to Henry personally with the following, which Henry suggested I send to the list... <snip> Caution: The study of self-organizing systems will keep you up all night with its coolness! ;) You asked for some book recommendations; these are a few on my shelf. I think the only "required" reading is "Out of Control," which will blow you mind, and the rest will just complement that ;) 1. Kevin Kelly, "Out of Control" 2. Mikhail Prokopenko (ed), "Advances in Applied Self-Organizing Systems" 3. Ozalp Babaoglu, et.al., "Self-star Properties in Complex Information Systems" 4. Yaneer Bar-Yam, "Dynamics of Complex Systems" 5. Martin A. Nowak, "Evolutionary Dynamics: Exploring the Equations of Life" An example chapter from Nowak: "Evolutionary Graph Theory" ;) BTW, if you haven't already, install NetLego <http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/> immediately. Serious work going on there, but very accessible! </snip> -- John S. Erickson, Ph.D. http://bitwacker.com olyerickson@gmail.com Twitter: @olyerickson Skype: @olyerickson
