SFI Applied Complexity Fellow Sam Zhang wants to understand the causal mechanisms that drive outcomes — particularly the ...

Exploring complex social systems with a quantitative approach involves abstracting rich and nuanced data. Many tools for ...

Monte Carlo simulation is widely used to price complex financial instruments. Recent theoretical results and extensive computer testing indicate that deterministic methods may be far superior in speed ...

We argue that the coordination of the activities of individual complex agents enables a system to develop and sustain complexity at a higher level. We exemplify relevant mechanisms through computer ...

It is shown that the distribution of word frequencies for randomly generated texts is very similar to Zipf's law observed in natural languages such as English. The facts that the frequency of ...

In the present Reply we restrict our focus only onto the main erroneous claims by Pessoa and Costa in their recent Comment (Entropy 2020, 22, 1110).

We report a noise-induced delay of bifurcation in a simple pulse-coupled neural circuit. We study the behavior of two neural oscillators, each individually governed by saddle-node dynamics, with ...

John’s presentation at the “stab at time” workshop began with a review of the history of concepts of time. Shifting perspectives, from the Greek philosophers, to Newton and Leibniz’s mechanics, to ...

In this second working group on the brain we shall build on some of the foundational discussions raised in the first meeting. These included significant debate around the merits of correlation vs.

Our working group aims to explore the role of aging and adaptation in infectious diseases operating over multiple organizational and temporal scales. General areas include immune system dynamics and ...
