I'm up to my eyeballs in my paper, but this find needed to be shared ASAP because of sheer awesomeness. I'm zooming in on complexity in general. It is an excellent lens for my paper.

HQP remains descriptive.
Phase 6 does not prescribe policy, ethics, or governance models. It identifies the conditions under which stabilising behaviour becomes necessary for system survival.
This is not utopian thinking.
It is a description of resilience once complexity can no longer be simplified away.
Further work now shifts toward observation, education, and careful application.

This seems like a great summary of the current state of US society/economy/governance from a complicity science perspective.
I'm not sure I buy into the time frame of weeks until collapse, but attacking all systems at the same time makes this an uncontrollable situation even for the ones in power.
A thought-provoking talk by Dr. Jobst Heitzig of Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research on building a framework for combining physical processes of the Earth system with human interactions (politics, public opinion, etc.). Objects can be gridded data, groups/communities, or individuals; they can be part of natural systems, human-environment interactions, or cultural constructs. Sometimes several at the same time.

• THE BRAIN is less like a machine than it is like the murmurations of a flock of starlings or an orchestral symphony (or the Fediverse?)
The brain is an "interactionally complex system where functions emerge from distributed, overlapping networks of regions rather than being localised to specific areas. The interplay of constituent parts generates properties that defy reductive analysis."

New publication on persistent atrial fibrillation and cardioversion outcomes
Can signal complexity help predict early recurrence after electrical cardioversion?
We explored this question using Multi-Scale Entropy (MSE) on ECG signals.

> Birds flock. Locusts swarm. Fish school. From chaotic assemblies of life, order somehow emerges. In this episode, co-host Steven Strogatz interviews the evolutionary ecologist Iain Couzin about how and why collective behaviors arise.

Amidst the sun and rain showers so common to this part of the year, we launched our book 'The Atlas of Social Complexity' at the Institute for Advanced Study (University of Amsterdam). Many thanks to all who joined on-site and online, and special very warm thanks to Huub, Edwina, Peter and Joyce at the IAS. #complexity #ComplexityScience

Concept cover for the Atlas of Social Complexity, out this spring via Edward Elgar. I very much like the understated looks of it, plus the mysterious artwork by Odilon Redon from 1882. #ComplexNetworks #ComplexityScience #complexity
