A New Kind of Science
237 I now prefer to bounce around from concept to concept. Such "tornado learning" can be thrillingly effective, touching down on important concepts and leaving only dog-eared pages in its wake.

A new class of functions is presented. The structure of the algorithm, particularly the selection criteria (branching), is used to define the fundamental property of the new class.

This property puts a new light on...

متن کاملA new kind of science
Early in the 1980s Stephen Wolfram began to work in earnest upon cellular automata. These are a class of computer model which may be visualized as a set of memory locations, each containing one bit. These bits are updated in a succession of time steps. In each step, the new value of each bit depends upon the values of neighboring bits. Wolfram particularly studied the class of automata in which...
متن کاملA New Kind of Ecology?
440 BioScience May 2004 / Vol. 54 No. 5 U other basic sciences such as physics and chemistry, in which the participants are clearly defined, ecological systems consist of many interacting elements, only some of which are known and understood for any point in time and space. This makes the attempt to understand ecological systems very difficult, because not all information present in the syste...
