Human Carcinogenesis: Toward a Unified Theory

Toward a Unified Theory of the Human Ecosystem

INTRODUCTION In pursuit of a thorough, scientific understanding of the world around us, biological ecologists and social scientists have each worked within their own academic disciplines to develop a wide range of empirical studies, methods, and models to identify key drivers, processes, and controls that regulate human behavior and interactions with the environment. However, most studies have ...

Toward a Unified Theory of Resumption

Toward a unified theory: threads in a tapestry.

INTRODUCTION In 1956, when I began doing theoretical physics, the study of elementary particles was like a patchwork quilt. Electrodynamics, weak interactions, and strong interactions were clearly separate disciplines, separately taught and separately studied. There was no coherent theory that described them all. Developments such as the observation of parity violation, the successes of quantum...

Toward a Unified Theory of Human-Agent Modeling: A Position Paper

Approaches to Human-Agent Modeling can broadly be categorized as the use of agents to emulate (1) the outcome and (2) the process of human behavior. The first category can be further sub-divided into emulating the outcomes produced by individual humans and by groups of humans. This position paper proposes this categorization as the core of a unified theory of human-modeling.

Software Complexity: Toward a Unified Theory of Coupling and Cohesion

Knowledge work is generally regarded as involving complex cognition, and few types of knowledge work are as important in the modern economy as software engineering (SE). A large number of measures have been developed to analyze software and its concomitant processes with the goals of evaluating, predicting and controlling its complexity. While many effective measures can be used to achieve thes...
