Variation, competition and selection in the self- organisation of compositionality
This chapter discusses how Darwin's evolution theory can be applied to explain language evolution at a cultural level. So, rather than viewing language evolution as a process in which the users adapt biologically to learn language, languages themselves adapt to the learning abilities of individuals. Within this framework, languages evolve through variation, competition and selection. Invention ...
متن کاملIndividual Differences : Variation By Design
Anthony J. Greene & William B Levy University of Virginia Correspondence: Anthony Greene University of Virginia Department of Neurosurgery, HSC Box 420 Charlottesville, VA 22908 [email protected] www.people.virginia.edu/~ajg3x 804.924.0356 Abstract: Stanovich & West appear to overlook the adaptivity of variation. Behavioral variability, both between and within individuals, is an absolute neces...
متن کاملNanostructures Using Self-organisation
In the field of the functionalisation of surfaces for biological applications, we have developed Self-Assembly monolayers (SAMs) of isocyanates on oxidized silicon wafers (1,0,0) by reaction of isocyanatodecyltrichlorosilane with the Si-OH groups of the surface. Excellent reactivity of the isocyanate monolayer with different nucleophiles was demonstrated. In particular, the semicarbazide group ...
متن کاملAuxin and Self-Organisation
This essay develops a conceptual framework to understand the role of auxin for the genesis of plant organisms. This framework has to consider the specificities of the plant lifestyle and underscores the fact that plant organisation is highly modular. The assembly of these modules is controlled through robust selforganisation driven by autocatalytic loops linked to lateral inhibition which can b...
متن کاملSelf-organisation or Selfcreation
The currently fashionable theory of self-organisation has its origins in statistical physics. Many believe that the underlying physics model, which is based on inanimate systems, can be employed to explain and predict the emergence of social structures, even of history itself. Some are even convinced that it will be possible to construct a social physics to displace the social sciences. The pur...
