The lowest RDequilibrium corresponds to the case where network externalities are absent. However, even in the presence of network externali...
متن کاملFormalising Harmony Seeking Rules of Morphogenesis
The 15 generative patterns of Alexander’s “Nature of Order” are descriptions of architectural structures that are seen in both buildings and in the natural world. We are investigating various aspects of complex systems, including those relating to structural patterns that may underlie those systems. Here we describe some experiments to generate 2D structures that incorporate those patterns that...

Given the multitude of sources for reconstructing the evolutionary history between entities, phylogenetic reconstruction methods often provide several trees classifying these entities. A key step in reconciling the different trees is to construct a consensus view of the history. If we consider each tree as a collection of laminar splits (two-way partitions), the primary problem in arriving at a...
