Evolution of Information and Complexity in an Ever-Expanding Universe
Using the usual definitions of information and entropy in quantum gravity and statistical mechanics and the existing views about the relation between information and complexity, we examine the evolution of complexity in an ever expanding universe.
متن کاملOn the Evolution Complexity of Design Patterns
Software co-evolution can be characterised as a way to “adjust” any given software implementation to a change (“shift”) in the software requirements. In this paper, we propose a formal definition of evolution complexity to precisely quantify the cost of adjusting a particular implementation to a change (“shift”) in the requirements. As a validation, we show that this definition formalises intui...
متن کاملStellar Evolution and Social Evolution: A Study in Parallel Processes*
The process of evolution can be seen at work in all domains of nature. It has seemed instructive to point out a number of parallels between the development of stars and the development of human societies. For example, the use of the comparative method has been prominent in the study of evolution in both fields. Also, there are parallels between the two, such as the use of stages to distinguish ...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Two: Dyadic Processes and Evolving Social Aggregations
Computational models of aggregated social agents have two major faults: (1) inter-individual entrainment is ignored; and (2) rule-sets governing behavior are invariant to history. Together these shortcomings impede our ability to generate realistic models of complex evolving social processes. To illustrate how even simple couplings within an established dyad generates unexpected outcomes, we pr...
متن کاملGenomic patterns of pleiotropy and the evolution of complexity.
Pleiotropy refers to the phenomenon of a single mutation or gene affecting multiple distinct phenotypic traits and has broad implications in many areas of biology. Due to its central importance, pleiotropy has also been extensively modeled, albeit with virtually no empirical basis. Analyzing phenotypes of large numbers of yeast, nematode, and mouse mutants, we here describe the genomic patterns...
