The Complex Behavior of Simple Machines
This paper interprets work on understanding the actions of Turing machines operating on an initially blank tape. While this is impossible for arbitrary machines, complete characterizations of behavior are possible if the number of states is sufficiently constrained. The approach combines normalization to drastically reduce the number of machines considered, human-generated classification scheme...
متن کاملComplex Behavior of Simple Systems
Since the seminal work of Lorenz [1963] and Rössler [1976], it has been known that complex behavior (chaos) can occur in systems of autonomous ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with as few as three variables and one or two quadratic nonlinearities. Many other simple chaotic systems have been discovered and studied over the years, but it is not known whether the algebraically simplest chaot...
متن کاملThe complex genetic basis of simple behavior
Genetic approaches to dissecting complex traits in animal models increasingly use transcript levels as a molecular phenotype and as validation for predictions of gene function. A recent study in BMC Biology using these approaches shows the complexity of the genetic contribution to aggressive behavior in Drosophila.
متن کاملSimple visit behavior unifies complex Zika outbreaks
New outbreaks of Zika in the U.S. are imminent. Human nature dictates that many individuals will continue to revisit affected 'Ground Zero' patches, whether out of choice, work or family reasons - yet this feature is missing from traditional epidemiological analyses. Here we show that this missing visit-revisit mechanism is by itself capable of explaining quantitatively the 2016 human Zika outb...
متن کاملA Simple Mechanism for Complex Social Behavior
The evolution of cooperation is a paradox because natural selection should favor exploitative individuals that avoid paying their fair share of any costs. Such conflict between the self-interests of cooperating individuals often results in the evolution of complex, opponent-specific, social strategies and counterstrategies. However, the genetic and biological mechanisms underlying complex socia...
