"The key to resilience in any complex adaptive system is the maintenance of heterogeneity, of diversity."

"The approach developed here provides a framework for linking microbial traits to Earth’s geochemical history, offering a pathway for exploring the evolution of other phenotypes in the context of Earth’s history"

Meltdown of trust in weakly governed economies.
“Neoliberal capitalism has created untrustworthy people and has (understandably) eroded not just trust in government but trust in private institutions and trust in each other. It has created a system that devours itself. None of this, however, is inevitable.”
paper arguing that it is essential to understand trust in well-functioning societies.
A strong take: any supposed dichotomy between an “individual” unit (be it a cell, an organism, a human) and its “community” (be it a tissue or a whole population) is illusory, to say the least. Individual behavior cannot be decoupled from the collective w/o breaking the system. #ComplexSystems
“Where is everybody?” Over lunch, Enrico Fermi posed a question that still haunts astrophysics (and, let me say, #ComplexSystems): if life is common in the universe, why haven't we seen evidence of it? The Drake Equation sets the stage for this paradox. Pic: NASA 1/
What's multicellularity and why is it important? Can we evolve it in the lab?
Latest #ComplexityThoughts essay on this, where I also discuss with @wcratcliff.bsky.social about his amazing experimental work.

Not only because she calls for a world without Caesars, but also because she quotes one of the fathers of modern complexity science, recognizing the power of #ComplexSystems in shaping our society.

“We argue that the evolution of order in living systems and certain nonliving physical systems obeys a common fundamental principle which we call the Darwinian dynamic.”

They were the protagonists of my first lecture on #ComplexSystems in my course on the physics of #ComplexNetworks!
