  • Applied Antifragility in Natural Systems

    From Principles to Applications

    by Cristian Axenie, Roman Bauer, Oliver López Corona, Jeffrey West ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    As coined in the book of Nassim Taleb, antifragility is a property of a system to gain from uncertainty, randomness, and volatility, opposite to what fragility would incur. An antifragile system’s response to external perturbations is beyond robust, such that small stressors can strengthen the future response of the system by adding a strong anticipation component. Such principles are already well ... Read more

  • From Matter to Life

    Information and Causality

    Edited by Sara Imari Walker, Paul C. W. Davies, George F. R. Ellis ...
    Recent advances suggest that the concept of information might hold the key to unravelling the mystery of life's nature and origin. Fresh insights from a broad and authoritative range of articulate and respected experts focus on the transition from matter to life, and hence reconcile the deep conceptual schism between the way we describe physical and biological systems. A unique cross-disciplinary ... Read more

  • The Cortex and the Critical Point

    Understanding the Power of Emergence

    by John M. Beggs ...
    How the cerebral cortex operates near a critical phase transition point for optimum performance.Individual neurons have limited computational powers, but when they work together, it is almost like magic. Firing synchronously and then breaking off to improvise by themselves, they can be paradoxically both independent and interdependent. This happens near the critical point: when neurons are poised ...
