In a rented convent in Santa Fe, a revolution has been brewing. The activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics such as Murray Gell-Mann and Kenneth Arrow, and pony-tailed graduate students, mathematicians, and computer scientists down from Los Alamos. They've formed an iconoclastic think tank called the Santa Fe Institute, and their radical idea is to create a new science called complexity. These mavericks from academe share a deep impatience with the kind of linear, reductionist thinking that has dominated science since the time of Newton. Instead, they are gathering novel ideas about interconnectedness, coevolution, chaos, structure, and order - and they're forging them into an entirely new, unified way of thinking about nature, human social behavior, life, and the universe itself. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell - and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today. They want to know why ancient ecosystems often remained stable for millions of years, only to vanish in a geological instant - and what such events have to do with the sudden collapse of Soviet communism in the late 1980s. They want to know why the economy can behave in unpredictable ways that economists can't explain - and how the random process of Darwinian natural selection managed to produce such wonderfully intricate structures as the eye and the kidney. Above all, they want to know how the universe manages to bring forth complex structures such as galaxies, stars, planets, bacteria, plants, animals, and brains. There are commonthreads in all of these queries, and these Santa Fe scientists seek to understand them. Complexity is their story: the messy, funny, human story of how science really happens. Here is the tale of Brian Arthur, the Belfast-born economist who stubbornly pushed his theories of economic ch
第一次看这本书是在大学图书馆阅览室,当时偶然看到这本书便撒不了手,差点让我挂了一门专业课. 这本书不是讲具体的哪门科学或者技术,而是讲的一种考虑问题的方式,也就是马哲里边说的方法论吧. 全书以小说的形式展开去,将要阐述的观点散布在故事情节中,避免了令人望而却步的生硬...

評分桑塔费笔记1苦行僧的粗布衣服 李华芳 “苦行僧的粗布衣服”是《复杂》的最后一章中的一个标题,目前,我的想法也真是苦行僧一样的自我摸索,我模糊的感到头脑里有一种想法正在清晰,只差一点点我就可以抓到它了。这就是我目前的情况。我的想法最早是从coase那里来的,命令作...

評分每当已有的科学架构不足以解决一个集合的问题,新的学科就会孕育而出。不同于其它基于某学科而新设置的亚学科,复杂性科学是一门全新的科学,和传统的还原论相反,它呼吁将不同层次的元素的结合。即,“整体大于部分之和”。 有人认为科学之美在于简单,而复杂却和简单相悖。...
let me think of something about city, what we talk about the city in 1960 is more like something this book related to
评分是一本敘述性的書,不過這種題材不是我的胃口。我喜歡直接去講宇宙的道理。不過,這本書的有些內容,確實有enlight的作用,比如increaing return, network等。我非常建議,看看。
评分精彩至極。
评分反饋組織、復製共生、宏觀微觀、混沌有序、進化平衡……掌握瞭復雜係統的人,將成為是未來的超級力量
