• What fails and when?

  “What fails and when? A process view of innovation failure” presents: Research on innovation failure has proliferated lately but with little theoretical attention given to the diversity of the concept.

• An Informational Approach to Emergence

  Claudio Gnoli gives an updated view on emergence in “Foundations of Science“ Emergence can be described as a relationship between entities at different levels of organization, that looks especially puzzling at the transitions between the major levels of matter, life, cognition and culture. Indeed, each major level is dependent on the lower one not just…

• On principles of emergent organization

  Adam Rupe, James P. Crutchfield published “On principles of emergent organization“: After more than a century of concerted effort, physics still lacks basic principles of spontaneous self-organization. To appreciate why, we first state the problem, outline historical approaches, and survey the present state of the physics of self-organization. This frames the particular challenges arising from mathematical intractability and…
