“Reverse-Engineering Consciousness,” I address the objection of why it should be pathological complexity, rather than any other measure of complexity, that should matter for the evolution of consciousness. In the third section, “The Cambrian Explosion in Pathological Complexity,” I seek to locate...
Systems with no individual freedom will have predictable behaviour in the short term – and will not survive in the long term. Creative, innovative and evolving systems, on the other hand, will more probably survive over longer times, but will not have predictable characteristics or behaviours. ...
The other conceives of societal response as involving a variety of local activities undertaken by subunits of a complex and decentralised system. I argue that both models have considerable merit, but also that they respond to different types of challenges. Therefore, useful insights can be gained ...
The value of using the term “complexity” is in part to embrace the openness of the community through the vagueness of the term. It is therefore hard to formulate a concrete mission statement for the journal. Yet there is a dire need for a holistic approach to complexity research: From ...
In designing and operating engineering systems such as products and manufacturing systems, the goal is to reduce complexity so as to make the system robust, guarantee their long-term stability, make the system reliable, and minimize the cost. In the complexity theory presented in this keynote pap...

Rationale Despite animal evidence that methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) causes lasting damage in brain regions related to long-term memory, results regarding human memory performance have been variable. This variability may reflect the cognitive complexity of the memory tasks. However, previous studies...
CLOs can offer investors multiple benefits, both on their own and versus other fixed income sectors. Strong returns.Over the long term, CLO tranches have outperformed other corporate debt categories, including leveraged loans, high yield bonds, and investment grade bonds, and have significantly outper...
A survey of the various approaches to understand complexity has lead sometimes to a measurable quantity with a rigorous but narrow definition and other times as merely an ad hoc label. In this paper we investigate the complexity concept to avoid a vague use of the term `complexity' in ...
