In particular, it proposes that the complexity theory of law allows for the search for lost, hidden, local, bottom-up, emergent modes of legality, and for a new conceptual creativity in socio-legal work. The co
The idea provided theoretical support for the theory of self-organized criticality (SOC), which was developed independently (e.g. [Bak and Chen, 1988]). SOC postulates that complex systems evolve into a critical state and stay there. In disturbed systems, SOC is characterized by 1/f noise....
Orem’s General Theory of Nursing D. Theoretical Framework According to Orem’s GeneralTheoryofNursing‚ thetheoryof self care deficit results when self care agency is not adequate to meet the self-care demand. Moreover‚ it explains when people neednursingcare and how people can be assisted...
• We investigate the complexity of SAT(⋅) with partial clone theory. • We identify the computationally easiest NP-complete SAT(⋅) problem. • We study the time complexity of this problem and relate it to 1-in-3-SAT. • We relate the easiest SAT(⋅) problem to the exponen...
Parameterized complexity theory is a recent branch of computational complexity theory that provides a framework for a refined analysis of hard algorithmic problems. The central notion of the theory, fixed-parameter tractability, has led to the development of various new algorithmic techniques and a whol...
shortcoming, among others, has led to the emergence of complexity theory which focuses on the use of such terms as entropy, non-equilibrium, instability, and the emergence of new patterns and structures. In the complexity paradigm, systems are usually considered to be ...
sincecii=αii×Bi. In agreement with random matrix theory and previous studies11,14,19, the addition of intraspecific interactions was stabilizing, but had no effect on the correlation between complexity and stability (Methods section,Supplementary Fig. 6). Our results emphasize that further empirica...
Complexity science is at times described as weird and unique, but it has many cousins, such as systems theory, cybernetics, ecology, political science, and any other fields interested in systems composed of many parts interacting at multiple scales or through diverse mechanisms. The value of using...
(1996a)environmental complexity thesis,which inspired my own thesis, was an attempt within the modern framework of evolutionary theory to make tenable earlier ideas from John Dewey and Herbert Spencer about the continuity between life and mind: the mind seen as a natural consequence of the ...
(e.g.,theory of mind, cooperation, language), perhaps a greater focus should be placed on the sensorimotor and cognitive skills associated with human-specific ecological characteristics (e.g., the high-quality diets and costly processingbehaviorsthat comprise the hunter-gatherer ecological niche) [...
