How do trillions of neurons produce something as extraordinarily complex as consciousness? In this remarkably clear and companionable book, leading complex systems scientist Melanie Mitchell provides an intimate tour of the sciences of complexity, a broad set of efforts that seek to explain how large-scale complex, organized, and adaptive behavior can emerge from simple interactions among myriad individuals. Based on her work at the Santa Fe Institute and drawing on its interdisciplinary strategies, Mitchell brings clarity to the workings of complexity across a broad range of biological, technological, and social phenomena, seeking out the general principles or laws that apply to all of them. Richly illustrated, Complexity: A Guided Tour-winner of the 2010 Phi Beta Kappa Book Award in Science-offers a wide-ranging overview of the ideas underlying complex systems science, the current research at the forefront of this field, and the prospects for its contribution to solving some of the most important scientific questions of our time.

1.根据热力学第二定律 孤立系统的熵永不自动减少,熵在可逆过程中不变,在不可逆过程中增加。 2.世界只能从有序到无序。 生命来源于有序的太阳能量。 3.生命的不断创造把局部无序变为有序, 让整体更无序 。例 空调运行热量运行。 4.人类的意义在于为了更快...
評分《复杂》我已经读完快两周了,前几天终于敲打完了读书笔记,笔记共计13048字,链接见文末。 书籍的英文原名为《Complexity: A Guided Tour》,作者 Melanie Mitchell 这本书的庞杂程度,直让我想起去年读的《万物创世》,我不知道怎样横向比较这两本书的信息量,就像书里提到...
評分虽然副标题写着“读完《复杂》”,但其实这本书中很多和生物、遗传、免疫等我不太感兴趣的内容我都是胡乱看过去的。 复杂性科学很是庞杂,回想刚刚读完的这本书,我觉得作者真得写了很多东西,我都不能用简短且概括的几句话把它转述出来。所以下面很长一部分是和书的内容有关的...

評分不同的学科对于同样的事物往往展现了不同的分析角度和思考深度。比如在经济学教科书中往往会有这样的例子,在一个人口众多的城市中,从来没有一个负责统筹调度食物的中央机构,但是市民的餐饮问题还是自然而然地解决了,经济学把这一现象的原因解释为市场的力量,每一个自利的...
Conceptual overview
评分內容挺廣泛的,介紹瞭復雜性存在的各種領域,生物、計算機、網絡科學等等。有一點不滿意的地方是作者刻意追求科普性,書中很多能夠用簡單公式描述的地方都被描述性語言代替瞭。的確,這樣不會冒著用公式嚇退讀者的危險,但是作者也體會不到數學的簡潔性瞭。

评分Complexity is not well-defined. It's perspectives. It's waiting for someone who can look through these perspectives in a more profound way to integrate them into a new understanding of the world, just like Newton did with calculus.
