Synergies All the Way Down
Examples of synergy cited by Peter Corning include multicellularity; sexual reproduction; emperor penguins huddling together for warmth.
The Connection Between Intelligence and Information
Information is everywhere in the sciences. Yet scientists often ignore the connection of intelligence to information.
Specified Complexity and a Tale of Ten Malibus
The validity of these estimates and the degree to which they can be refined can be disputed. But the underlying formalism of specified complexity is rock solid.
Specified Complexity as a Unified Information Measure
The most important take away here is that specified complexity makes Shannon information and Kolmogorov information commensurable.
Shannon and Kolmogorov Information
There’s a deep connection between probability and complexity. This connection is made clear in Shannon’s theory of information.
