Information Theory Models of Instabilities in Critical Systems
ISBN: 9789813147287 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The book is a unique exploration of a spectrum of unexpected analogs to psychopathologies likely to afflict real-time critical systems, written by a specialist in the epidemiology of mental disorders. The purpose of this book is to develop a set of information-theoretic statistical tools for analyzing the instabilities of real-time cognitive systems at those varying scales and levels of organization, with special focus on high level machine function.The book should be of particular interest to both industry and academic scientists, and government regulators, concerned with driverless cars on...

Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process
ISBN: 9781441928269 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process introduces a cutting-edge mathematical formalism based on the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory to describe how punctuated shifts in mesoscale ecosystems can entrain patterns of gene expression and organismal evolution. The authors apply the new formalism toward characterizing a number of infectious diseases that have evolved in response to the world as humans have made it. Many of the human pathogens that are emerging out from underneath epidemiological control are 'farmed' in the metaphorical...Farming Human Pathogens: Ecological Resilience and Evolutionary Process introduces a cutting-edge mathematical formalism based on the asy... |

Psychiatric Disorders of Automata: Models of animal cognition and the failure of hypercomplex real-time computing systems
ISBN: 9781467957090 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The relentless march toward massively parallel 'Self-X' machines that must program, protect, and repair themselves while managing critical phenomena raises questions of safety and stability. What are the failure modes of the new machines that will direct nuclear reactors, power grids, air traffic control and large-scale financial transactions? Is 'graceful degradation under stress' a realistic expectation? Study of animal cognition suggests that evolution has had only modest success stabilizing individual minds and formal analysis shows that both sudden and subtle failures in massively...

Deception and Delay in Organized Conflict: Essays on the Mathematical Theory of Maskirovka
ISBN: 9783030961763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book explores the role of deception, delay, and self-deception in the dynamics of organized conflict, taking a formal approach that hews closely to the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories. The resulting probability models can, with some effort—and some confidence—be converted to statistical tools for the analysis of real-time observational and ‘experimental’ data on institutionalized confrontation across both traditional and emerging ‘Clausewitz Landscapes’.

Stabilizing Self-dynamic Socioeconomies: Evolutionary and ecological perspectives on farming economic systems for human needs
ISBN: 9781467972383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The creation of economic institutions that can function under the impact of substantial 'non-quantifiable' risks is analogous to the dilemmas confronting our hunter-gatherer forefathers in the face of large-scale ecological uncertainties. The ultimate solution was not a super hunter-gatherer technology that could ride out repeated catastrophe, but the invention, in neolithic times, of culturally-adapted 'farmed' ecosystems constructed to maximize food yield and minimize risks of famine. This book applies evolutionary and ecosystem theory to the design of culturally-specific farmed economies,...

Collective Consciousness and Its Discontents: Institutional Distributed Cognition, Racial Policy, and Public Health in the United States
ISBN: 9780387767642 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. An earlier book by Rodrick Wallace entitled Consciousness: A Mathematical Treatment of the Global Neuronal Workspace Model, introduced a formal information-theoretic approach to individual consciousness implementing approaches developed previously by the cognitive scientist Bernard Baars and the philosopher Fred Dretske. This book takes a more formal 'groupoid' perspective and generalizes the results of that book to processes of 'distributed cognition' characteristic of large institutions that can entertain several, sometimes many, simultaneous 'global workspaces' which must compete...

Essays on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis: Formalizations and Expansions
ISBN: 9783031298783 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. From the ‘punctuated equilibrium' of Eldrege and Gould, through Lewontin's ‘triple helix' and the various visions and revisions of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) of Laland and others, both data and theory have demanded an opening-up of the 1950's Evolutionary Synthesis that so firmly wedded evolutionary theory to the mathematics of gene frequency analysis. It can, however, be argued that a single deep and comprehensive mathematical theory may simply not be possible for the almost infinite varieties of evolutionary process active at and across the full range of scales of...

An Ecosystem Approach to Economic Stabilization: Escaping the Neoliberal Wilderness

The creation of economic institutions that can function well under substantial uncertainties -- Black Swans -- is analogous to the dilemmas confronting our hunter-gatherer forefathers in the face of large-scale ecological unpredictability. The ultimate solution was not the development of a super hunter-gatherer technology that could ride out repeated catastrophe, but rather the invention, in neolithic times, of culturally-adapted 'farmed' ecosystems constructed to maximize food yield and minimize risks of famine.

Consciousness: A Mathematical Treatment of the Global Neuronal Workspace Model
ISBN: 9781489995629 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book is not an intellectual history or popular summary of recent work on consciousness in humans. Bernard Baars (1988), Edelman and Tononi (2000), and many others, have written such, and done it well indeed. This book, rather, brings the powerful analytic machinery of communication theory to bear on the Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) model of consciousness which Baars introduced, and does so in a formal mathematical manner. It is not the first such attempt. The philospher Fred Dretske (1981), indep- dent of Baars, long ago outlined how information theory might illuminate the...

Gene Expression and Its Discontents: The Social Production of Chronic Disease
ISBN: 9783319480770 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Gene Expression and its Discontents examines a class of probability models describing how epigenetic context affects gene expression and organismal development, using the asymptotic limit theorems of information theory in a highly formal manner. Taking classic results on spontaneous symmetry breaking abducted from statistical physics in groupoid, rather than group, circumstances, the work suggests that epigenetic information sources act as analogs to a tunable catalyst, directing development into different characteristic pathways according to the structure of external signals. The... Gene Expression and its Discontents examines a class of probability models describing how epigenetic context affects gene expression and o... |

Mathematical Approach to Multilevel, Multiscale Health Interventions, A: Pharmaceutical Industry Decline and Policy Response
ISBN: 9781848169968 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book, based on published studies, takes a unique perspective on the 30-year collapse of pharmaceutical industry productivity in the search for small molecule “magic bullet” interventions. The relentless escalation of inflation-adjusted cost per approved medicine in the United States — from $200 million in 1950 to $1.2 billion in 2010 — has driven industry giants to, at best, slavish imitation in drug design, and at worst, abandonment of research and embracing of widespread fraud in consumer marketing.The book adapts formalism across a number of disciplines to...
