This monograph demonstrates the interplay between Shannon information and semantic information in cognition. It shows that Shannon's information acts as driving force for the formation of semantic information; and vice versa, namely, that semantic information participates in the formation of Shannonian information. The authors show that in cognition, Shannonian and semantic information are interrelated as two aspects of a cognitive process termed as information adaptation. In the latter the mind/brain adapts to the environment by the deflating and/or inflating of the information...

The last four decades have witnessed the emergence of CTC Complexity Theories of Cities a domain of research that applies the various complexity theories to the study of cities. Studies in this domain have demonstrated, firstly, that similarly to materialand organic complex systems cities too exhibit the properties of natural complex systems: they are open, complex, bottom-up, have fractal structure and are often chaotic. Secondly, that many of the mathematical formalisms and models developed to study material and organic complex systems apply also to cities. But there is a dilemma in...
