I trust Philip Ball as a science writer that distills well and doesn't add mushy fluff: https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/8/6/nwaa266/6009035 There's some debate on using the framework of Complexity as an appropriate lens for nanotechnology (I only where one pair of sunglasses) referencing Laughlins "A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down" https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/046503828X reviews: https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.2138425 http://www.softmachines.org/wordpress/?p=104 As an aside, we're working with wildfire folks in: Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services (AFFES) Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry Government of Ontario Your Dean at U of Ottawa may be interested in how we're applying complexity in his province. _______________________________________________________________________ stephen.gue...@simtable.com <stephen.gue...@simtable.com> CEO, Simtable http://www.simtable.com 1600 Lena St #D1, Santa Fe, NM 87505 office: (505)995-0206 mobile: (505)577-5828 twitter: @simtable z <http://zoom.com/j/5055775828>oom.simtable.com On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 11:29 AM Merle Lefkoff <merlelefk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Merle needs a bit of help.
