Tom -
I listened to this and also to the same (roughly) lecture given at
Oxford... with a different set of questions, etc. Thanks for opening it
up here...
This ties in well with the (slim?) chance that AI facilitated modeling
might actually allow us (modern/tech humanity) to course correct up to
the horrific inertia in *all* the planetary boundaries being pushed....
the sociopolitics of it all suggest "probably not" but at least it seems
to be becoming a *more tractable" technical problem (with outrageous
changes in industry/infrastructure/first-world-lifestyles).
The earth-system (geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere,
biosphere+noosphere) is undeniably a CAS and it fascinates me that many
(including myself up until about 20 years ago) wanted to ignore the
nonlinearities at risk and try to imagine it as the linear system the
Old Testament promised the Patriarchs it would be for them (go forth and
multiply/prosper).
Geoff Wests work on Scale is a great complement to Doyne's work
here.... I am sure several (if not many) here have as good or better
handle on what SFI and the holonic systems they member with have a
better handle on this than I.
The JournoSphere as a CAS is also (yet) another coupled/holonic system
among systems and the current distortions (think
mainstream/right-wing/alternativeL/alternativeR/???) and oscillations is
critical (but not yet ready) to help find/develop/transmit coherence
into the inevitable phase transitions that we are already being sucked
into...
Our maunderings about consciousness (mostly/only? individual
organism/individual/LLM?) are part of this, but seem to neglect the
holonic aspects of various scales of collective-ism.
Mumble,

Friends:
If you're interested in macroeconomics, building dynamic models, and
complexity, I encourage you to spend an hour and a half watching
"Making Sense of Chaos: A Better Economics for a Better World," a
Santa Fe Institute lecture by my former neighbor Doyne Farmer. This
was delivered in Santa Fe a couple weeks ago.
