Cellular automata models for complex matter

Invited talk by Marco Tomassini Cooperation and coordination are notoriously difficult goals to achieve. Using basic evolutionary game theory, it can be shown that cooperation is typically doomed, while coordination on inferior Pareto equilibria is commonplace. However, these results are based on mixing populations in which interactions may happen between any pair or group of agents. In this talk it will be shown that, if one takes into …

WEDNESDAY NYC * Busdriver (Cali) @ Santos Party House / 96 Lafayette St (NR/6/JZ to Canal St), 7p/$12. Regan Farquhar, the silver-tongued speed-rapper heretofore dubbed Busdriver, brings the heat on new LP "Beaus $ Eros", but I've had love for his mind-bending prose since "'Fear of a Black Tangent". AUSTIN * TUNE-YARDS (CT) @ Mohawk / 912 Red River, 7:30p/$20. Magnetizing, polyphonous looper and socks-rocker Merrill Garbus may have a duo …
Simulation with cellular automata

As Deutsch noted, a computer which sends part of its output back in time to be used as part of its input can solve eigenstate potentials much faster than what is believed to be possible without such loops. The unintended consequence of the CTC circuit was the emergence of silicon consciousness. The foundation lies within the parameters of a CTC computation——after renormalization, it is possible to force unitary evolution to completion …
Fractals models

Continuing our analysis in the same work of R’ Chaim Vital we find that he latter constructs a state of affairs wherein the seferiotic systems multiply in complexity ad infinitum. The following is a liberal translation with a number of commentary insertions for ease of reading: One cannot find in the top-down expression of lights [which may be likened to experiences (my insertion)] any sefirah [dimension or channel of Divine revelation] …
What is a cellular automata model?

Caused by an intensive (yet, sadly, fruitless) use of Wolfram|Alpha1 I recently came upon the strange phenomena duped NKS and its inventor2 and main proponent Stephen Wolfram. What a strange character. Here, see him in action: (Note: There is a new video of him out there on TED. I did not yet have the time to see it, but I assume its the same spiel again) His observations of cellular automata are quite nice (and brilliantly …
