The complexity wiki

PetersenGraph.jpg

An open community collaborative post-and-editing wiki on trans-disciplinary and especially networks and complexity sciences research that enriches each of the standard disciplines. Intended primarily for researchers, students, faculty and others engaged through individual and collaborative postings, courses, methods, shared and documented open-source software, tutorials, and tools for research and enhancing interdisciplinary advancement in the full range of overlapping human sciences, humanities, and natural and computer science, with interests in the complexity sciences, their teaching, and applications. For a USERid please contact drwhite@uci.edu to participate by login with your real name, which lets you edit and create new pages and to modify others using the "edit" tab. As you type into the "edit" text window the Firefox browser has automatic spell-check (OS X:control-Click). Current events lists our live and Streaming UC complexity Videoconferences and a speakers index for earlier talks, 2005-2008, listed along with those of other complexity centers.

Complexity and other news

George Soros May 2012 “You can’t cut your way out of a recession. You have to grow your way out of a recession.” Similarly: Bernake, and most economists. This is not just a liberal view, although Neocon economists dont like to say this. It is also evident in the European recession, not hard to see.
Obviously the Republicans WANT TO DEEPEN THE RECESSION TO GAIN POWER and transfer wealth to the corporations and the 1%.

  • Traynor Martin petition 22 States (mostly Republican) have the "self defense" law that allows "Shoot to kill" and when there are no witnesses you are not investigated by the police because they are afraid of lawsuits. Of course you get off free only if these are black kids because of the presumption of suspicion. Why not try to relegalize lynching, Republican "lawmakers"? These laws and others are pushed by the National Rifle Associating, a lobbying group for the weapons industry interested in making profits from selling guns.

So what does ail Europe? The truth is that the story is mostly monetary. By introducing a single currency without the institutions needed to make that currency work, Europe effectively reinvented the defects of the gold standard — defects that played a major role in causing and perpetuating the Great Depression.
More specifically, the creation of the euro fostered a false sense of security among private investors, unleashing huge, unsustainable flows of capital into nations all around Europe’s periphery. As a consequence of these inflows, costs and prices rose, manufacturing became uncompetitive, and nations that had roughly balanced trade in 1999 began running large trade deficits instead.

Averting a planetary climate meltdown and environmental endgame from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline

By Adam Liptak & Michael Shear, NYT, October 24, 2011 - G.O.P. presidential candidates are issuing attacks on the federal courts, stoking skepticism among conservatives about the judiciary.

  • "Perry Supporter Predicts Second Holocaust VIDEO Remember the big prayer rally in Texas that Rick Perry held with controversial Evangelical leaders right before he announced his candidacy? The man who convened and emceed much of that event, Kansas City-based pastor Mike Bickle, believes that Jews may soon face a Second Holocaust. And according to reporter Max Blumenthal, Bickle seems to think they probably have it coming." Antisemitism now from the extreme right?

Daily Beast: On Monday, Bachmann didn't talk a lot about her religion. She didn't have to—she knows how to signal it in ways that go right over secular heads. In criticizing Obama's Libya policy, for example, she said, "We are the head and not the tail." The phrase comes from Deuteronomy 28:13: "The Lord will make you the head and not the tail." As Rachel Tabachnick has reported, it's often used in theocratic circles to explain why Christians have an obligation to rule. “Michele Bachmann says certain things that sound crazy to the general public,” says Frank Schaeffer. “But to anybody raised in the environment of the evangelical right wing, what she says makes perfect sense.”
