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.

Special News

  • Congress is set to double the cost of student loans from 3.4% to 6.8% --while offering huge corporate banks the low rate of 0.75%. May 10, 2013. How's that for the fat cats?
  • "California is the 4th-largest oil-producing state, but it is the ONLY state that does NOT tax Big Oil. We could raise $2 billion per year to begin repairing the damage of previous cuts to public education, but only if Democrats in the Legislature use their new super-majority power to pass it. Sarah Palin signed Alaska's oil severance tax of 25%! Texas charges 7.5%.(1) Why doesn't California make Big Oil pay for the privilege of profiting off our natural resources? State Senator Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) has proposed Senate Bill 241, which would tax oil extraction at a modest 9.9%. Public higher education would receive 93% of revenues, and 7% would go to the Department of Parks and Recreation." Courage Campaign May 4 2012.
  • "The law limiting overall contributions was enacted in 1974 and expanded in 2002 to prevent donors from writing million-dollar checks to candidates, which the Supreme Court has ruled could contribute to the corruption or at least the appearance of corruption of public officials." Breaking that law with oversight by the FEC, "The Huffington Post identified 49 individuals who donated more than $150,000 in the last election cycle, far in excess of the biennial contribution limits. Of the 49 donors, 48 exceeded the PAC and party limit and 32 exceeded the candidate limit." Huffpost May 3 2013.

RSN Dec 12 2012: Lawrence Tribe: "It badly distorts the meaning of everything I have written on the subject to treat me as remotely hostile to the comprehensive national regulation of firearms and ammunition possession, transfer, and use; and it even distorts my meaning to regard my views as similar to those that the Roberts Court has expressed on the subject, although I hasten to add that even this Court's unfortunate views leave very substantial room for close regulation and even prohibition of entire categories of dangerous firearms and the ammunition that makes them lethal. The fact that many of my fellow gun control proponents were disappointed by the nuanced character of what I wrote in 2000 shouldn't be allowed to distract from my continuing conclusion that the Constitution permits, and that sane public policy demands, vastly stricter firearms regulation than exists in the United States today.""
These congressmen have received between $7,400 and $9,900 to "represent" the NRA: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Mike Coffman (R-Co), Rick Berg (R-ND), Jim Renacci (R-OH), Steve Fincher (R-TN), and more.

Help:Navigation (see Help Tells how to log in, create your bio, describe your research, design pages for your discussion groups and courses, comment and post, etc. Use discretion: what you write on the wiki is public and explicitly GFDL licensed for redistribution with citation. Write publicly with forethought. Redistribution of indiscretion will happen when you don't want it. You can also write iteratively, in steps, and revise indefinitely, but drafts are saved in the history tab and are thus accessible. Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page

Please use Image copyright tags for all images that you upload. InterSci Wiki licenses free access to its content in the same sense as free software is licensed freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). and can be used by anybody subject to certain restrictions, most of which serve to ensure that freedom. Content can be copied, modified, and redistributed so long as the new version grants the same freedoms to others and acknowledges the authors or pages used (a direct link back to the page satisfies this credit requirement). InterSci content therefore remains free in perpetuity under this copyleft principle.

Usage

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDisableCounters
$wgDisableCounters determines whether or not to update the number of times a page has been viewed. If $wgDisableCounters is set to false, each page will have a counter in its footer saying: "This page has been accessed X times"

Log-ins available from the syops

  • From 1997-2011 logins were available to anyone, but by March 2011 systematic hackers were sufficiently common that, without all the editor and bot resources of Wikipedia, requests for new logins should go to the mediawiki sysops, drwhite@uci.edu. Your full or abbreviated name will be your login and you will be sent a password that you can change. Login will allow you to add and edit pages.
