The emergence theory shows how a small number of rules can combine synergically to generate incredibly complex systems. A fertilized egg can program the development of a trillion-cell organism. This book contains wide-ranging implications for science, business, and the arts.

Emergence Zusammenfassung

Emergence: From Chaos to Order John H. Holland (Professor of Psychology and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Professor of Psychology and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)

'He's the man who taught computers how to have sex. And now, for an encore, he's working on a theory to explain the complexity of life and its myriad manifestations on planet earth.' New York Times In this book, one of today's most innovative thinkers, John H. Holland, explains the theory of emergenceDSa simple theory that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Emergence demonstrates that a small number of rules or laws can generate incredibly complex systems. From the checkers-playing computer that learnt to beat its creator again and again, to a fertilized egg that can program the development of a trillion-cell organism, to the ant colonies that build bridges over chasms and navigate leaf-boats on streams, this fascinating and groundbreaking book contains wide-ranging implications for science, business, and the arts. 'John Holland is an exceptionally imaginative person. Often surprising, and always engaging, he takes the reader on a journey from simplicity to complexity' Sir Robert May
