Document Summary
Lecture 25: life as a complex system: explain the different colours of reaction in the microarray of fig 15. 20. Normal/control cell use nucleotides with green fluorescent. Cancer/experimental cell use nucleotides with red fluorescent. Game theory success of one person depends on the choices of another person. Complex systems outcome is more elaborate than the sum of its parts: direct causal. Interaction of subgroup of agents can cause observable pattern. Interaction of some agents might have central controlling effects on the pattern. Direct correspondence between interaction and the pattern: interaction = pattern. Some interaction are intentional to achieve a global goal (pattern) Interaction among entire collection of agents causes pattern. Interaction among agents give rise to decentralized or distributed control. Interactions among agents and overall pattern are not necessarily aligned. Agents interact to achieve local goals only: global pattern emerges from undirected local interactions. Patterns arise from net effect of all particular sequential events.
