Poor old Darwin didn't have any integral evolutionary mathematics of
random boolean networks, so he innocently called it natural variation
and natural selection of the fittest. It didn't appear amazing to him
that the fittest survived, any other outcome would have been
surprising.

When you have a chance post a note on the utter simplicity of
evolution and the universe. Some very good minds have wrestled with
those questions for centuries.
The `second law' (thermodynamics?) actually just says the most likely
outcome from a probability point of view is more likely.
Reverting to `evolution', any increasing variability and interaction
is due to a growing number of organisms in a population. And they
don't `self-organize, they survive or die. The `fourth law' of
thermodynamics is one you better consider a little more logically.

And don't neglect Darwin, Malthus, et al.

MIT is putting out this stuff - seriously?

I predict once you really understand it you will call it a crock.
Incidentally work on chaos has been underway on west coast for several
decades.

Chuckle.. Is this the selling point. Just another con.
