The physics of complexity: Inside the search for new fundamental laws in complex systems science

I’m interested in learning how scientists develop new fundamental theories that address the deepest questions in complexity research: How do parts assemble into wholes? How does information flow through life and society? How does novelty emerge, from the gene pool to the marketplace of ideas? During my residency at the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna, I will immerse myself in the search for simple rules that capture complexity from cells to societies.
