Chemistry, complexity, and Meaning
Scale dependencies are the rule for complex systems, and most systems turn out to be complex.
Scale dependencies are the rule for complex systems, and most systems turn out to be complex.
This is true of mineral precipitates in microfluidic channels, networks of publication authors, and organic content of meteorites. My research in these three areas and other side projects has unexpectedly brought me closer to what is sometimes referred to as Complexity Science.
I'm interested in trying to understand how simple things can have behaviors that are unpredictable. Primarily, this is with regards to chemical systems, but is also echoed in the origins of meaning we derive from the science we read and the presentations we attend.
