The Complexity of Complexity

Human Development, 1974
The study dealt with the following questions about the nature and effects of complexity in children: Are responses to stimuli exemplifying any of the complexity dimensions (heterogeneity of elements,

Complex signal processing is not-complex [PDF]

open access: possibleThe 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004. MWSCAS '04., 2004
Wireless systems often make use of the quadrature relationship between pairs of signals to effectively cancel out-of-band and interfering in-band signal components. The understanding of these systems is often simplified by considering both the signals and system transfer functions as "complex" quantities.

The ethics of complexity and the complexity of ethics

South African Journal of Philosophy, 2012
In this paper, we investigate the implications that a general view of complexity - i.e. the view that complex phenomena are irreducible - hold for our understanding of ethics. In this view, ethics should be conceived of as constitutive of knowledge and identity, rather than as a normative system that dictates right action.

The Complexity of Complexity

2016
Given a string, what is its complexity? We survey what is known about the computational complexity of this problem, and describe several open questions.

Evolutionary complexity of MADS complexes

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2007
Developmental programs rely on the timely and spatially correct expression of sets of interacting factors, many of which appear to be transcription factors. Examples of these can be found in the MADS-box gene family. This gene family has greatly expanded, particularly in plants, by a range of duplications that have enabled the genes to diversify in ...

Cancer and bone: A complex complex

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2014
Primary and secondary bone cancers are rare events. However, once settled, a complex process is started involving an extensive amount of factors and interactions. The bone micro-environment is a preferential site for (metastatic) tumor cells to enter, stay, colonize and expand.

It is complicated! – misunderstanding the complexities of ‘complex’

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 2016
AbstractTerminology matters ‐ as Lakoff emphasised, words and phrases evoke powerful images and frames of understanding. It is for that reason that we need to discern and use appropriately the term complex/complexity in the health science/professional/policy domain.

The Complexity of Complexity

2011
This is the core chapter of this book, about the complexity of complexity. After all of the rethinking in the preceding chapters, we think we are able to present a different notion and concept of complexity that can lead to a new way of thinking in complexity. We intend to develop a way of thinking in complexity that goes beyond the complexity as taken

On the complexity of communication complexity

Proceedings of the forty-first annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, 2009
We consider the following question: given a two-argument boolean function f, represented as an N x N binary matrix, how hard is it to determine the (deterministic) communication complexity of f?We address two aspects of this question. On the computational side, we prove that, under appropriate cryptographic assumptions (such as the intractability of ...

Complexity column

ACM SIGLOG News, 2014
The bird on my birdfeeder instantly processes any change to its visual input: should it flee or keep eating? In dynamic complexity, we ask what information we should maintain, so that, upon a small change to our input, we can quickly compute the new answer to a certain query. It had been a long-standing open question whether graph reachability could be
