Complexity, Post-Structuralism, and Consilience [PDF]

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems
Epistemological questions about knowledge of complex systems are not addressed as often as ontological questions about what complex systems are. As with many philosophical issues, one can identify two approaches to answering the former type of question ...

The Normative Turn: Back to Hobhouse?

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Supporters of a recently announced normative turn in sociology acknowledge that what they recommend is by no means entirely new. However, they have given little attention to an early precursor: the British sociologist Leonard Hobhouse. He focussed on the role of the normative in social life and insisted that sociology could, and must, play an ...

On the regulation and dysregulation of emotions in child psychopathology: commentary on Blader et al. (2025)

open access: yesJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 595-598, April 2025.
Blader et al.'s (2025) recent annual review article makes an important contribution to the literature on emotion dysregulation in child and adolescent mental health. In addition to synthesizing the current evidence base, the authors put forth a cogent formalized view of emotion regulatory processes and how they go awry. Much has been written on emotion

Computational Modeling of Decision Making Enhances the Adversity Researcher's Toolbox

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past decades, there has been major progress in our understanding of how adversity influences cognitive abilities and strategies. However, most of this research is based on raw performance, such as response times and accuracy. These measures are informative about decision‐making outcomes but tell us little about cognitive processes. In

Cognitive consilience: Primate non-primary neuroanatomical circuits underlying cognition

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2011
Interactions between the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and basal ganglia form the basis ofcognitive information processing in the mammalian brain. Understanding the principles ofneuroanatomical organization in these structures is critical to understanding ...

Parameter‐Preserving Real‐time BIM Rendering via Direct GPU Ray Tracing

open access: yesComputer Animation and Virtual Worlds, Volume 37, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Parametric BIM geometry is preserved from Revit extraction to GPU ray tracing without mesh tessellation. A two‐tier cache reuses repeated geometry during export, and an instanced OptiX representation reduces memory at render time. The method lowers export time and GPU memory while preserving exact curved surfaces.

Evolution, the ‘Mechanism’ of Big History: The Grande Synthesis

open access: yesJournal of Big History, 2019
Big History traces the Cosmologic arc from the Singularity/Big Bang to the present. Similarly, evolutionary biology, as “all of biology”, represents the arc of life from its origins.

Single Cell Mechanics in Disease Progression

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Cells transmit distinct mechanical forces through ECM adhesion and cell–cell junctions and actomyosin‐generated traction forces are transmitted to the substrate through integrin‐based focal adhesions. Mechanical signals are further transmitted to the nucleus via the LINC complex, connecting the cytoskeleton to the nuclear lamina. These forces integrate

Complexity in the humanities and the humanities in complexity

open access: yesFrontiers in Social Psychology
In this paper, we discuss the relationship between agent-based modeling (ABM) and humanistic complexity, a relationship that is often overlooked in most ABM research as it is commonly practiced.
