A Theory for Complex Systems Social Change: An Application of a General ‘Criticality’ Model [PDF]

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems, 2015
Within the developed nations deterioration in the basis of society, as dramatically demonstrated by the Lehman collapse, has reached extreme levels, and currently the formation of pro-change agents is approaching a decisive stage. Here, we will construct

A method to identify the weakest link in urban drainage systems

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2023
Urban drainage systems are composed of subsystems. The ratio of the storage and discharge capacities of the subsystems determines the performance. The performance of the urban water system may deteriorate as a result of the change in the ratio of storage

A review of methods and data to determine raw material criticality

open access: yesResources, Conservation and Recycling, 2019
The assessment of the criticality of raw materials allows the identification of the likelihood of a supply disruption of a material and the vulnerability of a system (e.g. a national economy, technology, or company) to this disruption.

Control of criticality and computation in spiking neuromorphic networks with plasticity [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The critical state is assumed to be optimal for any computation in recurrent neural networks, because criticality maximizes a number of abstract computational properties.
