On the evolution of Irreducible Complexity
This essay discusses criticisms of Michael Behe's contention that Irreducible Complexity is beyond the reach of molecular mechanisms.

Institutional complexity is complexity with an adjective [PDF]
A review of the studies on institutional complexity reveals that the many definitions of institutional complexity and related concepts share similarities with the understanding of complexity and complex systems of complexity science. Yet few publications

Governing Complexity in World Politics [PDF]
Complexity is the new global ontology for world politics. This article summarizes the characteristics of complexity and its implications for informed US state policy making.

We develop the ontology of “process complexity” and describe how the dynamics of “becoming” can be framed as the emerging, stabilising, and ultimate dissolving of “patterns of relationships.” By extending traditional complexity thinking through ...

Reducing the irreducible: Dispersed metal atoms facilitate reduction of irreducible oxides. [PDF]
Oxide reducibility is a central concept quantifying the role of the support in catalysis. While reducible oxides are often considered catalytically active, irreducible oxides are seen as inert supports.

Complexity and irreducibility of dynamics on networks of networks [PDF]
We study numerically the dynamics of a network of all-to-all-coupled, identical sub-networks consisting of diffusively coupled, non-identical FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators. For a large range of within- and between-network couplings, the network exhibits a variety of dynamical behaviors, previously described for single, uncoupled networks.

A Simple Model for the Evolution of Irreducible Complexity
Teaching “intelligent design” as an alternative to evolution in biology classes is popular but scientifically unjustifiable. The core argument of intelligent design is that some biological systems are too complex to have evolved.

Computational Irreducibility and the Predictability of Complex Physical Systems [PDF]
Using elementary cellular automata (CA) as an example, we show how to coarse-grain CA in all classes of Wolfram's classification. We find that computationally irreducible (CIR) physical processes can be predictable and even computationally reducible at a coarse-grained level of description. The resulting coarse-grained CA which we construct emulate the

Complexity in international society: theorising fragmentation and linkages in primary and secondary institutions [PDF]
This article seeks to contribute to theorising the institutional structure of international society by exploring synergies between complex systems thinking and the English School theory of International Relations (IR).
