static models vs dynamic models_need for considering complexity

STATIC

dynamic

CLOSED

• pen

traditional

understandings of human behaviour self organizing systems in nature networking systems individual responding to logic of mass

rules CONTROL PREPROGRAMMING CENTRALIZATION AUTONOMY EMERGENCE distributed functioning

complexity theory

simple complexity

borne of clear principles

• r logic

swarm legacies - evds 697.72 - josh m. taron - winter 2012 meghan froehlich + erin faulkner de gordillo swarm tectonics: a manifesto for an emergent architecture - Neal Leach - 2002

self organizing systems_self organize and arrange entities in a sort of system

computer software_ vectorial forces

• perates within network_ not in isolation

ant behaviour

ACTIN GEODESIC DOMES IN LIVING CELLS FORMATION OF POLYMER NANOTUBES THROUGH LAYER- BY-LAYER ASSEMBLY OF CATIONIC DENDRIMERS INTO NANOPOROUS ALUMINA TENPLATES

COMPLEX COLLECTIVE BEHAVIOUR MAY EMERGE FROM INTERACTIONS AMONG INDIVIDUALS THAT EXHIBIT SIMPLE BEHAVIOUR THE EMERGENCE OF MICROSCOPIC PATTERNS OUT OF PROCESSES AND INTERACTIONS DEFINED AT THE MICROSCOPIC LEVEL

SWARM INTELLIGENCE_

EMERGENT COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE OF GROUPS OF SIMPLE AGENTS diagram illustrating the difference between metric distance and topological difference in reference to a school of fish

• any population, no matter how varied its nature- certain common patterns of operation can be seen to emerge
• given population of interacting entities will tend to display similar collective behaviour
• society of increasing complexity + information overload = need to offer an alternative way of designing “intelligent systems”

THE COLLECTIVE BRAIN SWARM INTELLIGENCE IN THE MARKET ECONOMY

‘stigmergy’_direct or indirect interaction between agents

HUMAN BRAIN + SYNAPSE STIGMERGY: HEART OF ALL SELF ORGANIZATION EARTHQUAKE SWARM

MONARCH MIGRATION

emergence

• PREMISED ON DYNAMIC ADAPTATION_PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOUR NOT FROZEN INTO SINGLE EXPRESSION
• DYNAMIC, SELF REGULATING, ADAPTIVE CAPACITY, NOT TRADITIONAL PREDETERMINED MECHANISMS OF CONTROL
• CONSTANTLY MUTATE
• BASED ON INTERACTION, INFORMATIONAL FEEDBACK LOOPS, PATTERN RECOGNITION AND INDIRECT CONTROL

TOP-DOWN EMERGENCE: BOTTOM-UP PRINCIPLE, NO OVER ARCHING

• PRINCIPLES. DEVELOPS

COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS THAT SELF-REGULATE = HIGHER LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION BOTTOM-UP SUBTRACTIVE EMERGENT FORMS ADDITIVE EMERGENT FORMS

emergent cities

swarm legacies - evds 697.72 - josh m. taron - winter 2012 meghan froehlich + erin faulkner de gordillo swarm tectonics: a manifesto for an emergent architecture - Neal Leach - 2002

• CITIES AS AMALGAMATIONS OF ‘PROCESS’
• ADJUST TO DIFFERING INPUTS AND IMPULSES
• CITY AS PATTERN IN TIME_PHYSICAL TRACES OF SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR OPERATING THROUGH TIME
• QUESTIONS NEED FOR MASTER PLAN
• rganic growth of city

FOCUS ON PROCESS RATHER THAN REPRESENTATION, FORMATION RATHER THAN FORM swarm legacies - evds 697.72 - josh m. taron - winter 2012 meghan froehlich + erin faulkner de gordillo swarm tectonics: a manifesto for an emergent architecture - Neal Leach - 2002
