Autor: Mayfield, John E
Jahr: 2013
Contents
Preface xi
Introduction 1
1 Hie Problem 10
How is Earth different? 10
What is Information? 16
What is an evolutionary System? 22
What constitutes scientific understanding? 26
How does Computer science fit in? 31
How is purposeful complexity explained by science? 34
2 Computiition 39
What is a compu^tion? 39
What does it mean to manipulate inform^tion? 45
VI CONTENTS
How is information defined and measured
in Computer science? 49
Can great complexity be created by short
(i.e., simple) programs? 51
Can physical structure be computed? 58
Why have long programs? 66
3 Structure for Free 68
If physical processes compute, what and where
are the programs? 68
How do we explain a grain of sah? 72
How does a solar system form? 75
How do nonequilibrium structures form? 78
Must structures have permanent parts? 81
Is behavior a form of structure? 83
Can avalanches be simulated on a Computer? 86
Whence structure for free? 88
4 Purposeful Structure 91
What can you get by using Instructions that you
can t get for free? 91
Can you get a watch without a watchmaker? 97
How do Instructions encoded in DNA specify structures
more complicated than single proteins? 105
Can Instructions dictate activity? 109
What about ongoing activity? 110
So, exacdy how do we define purposeful structure? 115
5 Improbability and the Engine of Complexity 119
How do order and disorder relate to each other? 119
How do we reconcile great improbability with existence? 122
Where do instructions come from? 125
How do instructions change our view of
object probability? 130
Is life the outcome ofa computation? 137
CONTENTS VII
6 Algorithmic Evolution 145
Can Computers learn? 145
What are evolutionary algorithms? 150
Can the rules evolve? 161
How can we visualize what is happening during an
evolutionary computation? 164
Is randomness necessary for learning? 167
7 Evolution Within the Body 170
How does the human body form from a single cell? 170
How is the brain wired? 176
Why isn t the body destroyed by microorganisms? 181
What does copying add to selection? 189
8 Taking Control ofthe Cycle 192
Can the engine of complexity accept any form
of Information? 192
Can Variation be controlled? 195
Must selection be natural? 200
Is there any aspect ofthe cycle that cannot be controlled? 204
9 Complex Systems 207
What constitutes a complex System? 207
How is an electronic device also a network? 209
What is a biochemical network? 212
What is a genetic network, and what does it do? 216
What is a proteome? 221
What is life? 222
What is a complex adaptive system? 228
10 Human Learning and Creativity 230
How are we to understand the human mind? 230
Where is the Information? 231
VIII CONTENTS
How are decisions made? 234
Could our world, and therefore our thoughts,
be deterministic? 236
What are some general principles of brain function? 239
What is evolutionary epistemology? 241
What are some current theories? 244
How do we invent? 249
What is the evidence that the engine of complexity plays
a major role in brain function? 250
What can we say about the origin of human creativity? 255
11 Cultural Evolution 256
What is human culture? 256
How do cultures change? 257
How does science work? 261
Economies change, but do they evolve? 265
Do religions evolve? 270
How does the engine of complexity operate
in human society? 272
12 The Evolution of Complexity 275
Can complexity be defined? 275
How is complexity defined by biologists? 282
How do optimization and coevolution fit in? 292
Do resources matter? 296
How does depth figure in? 299
Is there evidence? 301
1 3 Past and Present 305
How do engines of complexity get started? 305
What does it mean to be in the middle of a computation? 323
CONTENTS IX
14 The Future 325
Where is it all going? 325
Are we about to participate in a new implementation
of the engine of complexity? 336
