Edge of Chaos Theory | Cellular Automata, Wolfram, & Psychology

This is great. Keep up the great work.

This was exactly what I was looking for without knowing exactly what question to ask. Wonderful video. You should look up viral evolution. Viruses are pushed to the edge of chaos because the more mutations they can make, the faster they adapt to immunity. But just a little more, and they fall off the adaptive cliff into an error catastrophy. One strategy for anti viral drugs is to increase mutation rate to push them off this cliff.

Excellent video -- kept my attention. Fascinating how you reveal the harmony between the science & philosophy aspects.

I believe this has to be one of the greatest informational videos that has been created.. we would have to live in a sane world to recognize the value of it of course..

I love this topic, and it goes together so well with Emergence. Also, Jordan Peterson is a genius and he hits the yin yang spot on.

Highly underrated channel!! Just found it and I’m binging many of your videos

My favorite kind of things! Brilliant analogies! Respect and thank you!

Your channel is a gem!

I can't tell you how much I appreciated this video! Over the past several years I've investigated and dabbled with various simulations, and I've been trying to put my finger on many of the concepts and quirks I observed. Though I've run across a fair amount of the information in the video before, I definitely hadn't seen it all, and I also hadn't seen things tied together so expertly. This was an amazing, and inspirational, watch, and thanks again for making it!

This video was awesome. It is way too advanced for me but I hope to understand in a few years. Keep it up!

WOW!!!! BRILLIANT!!! Inspiring, and sooo cool!!! I just found your channel and am glued to it, can already feel my brain re-wiring itself!!! MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS and keep up the stellar work!! ❤

Keep up brother, you're a very geniune man and producer , thank you

Great Video makes sense of my life NOW on the Edge. Wish I had that stronger foundation though, for the firmly planted foot💁🏼‍♀️oh well .. it makes more sense to me now at least. Thanks 💜

Thank you for the informative content. Is the goal here to find the marginal point of where a system turns? Is there a way mathematically to find where this point exists given a specific data set?

Great video!

"Ability to selectively communicate information with complex structures in space-time"

11:05 that was a good one liner if ever there was one

Great video!!!!!

The thesis you cited applies perfectly to consciousness. I.e., that self-conscious systems, in order to develop most effectively, should be in a permanent state of doubt, because then they enter a perfect state of creation. In practice, this would mean that a scientist maximizes his cognitive effort when he is constantly changing his perspective on the problem he is working on. Consciousness as a complex self-regulating system that utilizes feedback loops would solve any complex scientific issue in the blink of an eye, with the help of constantly balancing chaos and order, wouldn't it?

This is so cool, great channel, be sure to get Joscha Bach on sometime
