Preamble:

The next constitution is a repository, not a blueprint.

It is pluralist, local and adaptable.

It expects difference (fork), and supports it.

It keeps the errors small, and scales success.

📚 The @SFIPress’s latest project, “Foundational Papers in Complexity Science,” republishes 88 influential papers, providing contemporary insights into the field’s origins and evolution over the past century. From entropy to computation, these papers explore the fundamental pillars shaping our understanding of adaptive systems across biology, computation, and culture.

⚡ The first two volumes are out and available for purchase now, and the third and fourth volumes will be available this summer.

Just built this working LK-99 net fusion power generator. Raising 10M to bring it to production, 2.5M left in the round.

Personally, I could look at this "energy flow chart" of the UK in 2022 for hours.

So many stories being told...

@MitchBernstein The quantities are an improvement. The alignment of price to item title in original makes sense, having the eye move to the center for each item on right seems off.

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

@Silversalty @WigglePig @doctorow Wouldn't this broil you? Is this why they are 'hot' rods?

@WigglePig @doctorow Once saw a pic of an Allison aircraft engine put in a mini car.

An Alsetta, which was essentially a ’57-’59 BMW Isetta 600 with an Allison V-1710 just barely crammed inside.

What Is Complexity?

To celebrate @ComplexExplorer's ten-year anniversary, here's SFI President David Krakauer with a brand-new 30-minute lecture on this fundamental question. Learn what distinguishes complex systems and the approaches used to study them:

Forget-me-not fun fact: the yellow ring at the flower’s centre fades to white after pollination, signalling to insects there’s no more nectar. The insects therefore learn to visit the flowers that haven’t yet been pollinated, ensuring no forget-me-not flower is forgotten 🤙

BIOSPHERE 2 MEGATHREAD
Could humans maintain an ecosystem on the Moon or Mars?

In 1991, 8 researchers locked themselves inside this 3.14-acre sealed structure in the Arizona desert for 2 years to test just that. It remains the largest and longest experiment of its kind, ever.
