Cultural traits — the information, beliefs, behaviors, customs, and practices that shape the character of a population — are ...

Themes are institute-wide research topics that draw together large networks of researchers from the extended SFI network and beyond. Over the course of several years, researchers rigorously engage ...

This paper provides a logical framework for complexity economics. Complexity economics builds from the proposition that the economy is not necessarily in equilibrium: economic agents (firms, consumers ...

Through meetings, schools, community events, and media, we invite curiosity-driven individuals to share our discoveries and support complex systems science. For more than 35 years, a small team of ...

Cultural traits — the information, beliefs, behaviors, customs, and practices that shape the character of a population — are influenced by conformity, the tendency to align with others, or ...

We are building a theoretical framework that will guide the creation of artificial agents that adjust their neural networks (brains) to feedback from their bodies and surroundings -- in essence to ...

The rise of complexity theory, an interdisciplinary field studying the emergent behavior and patterns of the interactions of simple (and not so simple) components, has been one of the most important ...

We are living in an age obsessed with intelligent systems. All walks of life are being transformed by machine learning, by software platforms that amplify human ability to manipulate mathematics and ...

The SFI Undergraduate Complexity Research (UCR) program is a 10-week residential experience in complexity science research. Students can select from a menu of projects, or develop a project in ...

Swarm is a multi-agent software platform for the simulation of complex adaptive systems. In the Swarm system the basic unit of simulation is the “swarm,” a collection of agents executing a schedule of ...

Complex Systems Summer School (CSSS) offers an intensive four-week introduction to complex behavior in mathematical, physical, living, and social systems. CSSS brings together graduate students, ...

We propose a theory of asset pricing based on heterogeneous agents who continually adapt their expectations to the market that these expectations aggregatively create. And we explore the implications ...
