This book is dedicated to the first ten years of Chaos and Complexity Letters – International Journal of Dynamical Systems Research. This journal was born to collect and disseminate complexity science related information to anybody interested in the topic; to speed up the evolutionary development of complexity science; to extend its interactions crossing over disciplines, levels of knowledge and geography; and to foster finding new pathways in research and new applications. The structure of CCL was specifically designed to add value to the trans-disciplinary approach while, at the same time, differentiating the epistemology of different contributions. In this enterprise we were sustained and inspired by two great companions that in different ways shared our project during its prehistory: Ilya Prigogine and Francisco Varela. This book collects 16 papers that appeared in the first ten volumes of Chaos and Complexity Letters. They range from the life sciences to STEM and the economy in accordance with the interdisciplinary mission of the journal. A special highlight starts with “Acceleration and Entropy: A Macroscopic Analogue of the Twin Paradox,” possibly the last paper written by Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine with Gonzalo Ordonez. Important academic specialists who wrote in our scientific journal have passed away. For example, Walter Freeman, Tullio Minelli, Ilya Prigogine, and Joseph P. Zbilut. This special issue is also dedicated to them. We are of the opinion that their trajectories in life and research designed some contours of the shape of a new science to come.
Del 18 - STUDIES OF NONLINEAR PHENOMENA IN LIFE SCIENCE
How do emotions shape who we are? What drives the dance between order and disorder in human relationships? This groundbreaking work unveils the profound science behind human dynamics, where biology meets behavior and complexity creates meaning. Discover how:Drawing from cutting-edge research in molecular biology, neuroscience, and psychology, this book illuminates how our bodies, emotions, and relationships form an intricate living network. For clinical scientists, healthcare professionals, neuroscientists, biophysicists, social researchers, organizational leaders, and anyone intrigued by the science of human connection and change.
Del 6 - STUDIES OF NONLINEAR PHENOMENA IN LIFE SCIENCE
This book focuses on the successes and difficulties of nonlinear studies, particularly in the areas of Mind Sciences. It atttempts to answer the following questions: is an interdisciplinary contamination of complexity studies in different disciplines useful? Does this contamination originate in a transdisciplinary toolbox of methods and models which is worth calling it “Nonlinear Science”? What are the relations between the metaphoric approach and the mathematical approach in natural sciences and humanities? Complexity in the Life Sciences represents a fundamental workbench for these kinds of problems. The fascinating challenge in these areas is represented by studies on mind functioning.
