"Broad wealth distributions generated by the economic mechanism eventually trigger social unrest and the destruction of wealth, leading to an emerging pattern of boom and bust...The model emphasizes the role of broad (power law) ... for dynamical social phenomena." cc: Sergi Valverde🌍(under a blue sky)

Next July 14th, I will be at the I2SysBio talking about our recent work about punctuated evolution in culture, technology, biology, and more. i2sysbio.es

He also recognized coherent punctuated changes in Earth's history, the basis for the concept of "étages géologiques" (geological "stages") -- the basic chronostratigraphical units of the International Chronostratigraphic Chart cc: Niles Eldredge João Opie Sergi Valverde🌍(under a blue sky)

Again, Bretskyan hierarchy of the planet modulates the complexity of life. This time -- the case of languages. CC: Sergi Valverde🌍(under a blue sky) Niles Eldredge Opie João

#MammothMonday Mammoths, both woolly and columbian, and Asian elephants diverged from each other only 2.5 million years ago. In contrast, the human and chimp lineages diverged ~6.5 million years ago! 🦣🪾🐘 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… timetree.org enter human/chimpanzee

Andrej Spiridonov João Opie Sergi Valverde🌍(under a blue sky) D’Orbigny, student of Georges Cuvier, was a spectacular field naturalist and geologist who seems to have lived rent -free in Darwin’s head while on the Beagle and on at least until the mid 1840s

I would say - probably there is no cantrast between philosophy vs other domains of knowledge with respect to puctuations and gradualism in development. From what I know all domains of knowledge develop in puctuated manner just the diversification of philosophy is bottom-heavy 1/2

Niles Eldredge It was a simple idea, oversimplification of the reality of biological evolution yet one of the most powerful insight-generating approach was born there. Ideas also have their phylogenies which can vary greatly in their shape and timing of punctuations and this should be explored!

James Albert 🐟 🇺🇦 I think of “evolution” in any system as “the fate of transmissible information” often appending “in an economic context.” This definition embraces stasis 😊. Ideas and other cultural artefacts are transmitted through speech, writing etc etc etc.

Happy to announce 2 positions (1 PhD, 1 Postdoc) at I2SysBio Valencia, funded by European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Project CellWise. Our goal is to advance the predictability in synthetic biology for the engineering of cellular cognition More info cellwise.eu, please RT!

Vrba famously contrasted ecologically conservative impalas (Aepycerotini) with much more diverse widlbebeest & co (Alcelaphini) in their diversification dynamics link.springer.com/chapter/10.100… . Apparently the contrast between their diversification is even higher sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our new work: S. N. Dorogovtsev, P. L. Krapivsky, Deterministic simplicial complexes arxiv.org/abs/2507.07402 novel models, how the numbers of various simplexes grow, upper-degree distributions, Hodge Laplacian spectra, adjacency matrix spectra, etc.
