Taming the Complexity of Evolutionary Dynamics: From Microscopic Models to Schema Theory and Beyond

by Christopher R. Stephens and Riccardo Poli

The study of complex adaptive systems is among the key modern tasks in science. Such systems show radically different behaviours at different scales and in different environments, and mathematical modelling of such emergent behaviour is very difficult, even at the conceptual level. We require a new methodology to study and understand complex, emergent macroscopic phenomena. Coarse graining, a technique that originated in statistical physics, involves...
