Complexity Synchronization
Korosh Mahmoodi, Scott E. Kerick, Paolo Grigolini +2
The observational ubiquity of inverse power law spectra (IPL) in complex phenomena entails theory for dynamic fractal phenomena capturing their fractal dimension, dynamics, and sta…
From Social to Epidemic Criticality and Back
Paolo Grigolini, David Lambert, Korosh Mahmoodi +1
We study the spread of a simulated epidemic in a network of individuals who may either contract a disease through sexual contact with an infected nearest neighbor or use safe sex p…
Selfish Algorithm and Emergence of Collective Intelligence
Korosh Mahmoodi, Bruce J. West, Cleotilde Gonzalez
We propose a model for demonstrating spontaneous emergence of collective intelligent behavior from selfish individual agents. Agents' behavior is modeled using our proposed selfish…
Complexity Matching and Requisite Variety
Korosh Mahmoodi, Bruce J. West, Paolo Grigolini
Complexity matching characterizes the role of information in interactions between systems and can be traced back to the 1957 Introduction to Cybernetics by Ross Ashby. We argue tha…
On the Dynamical Foundation of Multifractality
Korosh Mahmoodi, Bruce J. West, Paolo Grigolini
The crucial aspect of this demonstration is the discovery of renewal events, hidden in the computed dynamics of a multifractal metronome, which enables the replacement of the pheno…
