Flickering emergences: The question of locality in information-theoretic approaches to emergence
Thomas F. Varley
"Emergence", the phenomenon where a complex system displays properties, behaviours, or dynamics not trivially reducible to its constituent elements, is one of the defining properti…
Multivariate Information Theory Uncovers Synergistic Subsystems of the Human Cerebral Cortex
Thomas F. Varley, Maria Pope, Joshua Faskowitz +1
One of the most well-established tools for modeling the brain as a complex system is the functional connectivity network, which examines the correlations between pairs of interacti…
Disentangling high-order mechanisms and high-order behaviours in complex systems
Fernando E. Rosas, Pedro A. M. Mediano, Andrea I. Luppi +5
Battiston et al. (arXiv:2110.06023) provide a comprehensive overview of how investigations of complex systems should take into account interactions between more than two elements,…
Decomposing past and future: Integrated information decomposition based on shared probability mass exclusions
Thomas F. Varley
A core feature of complex systems is that the interactions between elements in the present causally constrain each-other as the system evolves through time. To fully model all of t…
