  • Hallucination and Panic in Autonomous Systems

    Paradigms and Applications

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book applies the powerful asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories to understanding the dynamics of dysfunction in cognitive cultural artifacts encompassing individual minds, small social groupings, institutions, machine systems, and their many critical composites. A particular focus is on attempts to build ‘intelligent machines’ that would supposedly rival or surpass ... Read more

  • Mathematical Essays on Embodied Cognition

    Insights from Information and Control Theories

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book provides a unique formal foundation for the development of statistical tools useful in the exploration of observational and experimental data related to embodied cognition. The asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories can be used to construct statistical tools analogous to -- but different from -- regression models for the study of the often highly punctuated ...

  • An Ecosystem Approach to Economic Stabilization

    Escaping the Neoliberal Wilderness

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Routledge Advances in Heterodox Economics
    The creation of economic institutions that can function well under substantial uncertainties -- Black Swans -- is analogous to the dilemmas confronting our hunter-gatherer forefathers in the face of large-scale ecological unpredictability. The ultimate solution was not the development of a super hunter-gatherer technology that could ride out repeated catastrophe, but rather the invention, in ... Read more

  • Essays on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis

    Formalizations and Expansions

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    From the ‘punctuated equilibrium' of Eldrege and Gould, through Lewontin's ‘triple helix' and the various visions and revisions of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) of Laland and others, both data and theory have demanded an opening-up of the 1950's Evolutionary Synthesis that so firmly wedded evolutionary theory to the mathematics of gene frequency analysis. It can, however, be argued ... Read more

  • Carl von Clausewitz, the Fog-of-War, and the AI Revolution

    The Real World Is Not A Game Of Go

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    The language of business is the language of dreams, but the language of war is the language of nightmare made real. Yet business dreams of driverless cars on intelligent roads, and of other real-time critical systems under the control of algorithmic entities, have much of war about them. Such systems, including military institutions at the tactical, operational and strategic scales, act on rapidly ... Read more

  • Information Theory Models Of Instabilities In Critical Systems

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series Book 7 - World Scientific Series In Information Studies
    The book is a unique exploration of a spectrum of unexpected analogs to psychopathologies likely to afflict real-time critical systems, written by a specialist in the epidemiology of mental disorders. The purpose of this book is to develop a set of information-theoretic statistical tools for analyzing the instabilities of real-time cognitive systems at those varying scales and levels of ...

  • Deception and Delay in Organized Conflict

    Essays on the Mathematical Theory of Maskirovka

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book explores the role of deception, delay, and self-deception in the dynamics of organized conflict, taking a formal approach that hews closely to the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories. The resulting probability models can, with some effort—and some confidence—be converted to statistical tools for the analysis of real-time observational and ‘experimental’ data on ... Read more

  • Cognitive Dynamics on Clausewitz Landscapes

    The Control and Directed Evolution of Organized Conflict

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Political Science and International Studies (R0)
    This book applies cutting-edge methods from cognitive and evolutionary theories to develop models of conflict between hierarchically-structured cognitive entities under circumstances of imprecision, uncertainty and stress. Characterized as friction and the fog-of-war by the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, such conditions impair institutional cognition in real-time conflict and pose ... Read more

  • Information Approach To Mitochondrial Dysfunction, An: Extending Swerdlow's Hypothesis

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series Book 4 - World Scientific Series In Information Studies
    The monograph applies sophisticated topological symmetry tools to biological applications of information theory, along with a Black-Scholes model invocation of the Data Rate Theorem which links information and control theories. The focus is on statistical mechanics and other models that explore pathological phase transitions — driven by changes in available rates of mitochondrial free energy — in ... Read more

  • Computational Psychiatry

    A Systems Biology Approach to the Epigenetics of Mental Disorders

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book explores mental disorders from a uniquely evolutionary perspective. Although there have been many attempts to mathematically model neural processes and, to some extent, their dysfunction, there is very little literature that models mental function within a sociocultural, socioeconomic, and environmental context.Addressing this gap in the extant literature, this book explores essential ...

  • Consciousness, Cognition and Crosstalk: The Evolutionary Exaptation of Nonergodic Groupoid Symmetry-Breaking

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book makes application to the dynamics of arousal and distraction, and to other examples. A modified version of the Kadanoff picture of phase transitions in consciousness emerges from the Morse Function itself in a surprisingly standard manner, closely associated with the breaking of groupoid symmetries driven by fundamental equivalence class algebras.Although this is far indeed from the ...

  • Canonical Instabilities of Autonomous Vehicle Systems

    The Unsettling Reality Behind the Dreams of Greed

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    The asymptotic limit theorems of control and information theories make it possible to explore the dynamics of collapse likely to afflict large-scale systems of autonomous ground vehicles that communicate with each other and with an embedding intelligent roadway. Any vehicle/road system is inherently unstable in the control theory sense as a consequence of the basic irregularities of the traffic ... Read more
