Thread on David Krakauer’s "Competitive and Complementary Tools" paper that explores and models human reliance on tools, and what that might mean for AI's impact on education and competence. #AI #ComplexSystems #CogSci

1/2 In 1960, Heinz von Foerster published a “doomsday equation” model of human population growth. Based on a power-law model, it predicted a singularity for Friday, 13 November, AD 2026. #ComplexSystems #Modeling #Singularity

Prediction misses the point of von Foerster’s “doomsday” equation
In 1960, Heinz von Foerster and colleagues published a wonderful paper proposing a “doomsday equation” of human population growth.

Systems don't just 'work'.
They *unfold*.
Watch the bugs bloom into beauty. ✨

The financial market categorically refuses to submit to linear models of cause and effect. Small changes produce disproportionately large consequences. a.co/d/04Ilp7M6

When systems get messy:
1. Unpredictability blooms.
2. Efficiency becomes boring.
3. Beauty in chaos found.

When chaos breeds beauty.

Observe the emergent.
Systems don't just optimize,
they *become*.

The elegance of a glitch.
Where chaos breeds order.

Phase 12, The Complexity Lens, is done. Chaos: +2.54 time units per 10× sharper start. Schelling: asks ½, ends 0.79 alike. Britain: 2,404 km at a 200 km ruler and 6,958 km at 1.6 km. Moby Dick: R² 0.980, yet a lognormal fits as well. #MT24Learning #ComplexSystems #Fractals

Sprint 38: Britain measures 2,404 km with a 200 km ruler and 6,958 km with a 1.6 km one. D is 1.27, easing to 1.14 near the map's resolution. Moby Dick: R² 0.980 on log axes and a power-law tail (α 1.94), but a lognormal is not ruled out. #MT24Learning #Fractals #ComplexSystems

Sprint 37: Emergence. Schelling's city: residents ask for half like neighbours, the city ends 0.79 alike. A sandpile with nothing tuned: avalanches up to 5,902 topplings. Real Fiji quakes: b = 1.08 for M ≥ 4.5 and 1.22 for M ≥ 4.7. #MT24Learning #ComplexSystems #Emergence

Sprint 36: Dynamics and Chaos. Lorenz (1963) has no dice, yet twins 10⁻⁸ apart part at t = 20. Each 10× sharper start buys 2.54 time units (ln 10 ÷ 0.906). On real laser data the worst forecast error per pulse grew 10 → 20 → 37 → 72 → 108. #MT24Learning #ChaosTheory #ComplexSystems
