Notes on Complexity and Alignment
Complex adaptive systems are interesting things. Whether its a team of robots trying to play football, or a society of human beings trying to solve a complex problem, understanding how they work and why they don’t is important. I’ve spent a number of years researching how emergent, self-organising systems form, and align themselves successfully to achieve tasks. This is a slightly random high-level set of notes about of how I think about these systems.
