I\u2019m happy with the way things worked out yesterday, March 8th, at the UCLA Complexity Science Conference<\/em> with my paper: The Subprime Crisis: A Human Complex Systems Phenomenon<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Of course, trying to squeeze the whole crisis into an hour (1 \u00bc with John Bragin\u2019s express permission), it turned out I had much too much material. I don\u2019t think personally that slide shows have enough meat to show that they can get circulated without their author fleshing them up. This is why I\u2019m not communicating as of yet what I had to say but I\u2019ll be working in the coming days on a full-fledged text which will be posted here (watch this space!).<\/p>\n

Speaking at UCLA 3\/8\/2008<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks to the organizers: John Bragin and Dwight Read (UCLA) and Doug White (UCI – in absentia). Thanks to the other speakers. From J. Steven Lansing (University of Arizona), I learned that human genes need not be aggressively competitive but can diffuse harmoniously according to the \u201cneutral model.\u201d From Michalis Faloutsos (University of California Riverside) I learned that graph theory allows you to track down kids saving money on records by sharing them on the web. Finally I learned form William I. Newman (UCLA) that Lewis Fry Richardson (1881 \u2013 1953) was a pioneer in the study of fractals; I got also from William\u2019s presentation an encouraging confirmation that discrete dynamic systems <\/em>are the way to go when modeling human phenomena. Thanks to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
