Mathematical laws of
living matter

While the mathematical laws that govern inanimate matter are in many ways well understood, the complexity that characterizes living and adapting systems presents a fundamental challenge for modern science.

Our objective

To understand how information and representation bridges our understanding of complex systems and to leverage the understanding to devise intervention protocols commensurate with the complexity of living, growing, evolving, and learning adaptive systems.

Multifarious perspective

A broad perspective is crucial to understand where and why mathematical regularities occur. We search for such signatures in natural systems and in human society including the brain, forests, judicial courts, and firms.

Bridging biology & society

We are inspired by the beautiful, the ominous, and always fascinating patterns swirling around in biological and social systems. In the Complex Collective, we are particularly interested in when the two collide: how does our understanding of biological nature help us understand social complexity and vice versa.
