intro
evolution
socio technological evolution
walk in your room
flip a switch light is on, what happens, global massive machine, cables, powerplants, produce a little bit energy, energy traded, crosses borders, flows in your ligt bulb, social tech entity, how come, powerplant, it is like a living organism, encompassing system
how come this happens, 50.000 powerplants, turbines, violent, cables, borders, social entities, trade power, workers, laws, insurances, 300.000 mines
complex adaptive systems
many different entities
create a patern of behaving
2 properties
1 complex, inability of single perspective to describe to properties of a system to describe, multiple truths and values one physical planet
2 evolve thus interactable, no faster way to go to future, go thru the steps
meaning
sust world, nobody know, nobody could predict
represent the real world
grow future worlds
explore were worlds go
web30, agents, govern, people, does thing to other people they say, etc, semantic web, interact, patterns emerge
predictability
energy market
reduction of co2
taxes are predicatable
theory of evolution
grow a sust society
1 start bottom up, decentralized, connetions bloom into smething
2 have to learn to fail gracefuly, make mistakes all the time, but recover them, how to try without distroying, learn from errow, evolution is about trial and error, not trial and success
3 grow, evolving, adpating, learning
4 together, work to gether, creative commons, wiki, linux
evolving
knowledge structures, change, wiki structure, wiki.tudelft.nl, each page, diff facts, time evolves, knowledge evolves, relevant, grows, unrelevant outside, organic, structuring, disconnected, google, social technical proces
