The Santa Fe Institute: Gell-Mann, Kauffman, Holland, and the coffee room

The coffee break room

About this entry

This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.

Organization

What this is

Where Complex Adaptive Systems Theory was principally developed, and where Jonathan Hare spent his time in the coffee break room talking to whoever came in for a refill — either explaining Organic Technology and Business DNA, or asking how complex adaptive systems might be generalized to the general case.

That question is the one the whole architecture eventually answers.

The graph

Connected from here

There is no single root. This is one view of the graph, from this node — what you see depends on where you enter and what you are looking for.

Provenance

Where this came from

Everything above is a distillation. The primary source is published in full, so that any claim on this page can be walked back to what was actually said — and where the two differ, the source governs.

A stub, deliberately

This entry exists because the person or organization belongs in the record, not because there is much to say yet. It is published thin so that whoever knows more has somewhere to put it — which is how the rest of these pages got written.

What is missing, and how to fix it

This entry is deliberately incomplete. The gaps below are the things only certain people can settle — and settling one is a contribution like any other: recorded, timestamped and attributed to whoever made it.

If you were there

Correct anything wrong, add what only you know, or claim this entry as your own. Write to evidence@qpncatalyst.io and Jonathan directly (both are on the button) — a timestamped confirmation comes back with your submission attached, as your own independent record. No account, no permission, no institutional standing required.

Public contributions earn Publicity Premium; bringing others who were there earns Cascade Premium. Everything is valued retrospectively as outcomes verify, so nothing has to be priced up front.
