ISBN10: 981256103X, ISBN13: 9789812561039, [publisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd, Singapore] Hardcover Hardcover. This book focuses on a prototype of creative causal processes termed BIOS and how the concept can be applied to the physical world, in medicine and in social science. This book presents methods for identifying creative features in empirical data; studies showing biotic patterns in physical, biological, and economic processes; mathematical models of bipolar (positive and negative) feedback that generate biotic patterns. These studies support the hypothesis that natural processes are creative (not determined) and causal (not random) and that bipolar feedback plays a major role in their evolution. Simple processes precede, coexist, constitute and surround the complex systems they generate (priority of the simple). In turn, complex processes feedback and transform simpler ones (supremacy of the complex). Introduces the concept of bipolar feedback, a mathematical and natural process that generates bios, a pattern beyond chaosDemonstrates biotic patterns in cosmological, physiological, meteorological, and economic processesIntroduces new methods for time series analysis, and includes programs for themProposes a research program based on the concept of creative development as an alternative to deterministic and random modelsAdvances a new theory of biological evolution Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, ...
