Yet, despite these many and varied uses, researchers believe they remain a mostly untapped resource for humanity. Professor Ian Paulsen is the Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology, a research centre that spans nine universities across Australia.

Whether we view them as cute, forgetful, bad with technology or unproductive, these stereotypes are harmful to older people and ourselves. When society holds negative views of ageing, we are all affected, because we are all ageing,” says Dr Sherry Dahlke, a nurse researcher at the University of Alberta.

And so it was that in 1985 I began to promote the idea of a new field of “complex systems research”, or, for short “complexity”—fueled by the discoveries I’d made about things like cellular automata. And while they used computers as practical tools, they never made the jump to seeing computation as a core paradigm for thinking about science.

Dave Franchino and I had the opportunity to talk with Winnie Karanja, Founder and Executive Director of Maydm , a Madison-based organization which provides girls and youth of color in grades six to 12 skill- based training in the technology sector. As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences.

Ed was someone who wanted to independently figure things out for himself, and delighted in presenting his often somewhat-outlandish conclusions—whether about technology, science, business or the world—with dramatic showman-like panache. He always radiated a certain adventurous joy—together with supreme, almost-childlike confidence.

A lot of science—and technology—has been constructed specifically around computationally reducible phenomena. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. There is, however, a subtlety here. So might AI change that?

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. But after the book was published, Carnot appears to have returned to just privately doing research, living alone, and never publishing again in his lifetime.
