Request for participation in survey related to decision-making – especially for those connected with small businesses

From Matt Lloyd on LinkedIn:

I’m hoping that my network can take 5 minutes (or less) to answer some simple questions relating to decision making. This is for my PhD research and it would be especially helpfully if people connected with small businesses could complete and/or share the link.

All support is really appreciated.

‘detailed balance’ – dynamic equilibria – Keenan Crane on Twitter

We often think of an “equilibrium” as something standing still, like a scale in perfect balance.But many equilibria are dynamic, like a flowing river which is never changing—yet never standing still.These dynamic equilibria are nicely described by so-called “detailed balance”

Voices | Alicia Juarrero | Intent and other Constraints – Dec 3, 2024, 5:00pm UK time, online

About

Alicia is an icon in the subject of complex systems, but her earlier work was rooted in the idea of cause and intent, and associated by many to Bateson’s idea of “conscious purpose’, or Snowden’s cautions against destinations, visions, and future states. Let’s explore how Alicia’s focus has evolved and how these adjacent and complementary ideas intersect

NECSI – The Election And Complexity Science: Insights for Collective Action – November 22, 2024 2:00PM EST – with Dr Yaneer Bar-Yam

Webinar
The results of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election will send shockwaves through political, social, and economic systems, impacting and exposing deep vulnerabilities in society and governance structures worldwide. What does Complexity Science reveal about the dynamics driving these outcomes, their causes, and broader implications?
Join Dr. Yaneer Bar-Yam, founder of the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI) and co-founder of the World Health Network (WHN), who will analyze the election through the lens of complexity science, offering critical insights into the systemic issues underlying today’s governance challenges. 
We will discuss:•Emergent behaviorsFeedback loops and tipping pointsThe structural inadequacy of traditional governanceNew models for governanceThe role of collective action and public engagementWhether you are an academic, policymaker, activist, or concerned citizen, you’ll discover how to tackle global challenges and how we can collectively build more adaptive and effective systems in the face of growing complexity.
