The soul of modern complexity science lies in understanding, training, and controlling the interactions among millions of elementary degrees of freedom to generate emergent dynamics; in other words, to shape the effective physical laws that govern the behavior we observe. This goal has so far been achieved primarily in computer simulations and in models that […]
