Replicators—The Pandoran Children of Emergence

Emergence is Beautiful

What does living in an entropic universe mean for beauty... or meaning itself? | Original post and links: https://nonzerosum.games/emergenceisbeautiful.html

Replicators—The Pandoran Children of Emergence

This episode explores Susan Blackmore's concept of Temes and the importance of replicators when understanding emergence. | Original post and links: https://nonzerosum.games/replicators.html

On the Shoulders of Substrates

In the 5th part in our Emergence series, we look at a key mechanism of emergence; substrates. | Visit the original post here: https://nonzerosum.games/substrates.html

Emergent Gravity

This is one where you'll want to visit the page (https://nonzerosum.games/graviton.html) because it has an interactive gravity simulation that is central to the piece. This is a (speculative) proof of concept that went a bit further than initially expected, and likely a strong candidate for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Emergence vs Entropy—a Universal Paradox

How does emergence happen in a world determined by the second law of thermodynamics? It turns out that the universal trend towards entropy allows for pockets of emergence... as long as it increases entropy in the end! | For the original post visit: https://nonzerosum.games/emergencevsentropy.html
