But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field. And it’s one that can “mine” the specific modeling achievements of work on complexity and bring them to a broader and more foundational level. Yes, it might have to take on the methodology of its “host” area.

As a high school student, Winnie had a passion for both math and the social sciences. Her teachers pushed her into the “easier” path of social sciences rather than encourage her interest in STEM subjects. And throughout my sort of high school experience, I’d been, you know, passionate about social sciences.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. But, first and foremost, the story of the Second Law is the story of a great intellectual achievement of the mid-19th century. Coarse-grained variables. But the paper is ending.

Here’s how the “loss” evolves (over the course of 100 generations) for a collection of paths: And what we see is that there’s only one “winner” here that achieves zero loss; on all the other paths, evolution “gets stuck”. But what happens with other paths? As we mentioned above, though, with more “dimensions” one’s less likely to get stuck.

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. He ended up spending time working various jobs to support himself, didn’t do much homework, and by his sophomore year—before having to pick a major—dropped out.

Food insecurity is a longstanding global problem that is tied to political, economic and social inequalities and inequities. The liberal arts consist of the natural sciences, like biology, ecology and neuroscience, formal sciences, like physics and maths, social sciences, and the humanities.
