I started studying architecture, but after two weeks, I realised I didn’t want to study buildings. I wanted to study something living, so I switched to an animal science program. I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees.

Dr Min Xu, a statistician specialising in network analysis at Rutgers University, has developed a probabilistic model that can determine how a network has grown, which not only has applications in epidemiology, but is also useful in social science, genetics and counter-terrorism efforts. What is a network? “A

Perhaps even the architecture of the network can change. Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains. We know the ones that correspond to “known science”. But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”. But the whole neural net setup inevitably defines an ultimate underlying model.

The results (which ultimately rely on all sorts of specific engineering) are remarkably “human like”. Most of our existing intuition about “machinery” and “automation” comes from a kind of “clockwork” view of engineering—in which we specifically build systems component by component to achieve objectives we want.

His father ’s university engineering studies had been cut short by the Russian Revolution, and he now had a one-man wholesale electronic parts business. And the person he saw there was their “vice president of engineering psychology”—a certain J. He’s not doing “science” and “empirically seeing what cellular automata do”.
