MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

External and internal complexity of complex adaptive systems

Jürgen Jost

Abstract

We introduce concepts of external and internal complexity to analyze the relation between an adaptive system and its environment. We apply this theoretical framework to the construction of models in a cognitive system and the selection between hypotheses through selective observations performed on a data set in a recurrent process and propose a corresponding neural network architecture.
