New preprint: "Life Finds A Way: Emergence of Cooperative Structures in Adaptive Threshold Networks" with Sean Maley and Stuart Kauffman

Life Finds A Way: Emergence of Cooperative Structures in Adaptive Threshold Networks

There has been a long debate on how new levels of organization have evolved. It might seem unlikely, as cooperation must prevail over competition. One well-studied example is the emergence of autocata...

Information and the Emergence of Complexity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3lVFUZIOusThe eighth Dialogue was carried out by Sara Imari Walker and Carlos Gershenson. They explored the role of information in the emergence of complexity and the mechanisms underlying organization in natural and artificial systems. The title was: Information and the Emergence of Complexity. The session took place on November 19th, 2025. It was moderated by IAIS Board member Gordana Dodig-Crnkovic.

Shows why you cannot deal with variety using uniformity; why you cannot control heterogeneity with homogeneity.

Hoy recién pude escuchar esta charla de @cgershen.bsky.social que tuvo lugar hace casi un mes. Con mi background arqueológico pensé que no iba a poder entenderla y no solo se entiende sino que está cargada de contenidos filosófico-sociales. Super interesante, la recomiendo

We compiled a database of 1,300 thermal response curves (1,125 species, from viruses to mammals).
Our results reveal universal scaling relationships in thermal performance, which could be useful for predicting changes in performance under scenarios of climate warming.

Scaling laws in biological thermal performances

Understanding the extent to which genetic correlations change in response to environmental factors, such as temperature, is a poorly explored question, despite the importance of understanding how diff...

We suffer for what now shifts
But we are dividing time.
We can admire what stays
The potential of our mind.

In vain we attempt to grasp
Any happiness we find.
Let's enjoy every moment!
So, we will because we can.

Carlos Gershenson @cgershen.bsky.social · 20d

We want our pleasures to last
While ephemeral are stars.
Before we finish a breath
This and every world have changed.

We recall the fading past
We crave for the bright future
While the present seeps nonstop
between our shivering words.
