Complexity

Complexity has become a popular buzzword, yet practical outcomes of research in complex systems remain limited. This book considers aggregates of redundant and diverse units which interact with the environment and with each other. Darwinian selection is imposed on these systems. Detailed analysis shows that mutual evaluation and selection among the untis of the aggregates is overall adaptive, yet it is necessarily stochastic in nature. As a result, individual instances of peer review may be non-adaptive or even maladaptive. The book offers practical advice on how to interpret and deal with maladaptive instances of peer review.
