Description for Evolving Hierarchical Systems – Their Structure and Representation
hardcover. Seeks to represent the order in nature by discriminating a hierarchical system and defining the logical boundaries of the concepts inherent in this system (such as time, causality, complexity, partitioning, scale, and polarity). This book describes the principles of hierarchical structure. Num Pages: 343 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: JHMP; PSX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 278 x 153 x 24.

A bold effort to find a functional and transactional framework for synthetic evolutionary theory, "Evolving Hierarchical Systems" seeks to represent the order in nature by discriminating a hierarchical system and defining the logical boundaries of the concepts inherent in this system (such as time, causality, complexity, partitioning, scale, and polarity). Salthe's basic assumption is that the world is unlimitedly complex. Biology and some other sciences, such as geology and applied physics, have become entangled in this complexity with, the author writes, 'as little ability to negotiate it as a fly in a spider's web'. He argues that biological nature in ... Read more
