Innovation and Metastability: a Systems Model

Innovation and Metastability: a Systems Model

The culture trap is the tendency to put cultural markers and habits above the demands of reason or compassion. It can reduce receptivity to new ideas and trigger Phoenix Cycles of catastrophe and renaissance. System research is then complicated by the historiographic problem of continuity and change, because there are no objective criteria for deciding whether "the system" survived or was destr...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...

Revisiting the Relationship Between Systems of Innovation and Health Systems: A Response to Recent Commentaries

Metastability in Markovian Systems

To motivate our discussion we will consider two examples that demonstrate metastability. The first, shown in Figure 1, shows a discrete energy landscape. Transitions between states occur at a rate e−(∆Gf−∆Gi)/2.1 This gives a continuous-time Markov process that, after discretization, becomes a finite-state Markov chain. Figure 1 shows a time series, which demonstrates the typical features of me...

Automated Model Reduction for Complex Systems Exhibiting Metastability

We present a novel method for the identification of the most important metastable states of a system with complicated dynamical behavior from time series information. The novel approach represents the effective dynamics of the full system by a Markov jump process between metastable states, and the dynamics within each of these metastable states by rather simple stochastic differential equations...
