Fractal scaling relations are found in repeated measurements of voluntary human behavior (e.g., time estimation, visual search, word naming). These fractal scaling relations suggest that the variation in the observed behavior is scale-free with small-scale and large-scale variations sharing the same structure. Researchers have proposed a conceptual control parameter that may account for reliabl...

Theorizations of sustainability transformation have foregrounded the construction (making) novel socioecological relations; however, they generally obscured processes deliberate deconstruction (unmaking) existing, unsustainable ones. Amidst ever more compelling evidence simultaneous unsustainability and continued reproduction capitalist modernity, it is misguided to assume that can happen by me...

A baseball player attempts to contact a ball with a bat so as to propel the latter as far as possible; a rower tries to impart the maximum possible force to the water through an oar, while at the same time avoiding any disturbance to the boat’s forward motion. The cost functions involved are complex, implicit, nonunique, fuzzy, and often subjec...
