This paper outlines a pedagogically-oriented case study of the use of a 3D collaborative virtual environment (3D CVE) to break down barriers between partners from different cultural backgrounds whilst performing collaborative activities on a 3D ‘virtual stage’. The 3D collaborative laboratory (3DCollab) described in this paper served as a learning exchange platform to address the need for ICT s...

In a market with short term investors, when noise is persistent, a liquidity shock affecting the aggregate demand at a given period propagates to future periods’ aggregate demands. As a consequence, asset prices reflect investors’ higher order expectations about both the fundamentals and the noise stock, worsening the “rational confusion” problem investors face when extracting information from ...

Hierarchical modular composition is often cited as a requisite for scalable complexity. The most popular reference in this regard is Herbert Simon’s allegory of the watchmakers Tempus and Hora. And yet, while numerous studies have used this story as a jumping-off point to explain the emergence of hierarchical modular composition in evolutionary systems, relatively few emphasize the role of nois...

We examine a case in which non-computable behavior in a model is revealed by computer simulation. This is possible due to differing notions of computability for sets in a continuous space. The argument originally given for the validity of the simulation involves a simpler simulation of the simulation, still further simulations thereof, and a universality conjecture. There are difficulties with ...
