Optimisation’s Shadow is Cryptographic
Timestamped PDF for Download and citation This second article will be more of a focus on the underpinnings of the idea of natural cryptography. It follows on from my first article where I introduced the idea, The 2nd Invisible Hand. Learning from Nature and the incompleteness of economics . There I argued that natural systems may have evolved to regulate use of resources by selecting for higher adaptive gradients to reduce the probability of mutations that would result in po

The 2nd Invisible Hand. Learning from Nature & the incompleteness of economics
Timestamped PDF for Download and Citation I have spent some considerable time working on specifically how we can learn from cutting-edge biology to create a real, more complete science for how to better manage risk and develop our economic theory to actually face the challenges we have today. People have argued from a non-economics background that energy use ‘simply’ needs to be integrated properly into economic allocation decisions, but how to do this is left unsaid. Looking

A hypothesis on the difference between 'organism' and 'machine'
As a result of the research, described in my book "On the Origin of Risk", I am developing a new theory of organisms based on the distinctive way that they manage risk compared to typical human designed solutions. Central to this effort, I hypothesise a key difference between the concepts of 'mechanism' and 'organism' which can be defined scientifically, that is mathematically, by a certain concept of risk. Here is a simple thought experiment, which contains the essence of
