Foundations of correlation-based complexity… Gibbs/Jaynes/Tribus’ Energy and Information: Availability = Free Energy plus Correlations Chaisson’s Cosmic Evolution: Atoms, Galaxies, Stars, Planets, GeoCycles, Microbes, and Metazoans, all convert free energy to correlations. Odum brothers, Watson/Crick, Lorenz: Complementary role for Steady-State Excitations and Replicable Molecular Codes; Metazoan Skins Gene Pools as community subsystem boundaries. Shannon, McLuhan, Dawkins: Evolution of Memetic Codes and Electronic Media; emerging Meme Pool boundary structures. Margulis and others: Symbiosis and multiscale regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Boyd Richerson, Diamond: Multiscale guidance of meme expression in metazoan communities = Crucial to Sustainability? Gibbs/Jaynes/Tribus’ Energy and Information: Generalized thermodynamic availability includes free energies, correlations between subsystems, as well as correlations between system and knower i.e. awareness of complexity. the excitation-code correlation is an old story If you “know” the state of a binary system (e.g. the x-component of a half-integral spin), then you and that binary system share one bit of mutual information. The isolated subsystem second law concerns t
