Statistical Mechanics Of Complex Ecological Aggregates, Ecol. Complexity
 









Excerpt: A fundamental limitation of classical science was its inability to
explain how order could emerge out of uncertainty and indeterminism. (...) The
balance between constraint and change gives rise to a hierarchy of aggregated
structures that exhibit regular, repeatable attributes to the degree that
constraints are able to maintain change across time within boundaries that
define the nature of the structure. This basic view of causality in complex
systems suggests an approach to defining a statistical mechanics for ecological
systems that can be used to generate new theoretical descriptions of biological
diversity. (...).
