  • Hallucination and Panic in Autonomous Systems

    Paradigms and Applications

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book applies the powerful asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories to understanding the dynamics of dysfunction in cognitive cultural artifacts encompassing individual minds, small social groupings, institutions, machine systems, and their many critical composites. A particular focus is on attempts to build ‘intelligent machines’ that would supposedly rival or surpass ... Read more

  • Essays on the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis

    Formalizations and Expansions

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    From the ‘punctuated equilibrium' of Eldrege and Gould, through Lewontin's ‘triple helix' and the various visions and revisions of the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis (EES) of Laland and others, both data and theory have demanded an opening-up of the 1950's Evolutionary Synthesis that so firmly wedded evolutionary theory to the mathematics of gene frequency analysis. It can, however, be argued ... Read more

  • Consciousness, Cognition and Crosstalk: The Evolutionary Exaptation of Nonergodic Groupoid Symmetry-Breaking

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book makes application to the dynamics of arousal and distraction, and to other examples. A modified version of the Kadanoff picture of phase transitions in consciousness emerges from the Morse Function itself in a surprisingly standard manner, closely associated with the breaking of groupoid symmetries driven by fundamental equivalence class algebras.Although this is far indeed from the ...

  • Deception and Delay in Organized Conflict

    Essays on the Mathematical Theory of Maskirovka

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book explores the role of deception, delay, and self-deception in the dynamics of organized conflict, taking a formal approach that hews closely to the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories. The resulting probability models can, with some effort—and some confidence—be converted to statistical tools for the analysis of real-time observational and ‘experimental’ data on ... Read more

  • The Recurrence of COVID-19 in New York State and New York City

    Surfing the Second Wave

    by Deborah Wallace, Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    As a follow-up to COVID-19 in New York City: an Ecology of Race and Class Oppression, which showed that decades of discriminatory public policies shaped the Bronx into the epicenter of the first wave of COVID-19, this book examines the build up to the crest and subsequent ebbing of the second wave of COVID-19 across the 62 counties of New York State (NYS) and 152 ZIP Code areas of the four central ...

  • Essays on Strategy and Public Health

    The Systematic Reconfiguration of Power Relations

    Edited by Rodrick Wallace ...
    This book is a collection of essays that explore commonalities and contrasts between strategy in armed conflict and strategy in public health. The first part uses the asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories to study strategy as an exchange of messages between adversaries, in the context of underlying power relations. The ‘messages’ to be exchanged are constructed from an ... Read more

  • COVID-19 in New York City

    An Ecology of Race and Class Oppression

    by Deborah Wallace, Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    This book is the first social epidemiological study of COVID-19 spread in New York City (NYC), the primary epicenter of the United States. New York City spread COVID-19 throughout the United States. The context of epicenter formation determined the rapid, extreme rise of NYC case and mortality rates. Decades of public policies destructive of poor neighborhoods of color heavily determined the ... Read more

  • Mathematical Essays on Embodied Cognition

    Insights from Information and Control Theories

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Intelligent Technologies and Robotics (R0)
    This book provides a unique formal foundation for the development of statistical tools useful in the exploration of observational and experimental data related to embodied cognition. The asymptotic limit theorems of information and control theories can be used to construct statistical tools analogous to -- but different from -- regression models for the study of the often highly punctuated ...

  • Cognitive Dynamics on Clausewitz Landscapes

    The Control and Directed Evolution of Organized Conflict

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Political Science and International Studies (R0)
    This book applies cutting-edge methods from cognitive and evolutionary theories to develop models of conflict between hierarchically-structured cognitive entities under circumstances of imprecision, uncertainty and stress. Characterized as friction and the fog-of-war by the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, such conditions impair institutional cognition in real-time conflict and pose ... Read more

  • An Ecosystem Approach to Economic Stabilization

    Escaping the Neoliberal Wilderness

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Routledge Advances in Heterodox Economics
    The creation of economic institutions that can function well under substantial uncertainties -- Black Swans -- is analogous to the dilemmas confronting our hunter-gatherer forefathers in the face of large-scale ecological unpredictability. The ultimate solution was not the development of a super hunter-gatherer technology that could ride out repeated catastrophe, but rather the invention, in ... Read more

  • Computational Psychiatry

    A Systems Biology Approach to the Epigenetics of Mental Disorders

    by Rodrick Wallace ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This book explores mental disorders from a uniquely evolutionary perspective. Although there have been many attempts to mathematically model neural processes and, to some extent, their dysfunction, there is very little literature that models mental function within a sociocultural, socioeconomic, and environmental context.Addressing this gap in the extant literature, this book explores essential ...

  • Mathematical Approach To Multilevel, Multiscale Health Interventions, A: Pharmaceutical Industry Decline And Policy Response

    by Rodrick Wallace, Deborah Wallace ...
    This book, based on published studies, takes a unique perspective on the 30-year collapse of pharmaceutical industry productivity in the search for small molecule “magic bullet” interventions. The relentless escalation of inflation-adjusted cost per approved medicine in the United States — from $200 million in 1950 to $1.2 billion in 2010 — has driven industry giants to, at best, slavish imitation ...
