Mongo is everywhere I look (parte II)

Continuado daqui.

E por que é que existem espécies e não uma gama infinita de variedades em simultâneo em cada paisagem competitiva?
.
Eheheh a resposta está na Análise Matemática IV ou V das universidades... existem atractores que limitam as possibilidades!!!

"We have then been able to develop an evolutionary simulation model, in which a manufacturing firm attempts to incorporate successive new practices at some characteristic rate. There is an incredible range of possible structures that can emerge, however, depending simply on the order in which they are tried. But, each time a new practice is adopted within an organisation, it changes the “invadability” or “receptivity” of the organisation for any new innovations in the future. This is a true illustration of the “path dependent evolution” that characterises organizational change. Successful evolution is about the “discovery” or “creation” of highly synergetic structures of interacting practices.

The explorations/innovations that are tried out at a given time cannot be logically or rationally deduced because their overall effects cannot be known ahead of time. Therefore, the impossibility of prediction gives the system “choice.”

However, the actual success that a new practice meets with is predetermined by the “fitness landscape” resulting from the practices already present and what the emergent attributes and capabilities encounter in the marketplace.
.
But this landscape will be changed if a new practice does successfully invade the system. The new practice will bring with it its own set of pair interactions, modifying the selection criteria for further change. So, the pattern of what could then invade the system (if it were tried) has been changed by what has already invaded successfully. This is technically referred to as a “path dependent” process since the future evolutionary pathway is affected by that of the past.

It shows us that for a system of co-evolving agents with underlying microdiversity and idiosyncracy, we automatically obtain the emergence of structural attractors such as the organizational forms shown in Figure

What are the implications of these structural attractors?
.
Search carried out by the “exploratory” diffusion in character space leads to vastly increased performance of the final object. Instead of a homogeneous system, characterised by intense internal competition and low symbiosis, the development of the system leads to a much higher performance, and one that decreases internal competition and increases synergy. (Moi ici: Faz logo recordar Holland e os "complex adaptive systems":

There is no universal competitor or optimum
• There is great diversity, as in a tropical forest, with many niches occupied by different kinds of agents
• Innovation is a regular feature – equilibrium is rare and temporary
• Anticipations change the course of the system.
" Por isso, é que Mongo é diversidade, é variedade, é explosão contínua de diferenciação)
.
The whole process leads to the evolution of a complex, a “community” of agents whose activities, whatever they are, have effects that feed back positively on themselves and the others present. It is an emergent “team” or “community” in which positive interactions are greater than the negative ones.
.
The diversity, dimensionality and attribute space occupied by the final complex is much greater than the initial homogeneous starting structure of a single characteristic practice or behaviour. However, it is much less than the diversity, dimensionality and attribute spaces that all possible behaviours or practices would have brought to the system. The structural attractor therefore represents a reduced set of activities from all those possible in principle. It reflects the “discovery” of a subset of agents/practices whose attributes and dimensions have properties that provide positive feedback. This is different from a classical dynamic attractor that refers to the long-term trajectory traced by the given set of variables. Here, our structural attractor concerns the emergence of variables, dimensions and attribute sets that not only coexist but actually are synergetic."

This is so cool!!!

Quem diria que a minha Análise Matemática V ou VI viria em promoção de Mongo!!!
