A Unified Framework for Structural Early Warning Signals: Decoupling Compression and Adaptive Capacity in Complex Systems This work introduces a unified framework for analyzing early warning signals (EWS) in complex systems by explicitly separating structural compression (Φ) from adaptive capacity (R) as independent dime...

Most #EWS track dynamics (variance, autocorrelation).

What if collapse begins earlier …

when systems quietly lose their #DegreesOfFreedom?

I introduce framework separating structural compression (Φ) from adaptivecapacity (R), showing when classical signals fail & why.

Who’s responsible when AI makes decisions?

Dr. Tom Williams @tomwilliams.phd explains why deploying algorithms is still a human choice—even when we don’t fully understand the system.

The Complicated Origins of “Ethical” Robotics

Roboticist Dr. Tom Williams @tomwilliams.phd examines how early robot ethics reflected power and control — and why robotics should serve society, not just tech elites.

Since there are many potential associations between 5 personality traits and 2 outcomes (in 2 possible directions), we found the #RegisteredReport approach in @pcirr useful for restricting hypothesis and analysis #DegreesOfFreedom. We received expert #PeerReview input that led us to adjust and […]

Deterministic and Stochastic Models Share Degrees of Freedom in EIT

New research shows deterministic and stochastic source models in theory share the same degrees of freedom, eigenvalue spectrum and basis functions. Submitted 10 Aug 2025. Read more: getnews.me/deterministic-and-stocha... #eit #degreesoffreedom

2.5 #DegreesOfFreedom…

I think, is that The Economy is about power, about causal control. It is a complex adaptive system in which ever evolving causal structures are pitted against each other, ready to tweak any #degreesOfFreedom that might be up for grabs, ad thus bend the flow of wealth in specific directions.
