New 'object oriented science' for living and working with natural whole systems
notes on scientific data and analysis techniques
The Growing Effort to Decouple GDP from Energy and CO2, seems not to be having the right effect, raising serious questions about what is our real plan. Here I collect the available solid data on long term Global GDP PPP and its long standing coupling to everything that goes with growth, like energy and CO2.
A change in natural science is emerging along with “computing” turning away from using theory & equations as a guide, toward using data pattern recognition for naturally occurring systems revealed in the data to be a guide. Preface Note: About 20 Years ago algorithms were developed for selectively extracting differentiable continuities from raw data, making a major step beyond “splines”
Re: 18 – 21 Oct 2016 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (research ref’s at the bottom) Fourth meeting of the IAEG-SDGs SD indicators need one more, the World SDG so Innovators can design their goals in relation to the whole My comment is as an expert on both system design and natural science indicators, on how innovative organization
To help people understand my work here are a couple examples of data science to discover dramatic recent culture changes in New York City. The work is based on a careful lifelong study of eventful natural change, of all sorts, done by following the stages of growth and decay evident in the natural life-cycles of culture
Post event note: UN meetings on the first year of SDG implementation are over now, were very intense, and in the end quite successful for finding a new way to discuss the neglected issue of natural limits. The scientific community that understands the connection between our natural limits and economic growth has been totally shut out of the UN
The following is written for circulation in the “data science” research communities, on some advances in scientific methods of system recognition I’d like to share. It starts with mention of the very nice 9 year old work published by Google on “Detecting Influenza Epidemics using search engine query data” taken from a letter to that paper’s
Working with BigData, especially learning how to read the designs and behavioral patterns of the earth’s natural systems, its living cultures of all kinds, and to sense our roles in them, opens up a tremendous new field of understanding. It of course also opens up very new kinds of perspectives to puzzle over, both offering to show us new paths
…. The distinct possibility is that, for the first time: Science might soon be able to study all the objects of nature, in their innate form not just the models we make based on what data is available… ______________________ In-depth Pattern Language Research “Guiding patterns of naturally occurring design” 1) For PURPLSOC 2015: on “Elements” (final for publication)
Warm greetings, real math. ________________ We publicize the “special places” that are threatened, and people respond, yes. But we have to face that after 100 years of doing that, the environmental movement that our conservation groups and actions have been at the center of, has protected lots and lots of **special places** but is
There’s been a long debate and mystery caused by economic accounting for the world’s energy use not being able to trace the trade in economic energy services, the amount of China’s energy embedded in our TV’s and the amount of of France’s energy embedded in Soviet block heavy industry… etc. (See also “Pictures of WhatGDPMeasures” with 11
