From Newton's Second Law to the Decoding of Complex Fluctuations
This book introduces the latest results of interdisciplinary research on complex systems. Dr. He Zonglu obtained the nonlinear autoregressive integrated (NLARI) model for describing complex systems by mathematizing Newton's second law in stochastic systems. The NLARI model clarifies the generative mechanism and regulatory mechanism of complex systems (open systems, feedback loops, system evolution, randomness, nonlinearity, fractality and adaptability). In particular, nonlinear dynamical behavior and fractal behavior arise from the same physical integer-dimensional topological space, the former depending on the restoring and resisting forces within the system, and the latter as a product of fluctuations, which are the system's response to external perturbations. Self-adaptive functions are the product of maintaining stable fixed points through the resilience of Gaussian function component with the resistance. Separate complementary modeling of networks, emergence, spontaneous order, and self-organizing behavior. Applied results include SSCCPI circuits for efficient temporal signal propagation of high-intensity information in cortical networks, heart rate/heart rate variability for identifying heart disease and predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death, and optimal pathway for economic growth. This book demonstrates that the optimal way to increase profits at von Neumann equilibrium prices is achieved by a dynamic equilibrium-stabilizing fixed point formed by market competition, and that the ratio of average investment to economic resistance coefficient determines the rate of economic growth. NLARI model-based approach standardizes the research methodology in the field of complex systems. The methodology is highly interpretable, since all parameters are derived mathematically, have the same dynamical meaning and different physical meaning. The book details modeling, parameter estimation, statistical tests, algorithms, prediction, simulation, and interpretation of results and phenomena, and provides examples of applications in biology, network theory, medicine, and economics. This book is applicable to the study of complexity in a wide range of fields.

Matter-Dimensions Symmetry
To make a better parallel between quantum entanglement and Young's double-slit interferometer (or Young's interferences) we find the matter-dimension symmetry which says that in 3 dimensions we have: with x: amplification ratio, mi.x簡 = Mplanck, . .., in 5 dimensions we have: with x: amplification ratio, mi3.x⁴ = Mplanck3 and in n dimensions: m^(n-2).x^(n-1) = h^((n-2 )/2)*C^((n-2)/2)/G^((n-2)/2), with Mplanck^d = h^(d/2)*C^(d/2)/G^(d/2). A magnetically Arrested Disks should prevent the formation of jets via an accretion disk. But particles as small as neutrinos come out of an accretion disk and function after the transformation of their initial mass mi: mi → x.mi as matter (transformed matter) source of jets. In a dense plasma, such as that present in the hearts of stars, the number of neutrinos emitted per kilogram of matter can be of the order of 10⊃1;⁸ to 10⊃2;⁰ neutrinos per second, while on average, a kilogram of matter emits approximately 3 x 10⊃1;⁰ neutrinos per second, and with black holes core edge we reach 1.75288144895719 x 10⁹ more neutrinos emitted (10⊃2;⁰ x 1.75288144895719 x 10⁹) to produce-transform x.m_anti-neutrino = 5.704892367906067*10^-34 kg (x>=10⊃2;⁰) from matter-dimension symmetry process.

Reinventing Seti
For millennia, humanity has looked up at the sprawling tapestry of stars and wondered what lay beyond. With time, we learned that each star is not a pinprick point in a domed sky, but a massive plasma sphere so far away that the distance becomes incomprehensible to the human mind, measured in light years of millions and billions. This distance invokes crucial questions. Do we share the universe with other intelligent lifeforms? If so, how do we approach the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI)? Lastly, do we need to examine our assumptions about extraterrestrial intelligence? Reinventing SETI clears out the cobwebs of outdated or wrongheaded SETI paradigms such as Fermi's Paradox, the Drake Equation, and METI (i.e., proactively sending signals from Earth to putative aliens). It argues that scientists should approach the pursuit of extraterrestrials (ETs) in a more effective manner. Author John Gertz states that ETs, as biological lifeforms themselves, cannot accomplish interstellar travel, but have instead placed robotic probes throughout the universe, perhaps even in our own Solar System. Gertz also warns that humankind is woefully unprepared for the day of First Contact with an alien probe right here in our own backyard. He suggests contingency planning, involving international cooperation as well as broad cross-disciplinary expertise. Humorous and deeply informative, this book takes the reader through the universe, conventional SETI methods, ideas on future ET exploration, and a discussion on who else shares this space.

Understanding Time and Space
Understanding Time and Space is an invitation to the theory of relativity for anyone who is now or has ever been an inquisitive high school student.Relativity can seem violently counterintuitive. It says that different observers can describe the world in very different ways and they can all be correct. It helps to be reminded that you've known this since childhood, when you learned that the direction you call left might be the same as the direction I call right, and we can both be correct. This book illuminates and demystifies the theory of relativity through repeated analogies to that kind of everyday experience. Dozens of drawings, analogous to the maps we all use to navigate through ordinary space, emphasize that relativity is a branch of geometry - the geometry of navigating through that more mysterious venue called spacetime.The reader is assisted by exercises sprinkled throughout, and by "dangerous curve" sections that identify and combat the most common misunderstandings.Steven Landsburg is a professor at the University of Rochester. He has published widely in mathematics, economics, physics and philosophy. His hobby is answering questions about relativity on the internet, which has taught him a lot about how to be helpful.

The Archive and the Aural City
In The Archive and the Aural City, Alejandro L. Madrid examines the possibilities for retrieving from the archive sounds that were not meant to be heard. Drawing on ?ngel Rama's notion of the Lettered City, Madrid proposes a notion of the Aural City-a Latin American urban intellectual elite for whom sound and listening are central to the creation, re-creation, and circulation of new types of knowledge. While many of these elites carry forward a nationalistic agenda, Madrid contends that the Aural City's archives and the ways they are listened to and conceived through sound and music can also help dismantle dominant frameworks of national or colonial culture and build more inclusive spaces for intellectual exchange and political mobilization. From national archives in Latin America and colonial institutions abroad to sound exhibits, instruments, and internet-based archival projects, Madrid demonstrates how the development of urban spaces is understood through sound. In this way, he expands understandings of the archive's social and sonic power.
