Unstable singularities and randomness : their importance in the complexity of physical, biological, and social sciences /

Traditionally, randomness and determinism have been viewed as being diametrically opposed, based on the idea that causality and determinism is complicated by noise. Although recent research has suggested that noise can have a productive role, it still views noise as a separate entity. This work sugg...
