Random Site Quote:
The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID)
is a cross-disciplinary professional society that investigates complex
systems apart from external programmatic constraints like materialism,
naturalism, or reductionism. The society provides a forum for formulating,
testing, and disseminating research on complex systems through critique,
peer review, and publication. Its aim is to pursue the theoretical
development, empirical application, and philosophical implications of
information- and design-theoretic concepts for complex systems and thereby
to retrain the scientific imagination to see purpose in nature.
von Neumann was born in Budapest Hungary on
December 28th, 1903. Von Neumann's genius showed through early
on in his childhood. At the age of six he was already showing an interest
in math and was able to exchange jokes with his father in classical
Greek. By the age of eight he became fascinated
