Show Notes

On this episode of ID the Future from the vault, University of British Columbia at Vancouver philosophy faculty member Richard Johns discusses his paper in the journal Synthese titled "Self-organisation in dynamical systems: a limiting result." In the paper, Dr. Johns argues that there are limits to the complexity of structures that can be produced by self-organization. Johns shows that Darwinian evolution is actually a type of a self-organizing process, and that it too is limited in the types of biological structures it can produce.
