Abstract

Dynamic networking and dynamic networks suggest new ways to transfer information utilizing the long-distance communication through local cooperative interaction. A great deal of recent research has clarified how the global intelligence of a complex network emerges from the local cooperation of elements, whether these elements are neurons or people and emphasizes the role played by critical phase transitions in the observed persistence of this cooperation. This is no where more evident than in the recent research on the cooperative behavior of neurons within the brain.

Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful…. George E. P. Box
