Collective Beings

Exploring advanced concepts in physics and their applications, this book delves into quantum field theory, phase transitions, and the role of noise in non-ideal models like neural networks and cellular automata. It examines ergodicity and its implications for collective beings, as well as its relationship with emergence. The text further applies these theories to social systems, discussing growth, sustainable development, and ethics, while addressing the dynamics of systems archetypes, virtual systems, and knowledge management.
