We are very excited to share our latest 📄 (@philsci.bsky.social): a revamped version of #nicheconstruction theory that captures the evolutionary consequences of organismic activities beyond changes in selection. We call it the 'Matrix Account' 👇 philsci-archive.pitt.edu/30043/ #evobio #HPS #hpbio
We have a new preprint out! And one that is especially dear to my heart:

How adaptive systems evolve and develop from primitive life forms to modern AI? 🌌
Join the Evolutionary Development of Universal Complexity (EDU) satellite at #CCS2026. We will be exploring the fundamental evo-devo dynamics driving #emergence and self-organization at all scales!
Now published in open access! Your one-stop shop for the philosophy of language models. It's the spiritual descendant of our two-part preprint from 2024, fully updated. This should be particularly useful for anyone looking for an entry point into this rapidly growing field.
Sports aren't just games; they are highly dynamic, data-rich ecosystems! 🏅
At the Complexity and Sports satellite, we're applying #NetworkScience and #ComplexSystems theory to athletic performance and team dynamics. Ready to change the way you view the game? 🥅 #CCS2026
The success of large language models (LLMs) across many domains of AI research has generated intense debate. Some attribute their impressive performance on complex tasks to human-like linguistic and ...
