Irreducible complexity

[Staples]

Really great video on complexity and systems thinking from a comp-sci perspective.

Irreducible complexity is very akin to an insight I had about how reality has made a justification for everything.

Everything has infinite depth and complexity, you can keep zooming in forever and find more nuances and distinctions forever.

In my work I need to understand the human visual system and how we interface with light. I am trying to connect the dots from the physics of light, to the display technology we use, to the conscious experience in our brains. It's clear even only half decade into this work that I'll never reach the bottom. Just like the mandelbrot set.

What I got from it:

1. Complexity spreads like wildfire
2. Predicting systems from inside has trade-offs.

@Staples Donald Hoffman is who you are looking for then his work is to describe human visual system. His work is describing consciousness with math and game theory.

Nice share, thanks @Hojo. I've not come across his work before.
