        Innovations grow exponentially with complexity. Innovation can be practically unbounded, even in finite arenas, if the number of levels of complexity in the system is allowed to grow.

        For a system to grow in complexity, it has to be able to evolve building blocks, which can be combined to create higher-level building blocks, which can be combined... unbounded composition https://twitter.com/gordonbrander/status/1219110402832756737?s=21 …https://twitter.com/gordonbrander/status/1219110402832756737 …

        Markets evolve building blocks when yesterday’s products become tomorrow’s components.

        Wow! Alan Kay converged on a similar “3 kinds of new” https://twitter.com/benfle/status/1246087387484164097?s=21 …https://twitter.com/benfle/status/1246087387484164097 …

        Replying to @gordonbrander
        It reminds me of Alan Kay's brick-architecture-model model. https://computinged.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/alan-kay-on-hoping-that-simple-is-not-too-simple/ … Brick laying is rearranging existing building blocks. Architecture is coming up with these building blocks (and glue). Model is about modeling other artifacts so you can think better about them.

        “Evolutionary dynamics is very different from attractor dynamics: It behaves somewhat like an attractor on the short term, but over a longer term, instabilities lead to the generation of innovation.”

        Nearing the point of maximal optimization, there is increased risk of disruptions. Optimized = fragile. Disruptions force evolution to explore new directions. https://twitter.com/chumulu/status/1098270697183424512?s=21 …https://twitter.com/chumulu/status/1098270697183424512 …

        “The ecosystem consolidates into a highly organized network, as each agent seeks to eke out $ from its position in the value chain. Keystone species appear at critical points. A shock demolishes one of the keystone species, causing cascade failure.”http://gordonbrander.com/pattern/punctuated-equilibrium/ …

        What processes lead to sequestration of information in units that can serve as evolvable elements? A promising mechanism: “alternation between unstable dynamics and contracting, fixed-point dynamics. Alternation forces the system to produce information bottlenecks.”
