David Chapman: Upgrade your cargo cult for the win. What does it take for an individual to do innovative intellectual work, such as scientific discovery? Mere mastery of methods is not good enough. What does it take for a community or institution to address a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world effectively? Mission statements, structures, principles, and procedures are not good enough. (more)

Robert Boyle FRS[2] (/bɔɪl/; 25 January 1627 – 31 December 1691) was an Anglo-Irish[3] natural philosopher, chemist, physicist, alchemist and inventor. Boyle is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry, and one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific method. He is best known for Boyle's law,[4] which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system.[5] Among his works, The Sceptical Chymist is seen as a cornerstone book in the field of chemistry. He was a devout and pious Anglican and is noted for his writings in theology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Boyle

The term stigmergy derives from the way colonies of insects Self Organize, to tell each other where to find food and to build complex architectural structures... The basis of a stigmergic system is a location on the Web where people can represent themselves as agents... There are several important areas of information where algorithms, search engines and database technology have difficulties with indexing and classification. These are where there is: ambiguity; high volatility; subjective content; high rates of technological change; classification of people; classification of services; etc. In these problematic information areas, there is a need for multiple levels of categorization and a means of being able to compare conflicting or alternative information. This use of stigmergy provides an elegant and low cost solution by providing a self organizing framework to allow people to be represented by agents for the purpose of exchanging and comparing information and knowledge.
