Computational Mechanics, the research group at The Santa Fe Institute that I'm a part of.
Links to a site about boids, "artificial life" simulations of flocking birds. I'm not sure if boids has much to do with real flocks of birds. It is, however, a nice example of "rule as the sum of rulelessness."
The page for the mock class I taught at the College of the Atlantic. (The topic was dimension and fractals, not "rule as the sum of rulelessness.)"
If you have questions about my talk, or about the content of these pages, please feel free to send me email at dfeldman@landau.ucdavis.edu.
