Francis Heylighen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Francis Heylighen (born 1960) is a Belgian cyberneticist. Heylighen's scientific work (he published over 90 papers and a book) covers an extremely wide range of subjects, exemplifying his intellectual curiosity and fundamentally transdisciplinary way of thinking. Together with his PhD student Johan Bollen, in 1995 Heylighen was the first to propose algorithms that could turn the world-wide web into a self-organizing, learning network that exhibits collective intelligence, i.e. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Francis_Heylighen   (464 words)

F. Heylighen: Biographical Sketch Francis Heylighen was born in 1960 in Vilvoorde, near Brussels, in Belgium. Heylighen has authored some 80 scientific publications, in a variety of disciplines, including a monograph and four edited books. Johan Bollen, Dr. Heylighen has applied this framework by implementing a self-organizing knowledge web, that "learns" new concepts and associations from the way it is used. pcp.lanl.gov /HEYBIO.html   (528 words)

The global brain Heylighen goes as far as suggesting that there could be penalties—like disconnection or restricted access—for not playing along. Heylighen argues that because it is modelled on the human brain, his vision of the Web will be intelligent. Heylighen insists that ordinary people have nothing to lose by being part of the global brain. stephenpratt.com /poetry/brain1.html   (2693 words)

Principia Cybernetica Yet, this was exactly what Valentin Turchin, Francis Heylighen and Cliff Joslyn had in mind when they founded the Principia Cybernetica Website (http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/) in 1993, just months after the birth of the Web itself.    Russell and Whitehead, as Heylighen put it, formulated “the laws of thought governing mathematical reasoning by means of mathematical axioms, theorems and proofs. Their early recognition of the confusing nature of the emerging Net led to the inspiration underlying the formation of the Principia Cybernetica project: That, in order to understand the technological changes occurring in the world today, the new technologies themselves must be involved in the thought process. goertzel.org /benzine/PrincipiaCybernetica.htm   (2301 words)

Dr Born in 1960 in Vilvoorde, Belgium, with a physics PhD from the Free University of Brussels (VUB), Francis Heylighen started his career as yet another physicist with a craving to understand the foundations of the universe – the physical and philosophical laws that make everything tick.    Francis Heylighen, however, remains squarely focused on the Principia Cybernetica vision and all that it entails.   We are lucky to have wise scientists like Francis Heylighen to help guide us, collectively, in the direction of understanding. www.goertzel.org /benzine/heylighenProfile.htm   (1299 words)

World Wide Brain Francis Heylighen, for example, has postulated the technology- driven transformation of humanity into a "super- being" or a "metabeing." Heylighen... Heylighen believes that the Web will be the instrument that brings about the meta-system transition, leading from humanity to the meta-human superorganism. Heylighen's and Bollen's ideas on global-Web-mind-oriented technology development are relatively simple, modelled on neural network theory; whereas I favor a more radical and complex approach based on my work in theoretical cognitive science (as in the WebMind model described above). www.goertzel.org /papers/webart.html   (18348 words)

Meme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Francis Heylighen of the Center Leo Apostel for Interdisciplinary Studies has come up with what he called memetic selection criteria. Rogers reflected some of the influence of Gabriel Tarde, who set out "laws of imitation" in his book of 1890 that explained how people decided whether to imitate behavior. These criteria opened the way to a specialized field of applied memetics to find out if these selection criteria could stand the test of quantitative analyses. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Meme   (7248 words)

Designing for the Emergence Heylighen, Francis (1996) The Growth of Structural and Functional Complexity during Evolution, in: F. Heylighen and D. Aerts (eds.) "The Evolution of Complexity" (Kluwer Academic Publishers) The definition of GB that we use as a starting point is the one offered by Francis Heylighen, according to which it is "the mental, information processing part of the cybernetic system" that we call the global society. The potential of GB to usefully inform societal evolution is proportionate with its capacity to map and improve the "collection of information gathering, interpretation and decision-making mechanisms" that the global society uses "to select the actions that seem most likely to achieve these goals.�" (Heylighen in an email message). www.co-i-l.com /coil/knowledge-garden/kd/designing   (5859 words)
