	PH (complexity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		In computational complexity theory, the complexity class PH is the union of all complexity classes in the polynomial hierarchy:
		PH has a simple logical characterization: it is the set of languages expressible by second order logic.
		PH contains almost all well-known complexity classes inside PSPACE; in particular, it contains P, NP, and co-NP.

	OMEGA ENGINEERING - pH Control
		Systems for pH control are characterized by extreme rangeability and sensitivity, and are also subject to difficulties arising from contact between measuring electrodes and hostile fluids.
		It was called in because the pH was swinging from 0 to 14 despite efforts to tune the controllers, manually manipulate the reagent, and regulate the influent flow.
		We made precise measurements of the pH in the tank and found that the square waves were worse than the plant thought - the process instruments recorded only the high end of the pH scale, but the fluctuations actually covered almost the whole range from 0 to 14.

	Brad Cox, Ph.D.
		A complex system is any system composed of numerous parts, or agents, each of which must act individually according to its own circumstances and requirements, but which by so acting has global effects which simultaneously change the circumstances and requirements affecting all the other agents.
		Complexity further suggests the radical idea that the object of command and control is not to achieve control but to keep the entire organization surfing on the edge of being "out of control" because that is where the system is most adaptive, creative, flexible and energized.
		Complexity suggests that, just as evolution does not have a predetermined destination, military plans should not prescribe detailed end-state conditions which are instead always changing in response to developments.

		Complexity theory is part of the theoryof computation dealing with the resources required during computation to solve a given problem.
		The time complexity of a problem is the number of steps that it takes to solve an instance of the problem, asa function of the size of the input, (usually measured in bits) using themost efficient algorithm.
		The complexity class P is the set ofdecision problems that can be solved by a deterministic machine in polynomial time.

	THE SIMPLE AND THE COMPLEX Part II: THE SCIENCE OF COMPLEXITY with MURRAY GELL-MANN, Ph.D.
		A complex adaptive system receives a stream of data, and it picks out regularities in that data stream, perceived regularities, compresses their description into a very brief message of some kind which I call a schema, and then it uses that schema for description or prediction, or for prescription of behavior for itself.
		So to have a complex adaptive system around, watching what happens, observing that this happened and not that, is still interesting; but it doesn't play the central role that it played in the standard Copenhagen interpretation.
		But complex adaptive systems then evolve to exploit such a quasi-classical world, and they need the regularity that comes from the quasi-classicality in order to find regularities -- in order to behave like complex adaptive systems, in order to find patterns, they need the regularity associated with the quasi-classical domain, as we call it.

	Intelligent Design? A Special Report from Natural History Magazine
		Complex, sequenced patterns exhibit intelligence in their design.
		Note that complexity in the sense of improbability is not sufficient to eliminate chance: flip a coin long enough, and you'll witness a highly complex or improbable event.
		In the evolutionary process, an increase in biological complexity does not represent a "free lunch" -- it is bought and paid for, because random genetic variation is subjected to natural selection by the environment, which itself is already structured.

	Cogprints - Emerging Consciousness as a Result of Complex-Dynamical Interaction Process (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The ensuing concept of dynamic complexity (and related intrinsic chaoticity) is absolutely universal and can be applied to the problem of consciousness that emerges now as a high enough, properly specified level of unreduced complexity of a suitable interaction process.
		This complexity level can be identified with the appearance of bound, permanently localised states in the multivalued brain dynamics from strongly chaotic states of unconscious intelligence, by analogy with classical behaviour emergence from quantum states at much lower levels of world dynamics.
		We show that the main properties of this dynamically emerging consciousness (and intelligence, at the preceding complexity level) correspond to empirically derived properties of natural versions and obtain causally substantiated conclusions about their artificial realisation, including the fundamentally justified paradigm of genuine machine consciousness.

		This conclusion is supported by the causally complete (physically and mathematically consistent) picture of the fundamental levels of reality derived, without artificial introduction of any structure or 'principle', from the unreduced analysis of the (generic) interaction process between two primal, physically real, but a priori structureless entities, the electromagnetic and gravitational protofields.
		A physically real wave associated with any moving particle and travelling in a surrounding material medium was introduced by Louis de Broglie in a series of short notes in 1923 and in a more complete form in his thesis defended in Paris on the 25th November 1924.
		The qualitatively new concept of dynamic complexity in quantum mechanics is based on a new paradigm appearing within a nonperturbational analysis of the Schroedinger equation for a generic Hamiltonian system.
