About us
The Santa Fe Institute is the world headquarters for complexity science, operated as an independent, not-for-profit research and education center located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. At the Santa Fe Institute, we search for the hidden order in the evolved universe. Our researchers endeavor to understand and unify the underlying, shared patterns in complex physical, biological, social, cultural, technological, and even possible astrobiological worlds. Our global research network of scholars spans borders, departments, and disciplines, unifying curious minds steeped in rigorous logical, mathematical, and computational reasoning. As we reveal the unseen mechanisms and processes that shape these evolving worlds, we seek to use this understanding to promote the well-being of humankind and of life on earth.

“To create a novel or a painting, an artist makes choices that are fundamentally alien to artificial intelligence.” - SFI Miller Scholar Ted Chiang, ‘Why A.I. Isn’t Going to Make Art’ in the The New Yorker. https://lnkd.in/guJFsxE7

How does government-sanctioned violence diffuse from one community to another? What prevents the spread of targeted ethnic or racial policies? Medieval Europe saw a rash of exclusionary policies that expelled Jews from cities and, sometimes, entire countries. But a closer look at the situation in the western Holy Roman Empire offers a more nuanced story according to SFI Complexity Postdoctoral Fellow Kerice Doten-Snitker in a new paper published in Comparative Political Studies — one that could be helpful in understanding how violent policies spread, or don’t spread, today. https://lnkd.in/eUC3jWHy

#TBT In 2004, SFI held a summer event hosting two dozen middle- and secondary-school teachers from Albuquerque and across Northern New Mexico to focus on the use of computer modeling, IT tools, and complexity science in local classrooms. With the help of the National Science Foundation, teachers in New Mexico were trained and enabled to integrate IT concepts and computer modeling into their curriculums. https://ow.ly/tUfI50RHmj7

SFI is currently accepting applications for Complexity Postdoctoral Fellowships starting in 2025. “SFI is really a place where there’s an opportunity for people that don’t have a lot of exposure to social science historically in their fields to learn about social science and develop some mutual understand and respect across these very different fields. It’s really the only way for academia and research communities to be moving forward and think about… where our globe is heading in the coming decades.” – SFI Postdoctoral Fellow Kerice Doten-Snitker, interdisciplinary social scientist who integrates sociology, political science, economics, and history.

Remembering Robert (Bob) Maxfield, a curious mind with many interests, wise counsel, and the longest-serving member of SFI’s Board of Trustees. “Bob carefully read the papers SFI researchers wrote. His interests were centered on questions of technological evolution and innovation, and they radiated into far ranging branches of complexity science, from the origin of life to the limits of artificial intelligence,” says SFI President David Krakauer. “Science and engineering were the foundations of Bob’s interest and the platform for his long-standing support of SFI science. Bob was smart, kind, and committed and everyone benefited from his judgment. I sought him out often and will find him again in my ‘strange-loop’ of virtualized friends. We shall all miss him.” https://lnkd.in/gm33mVGf

The Zeroth Principle of Thermodynamics states that two systems in equilibrium have the same temperature. It is simple and compelling. But it is wrong, says SFI Fractal Faculty member, Carlo Rovelli, and offers a suggestion, based on the notion of mutual information. Tune in to Rovelli’s talk on the “Death and Resurrection of the Zeroth Principle” today at 12:30 pm MT. #Livestreaming: youtube.com/@SFIScience

Higher-order networks capture the interactions between more than two nodes. Such networks have also increased interest in the study of brain networks. Ginestra Bianconi (Queen Mary University of London) shows that higher-order interactions are responsible for new non-linear dynamical processes that cannot be observed in pairwise networks. Tune into ‘Topology Shapes Dynamics of Higher-Order Networks’ at SFI, today, at 12:30 p.m. MT #livestreaming at SFI's YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/e9beRWhV
